Combat Airspeeders of the Rebel Air Force, penned by Whitney Weston, appeared within Challenge 47. This piece presented both the AHS-1 heavy assault airspeeder and the Tachyon fast-attack airspeeder for use in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game.
A resemblance can be seen between the Tachyon fast-attack airspeeder and concept artwork created by Ralph McQuarrie for the T-47 airspeeder.
