Background and History

The T-16 skyhopper was a high-performance airspeeder sold by Incom. It was equipped with an ion drive and a fully pressurized cockpit, allowing it to operate at trans-orbital altitudes. The Skyhopper was a common sight across the galaxy, with versions of the craft found on nearly every settled world. The T-16 was identified by its tri-wing design and triangular cabin. The three wings provided excellent stability. The central airfoil segmented the canopy and blocked much of the pilot's view, but computer displays and a holographic mapping system compensated for this decreased field of view.
