The tow truck, alternatively called the clone impound vessel, represented a kind of starship operated by the clone troopers serving the freshly established Galactic Empire. This vessel possessed a pair of arms situated at its front, designed for capturing other starships. On the planet of Saleucami, the clone impound vessel was put into service, where it confiscated starships—even those belonging to civilians—and transported them to an impound dock located at the local spaceport.
