The Arrow-17 airspeeder was manufactured and sold by Aratech Repulsor Company. It required one pilot to operate, and had room for three passengers. The back of the airspeeder contained enough room to mount a rack of blaster rifles.
Built by Aratech Repulsor Company, the Arrow-17 was active during the early years of the New Republic.
