The T-24 airspeeder, also known as an atmospheric flyer, represents an airspeeder designed for planetary use. It was manufactured by the Incom Corporation well before the Battle of Naboo took place.
Nella Bold's T-24 atmospheric flyer
Featuring a wedge-like shape, the T-24 airspeeder was a compact vehicle. It included a single vertical stabilizer positioned above the central cockpit. Entry was gained through a side door, revealing an interior designed for a single pilot along with two passengers.
Incom produced a limited run of only 200 T-24 units. By 37 BBY, these airspeeders were already viewed as technologically obsolete. Nella Bold, the daughter of Orin Bold who owned the Bold moisture plant located on Ord Mantell, stated that she obtained a green-colored Incom T-24 after it was abandoned by miners. Nella implemented various upgrades, including a thrust accelerator from Subpro and an exhaust converter from Mobquet, successfully overcoming compatibility problems between Incom and Mobquet components. Moreover, she installed a retractable twin blaster cannon on the underside of the vehicle.
Five years before the Invasion of Naboo, Nella provided transportation to Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Taxer Sundown's stellar energy station using her T-24. The Jedi were then ambushed by Sundown's henchmen, resulting in Nella's abduction and confinement at his private residence. The Jedi intended to give chase using the T-24, but when they returned to the docking bay, they only witnessed a thief absconding with the airspeeder.
Ultimately, the T-24 was returned to the Bold moisture plant, where Obi-Wan discovered that Sundown had initially gifted the speeder to Orin and had used hypnosis to convince him that he had recovered it. Sundown exploited the situation by using it to smuggle goods from the moisture plant to his own facility, with Nella unknowingly acting as the transporter. When Obi-Wan confronted Sundown, he fled in the T-24, prompting a pursuit by Obi-Wan on a speeder bike. He severed the fin from the top of Sundown's stolen vehicle, causing the airspeeder to crash outside his energy plant, resulting in Sundown's death. The canopy was violently torn off by a Mantellian Savrip.
The T-24's overall design served as inspiration for Incom's subsequent T-47 airspeeder model, although the latter lacked the characteristic top-mounted fin.
