Gondola skimmersub


A type of aquatic transport known as a gondola skimmersub saw use in Bartyn's Landing, which was a shore-side settlement found on Lamaredd. This vehicle was the result of collaborative efforts between Gungan and Quarren engineers residing in the area, who sought a method for traversing both the water's surface and the deeper sections of The Ring district.

The design of a gondola skimmersub shared similarities with a Gungan bongo, featuring a prominent dorsal fin resembling that of a fish. It also included a central sail that could be retracted for underwater navigation, hydrojets for maneuvering beneath the waves, and smaller repulsor sails situated on both the left (port) and right (starboard) sides. Constructed with transparisteel windows, it was capable of descending to depths of up to 500 meters. A key difference from the bongo was the gondola skimmersub's inability to utilize Naboo's locab plasma.

By 29 BBY, it was common for families residing in Bartyn's Landing to possess one of these vehicles.

There may be a connection between this vehicle and the subskimmers that were available for hire at Ackrahbala's Swoops & Speeders.
