Description: The Transpora Cloud Car was a popular defence speeder on Gas Giants during the Old Republic Era, and although no longer produced, it was manuafactured in such large numbers that it still remains common to this day. Using the twin cockpit design that was copied by newer vehicles such as the Bespin Motors Storm IV, the Transpora provides a useful pilot and gunner arrangement which allows the crew to co-ordinate almost seemlessly. The altitude range of the Transpora is larger than many newer Cloud Cars, but still does not allow it to operate from a planetary surface, limiting the vehicles usefulness on non-gas giants, although some worlds do use them for planetary defence, basing these vehicles from repulsorlift platforms high in their atmosphere.
