Usage
- "My custom speeder. There's nothing like it in the whole galaxy."
- ―Rey[3]
Rey's speeder was made entirely from scratch byRey while she was living on herhomeworld ofJakku. It was created using scavenged parts from thestarship graveyard on Jakku,Niima Outpost, or from parts acquired fromTeedotraders. Rey built a vehicle combining the characteristics of a speeder and aswoop, making the most out of scavenged military hardware and civilian machinery. The speeder was extremely fast and could carry a heavy load, making it ideal for long-range scavenging trips.
Design[]
- "I built it myself, from parts I found in the Graveyard and in junk piles in Niima, along with a few things I got in trade from the Teedos. Everything was stuff I scavenged or that other people had thrown away."
- ―Rey[3]
Powertrain[]
- "I designed my speeder to carry heavy loads back and forth between the Graveyard and Niima. But when it's lightly loaded it goes really fast-- and pretty high."
- ―Rey[3]
Rey's speeder schematics
Rey'sspeeder was powered by powerful twin-turbojetengines reclaimed from an oldcargo hauler. Rey chose to mount the engine in a stacked configuration instead of side-by-side and bolted them to powered amplifier intakes from anImperialgunship.She then customized them with racing swoopafterburners and an array ofrepulsorlifts taken from crashedX-wing starfighters. When lightly loaded, the speeder's overpowered engines andrepulsorlifts gave it a similar flight ceiling to a dedicatedairspeeder.[1]
Protection[]
- "…if anyone steals my baby they won't get far."
- ―Rey[3]
Rey's speeder was equipped with a rider interface that wouldn't allow it to be powered on without a valid fingerprint. The wiring allowed Rey to electrify the speeder's chassis, shocking any would-bethieves orscavengers while she was away. In addition, the speeder was ungainly and hard to operate unless the user was familiar with how it handled.[1]
