The A-A5 Speeder Truck represents a class of speeder truck initially designed for use by civilians. However, the Alliance to Restore the Republic modified it for service in the Galactic Civil War against the forces of the Galactic Empire. Despite not being primarily designed for intense combat situations, this vehicle saw action in battles and served to transport Wookiee warrior troops to the front lines. It featured a laser cannon turret and substantial armor plating.
The A-A5 Speeder Truck made its initial canon debut in the mobile game Star Wars: Commander with an update in August of 2018. The game itself was initially launched in August of 2014. Prior to this, the A-A5 had been featured in Star Wars Legends materials, including titles like The Last Command and The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, among others.
