STAPs

Single-Trooper Aerial Platforms

STAPs are another popular type of repulsorlift vehicle used by security and military forces all over the galaxy (in non-military pursuits they are referred to as "airhooks"). Trade Federation STAPs sum up the operative goal in building a STAP: speed, maneuverability, and added firepower. Even though they pack no particularly awesome weaponry, a STAP's guns are still superior to that of a speeder bike's, and the little flying platforms are almost as fast...and very maneuverable. STAPs are very lightly armored, and as such, cheap to produce. In fact, due to more simplified engines, they are cheaper than speeder bikes and more maneuverable than skiffs...hence, the Trade Federation battle droids are often seen supported by STAP troops acting as recon scouts and battlefield support.

Player Characters wishing to buy STAPs can use these stats as well.
