T-16 SKYHOPPER



T-16 skyhopper – 40,000 ICs
The T-16 skyhopper was a high-performance airspeeder. It was equipped with an ion engine and a fully pressurized cockpit, allowing it to operate at trans-orbital altitudes. Civilian versions of the skyhopper were armed with pneumatic cannons, though many law-enforcement agencies and planetary militaries throughout the Galaxy utilized modified T-16s due to their overall good performance; however, because it was armed with only a single mounted repeating blaster, it was often overlooked by the military. The skyhopper was a common sight across the Galaxy, with versions of the craft found on nearly every settled world. The T-16 was identified by its tri-wing design and triangular cabin. The three wings, which were reproduced in countless Imperial transports, provided excellent stability. The central airfoil segmented the canopy and blocked much of the pilot's view, but computer displays and a holographic mapping system compensated for this decreased field of view.
