The XJ-6 was a high-end, luxurious airspeeder produced by Narglatch AirTech during the final decades of the Galactic Republic era, known for its speed and style.
Crafted by Narglatch AirTech, the XJ-6 was a striking and streamlined airspeeder featuring an open-cockpit. This opulent hot rod offered seating for both a driver and a passenger, and it commonly sported a yellow color scheme. To enhance its performance, the XJ-6 airspeeder incorporated afterburner centrifuges that directed streams of air through the vehicle.
Simon Greyshade, a Senator representing the Vorzyd sector and possessing considerable wealth, owned a uniquely customized XJ-6. This special modification, derived from a Narglatch AirTech kit, showcased oversized twin turbojet engines positioned at the front of the vehicle. These engines, initially conceived for use in groups of fifty within the wing nacelles of massive seventh-stage bank-courier repulsor-trucks on Aargau, employed a system of thrust ducts to force pressurized air through the speeder, enabling its movement through atmospheres. In 22 BBY, this yellow speeder was parked on a balcony several levels below Padmé's Apartment on Coruscant. Anakin Skywalker commandeered it to pursue Zam Wesell, the assassin who had attempted to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala. Judging it the fastest in the docking bay, Skywalker bypassed the security systems of Greyshade's vehicle and gave chase to Wesell throughout the skylanes of Coruscant. Obi-Wan Kenobi eventually brought the speeder to a halt outside the Outlander Club on Vos Gesal Street, after which it was retrieved and returned to its designated parking space. Senator Greyshade found himself unable to file charges, and the formal investigation into the vehicle's theft was prematurely concluded.
