ABTL-S8 K-wing assault starfighter using advanced SLAM propulsion
TheSubLight Acceleration Motor, abbreviated toSLAM, was an overdrive system that allowed theMissile Boat to double itssublight speed.
By drawing energy from the missile boat's laser cannon reserves, SLAM provided a burst of acceleration from theion engines to enhance the Missile Boat's combat capabilities. SLAM allowed a Missile Boat to unleash its massive warhead load against acapital ship, and then flee any enemystarfighters or anti-starfighterconcussion missiles.
A similar system was later used on theNew Republic'sK-wing assault starfighter.
