History

A small, wedge-shaped vehicle, the Alliance snowspeeder was a two-person craft crewed by a pilot and a rear-facing tailgunner, with a top speed of 1,100 kph. It had two forward-facing heavy laser cannons and a harpoon cannon placed in the rear and manned by the tailgunner.

In 9 BBY, T-47s were used to haul sewage but saw use by the Hidden Path. When Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tala Durith rescued Leia Organa, Sully Stark and Wade Resselian helped them escape from Fortress Inquisitorius by strafing the stronghold's landing platform in their T-47s.

During the Galactic Civil War, the Partisans had access to T-47s during their insurgency on Jedha. During the Battle of Hoth, Rebel Alliance snowspeeders used tow cables to disable All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) walkers by firing the tow cable and chasing it out around the walker's legs, stopping its locomotion and immobilizing the walker.

Behind the scenes


The T-47 airspeeder first appeared in the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
