Escort Carrier (Grand Arena)

Escort Carriers were a type of repulsorcraft utilized within the Grand Arena on the planet Vespaara during the Escort game played by the Hunters of the Outer Rim. These rectangular craft hovered just above the ground, piloted by an orange and white R4 astromech droid, though it would only move when members of a specific team of Hunters within its vicinity, attempting to move it from one side of the battlefield to the other within a time limit while defending it from the enemy team. Two variants of Escort Carriers existed, the Gorax Hunt Payload deployed within the Gorax Hunt arena, which sported a large harpoon, and the Survivor Salvage Payload deployed within the Survivor Salvage arena, which instead carried the remains of a defunct AT-ST.
