Command Speeder 714-D was the specific model name given to a customized version of the LAVr QH-7 Chariot. As was typical for LAVs, the 714-D was engineered for use in planetary battles and was distinguished by its resilient, armored external plating.
In the year 5 ABY, personnel from the Senate Planetary Intelligence Network absconded with a QH-7 from the Imperial military. Under the direction of Admiral Ackbar, located at Pisces Base, engineers upgraded the diminutive speeder by incorporating Ion engine repulsorlifts and a [hyperdrive](/article/hyperdrive/legends] mechanism, thereby providing the 714-D with the capacity for limited interstellar travel.
A typical QH-7 LAV speeder. Luke Skywalker flew the 714-D to the world of Kessel to meet up with C-3PO and R2-D2, who were conducting a clandestine mission on behalf of the New Republic. Following the retrieval of the droids, Luke brought the speeder back to Pisces Base, situated on the planet Mon Calamari.
