Coruscant Taxi
Coruscant’s galactic city was not only the capital of the Republic and later the Galactic Empire, but also the top spot for speeder pilots and enthusiasts. Billions of airspeeds of all kinds roamed the skies of the planet at each time of the day. Despite strict traffic regulations, dreadful maneuvers could be witnessed every day, most of them carried out by reckless airspeed taxi pilots. These taxi pilots were granted special licenses, enabling them to neglects pre-determined flight routes and get their passengers to their destination as quickly as possible. Many of those pilots utilized custom speeders, equipped with special engines, controls and luxuries fitting their needs and those of their customers. These speeders were so valuable to them, that often they spent a fortune on repairs and never settled for a newer model. Some of the speeders were said to be several hundreds of years old, judging by their retro appearance, and probably had been handed down from generation to generation of taxi pilots throughout their service.

A kind of retro 90’s looking speeder I pieced together recently. Much inspired by GunnBuilding and his amazing collection of vehicles. It also uses some of the techniques utilized in Asami’s Satomobil, a car which might make for a good speeder itself.
