Imperial patrol landspeeder

Imperial patrol landspeeders were modified Sorosuub V-35 Couriers used by scout troopers on Edan II. One was present at an outpost shortly after the Assault on Edan Base.

It had three repulsor engines tucked within the chassis. A rudimentary targeting system was placed at the front seat. The speeder also was marked with "Imperial Patrol" insignia on both sides.

A landspeeder redesigned for planetary patrol that was well armored and mounted a light repeating blaster on the forward hood. The blaster had a 180- or 200-degree fire arc and was fired by the gunner in the forward passenger seat or the driver.

Unlike the base V-35 model, this military variant removes the folding passenger compartment panels, leaving a windshield instead. The chassis is also extended in the mid-section for a row of three seats. It also has a slower maximum speed due to its thicker armor.
