BeamStreaks were a type of airspeeder known for its exceptional speed.[1]
Characteristics
Manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company, BeamStreaks were very expensive, and were advertised as being "so fast that to crash in one was to die in one."[1] This reputation for speed was well deserved, with Han Solo once remarking that a normal speeder would need to have its power train modified with numerous quad-feeds and thrust-boosters to even begin to give a BeamStreak a good race.[2] Described as ruggedly sleek, BeamStreaks were used by Coruscant Enforcement Services as pursuit speeders, though were also used by various militaries, such as Mandalorian Supercommandos.[1]
