TRL-03 SkyClaw

The TRL-03 SkyClaw was a model of large airspeeder produced by Ubrikkian Industries. The TRL-03 had a unique design, boasting a thick, circular flatbed, a forward cockpit, and a distinctive spherical control pod. Its control pod could swivel, giving the operator visibility to spot obstacles during tricky maneuvers.

The TRL-03's multidirectional aft tractor beam was capable of lifting and placing vehicles and objects on its flatbed, then usually secured by flex-cable nets. The ventral, downward-facing tractor beam hoisted vehicles and non-standard loads beneath the speeder, although needed to be unloaded before landing. Its tractor beams were power-hungry, so the TRL-03 had a short range using them to hold loads for long distances. Crewed by one pilot and one tractor beam operator, the SkyClaw was equipped with medium-ranged sensors, could reach a maximum altitude of 1,000 meters, and cost 60,000 credits during the Galactic Civil War.
