The Imperial Sniper was a Repulsorlift craft piloted by one person. It featured a large open seat, two blaster cannons and a grappling claw.[1]
Although it was later used by the Galactic Empire, this vehicle was already used on Tammuz-an in 15 BBY, where it was involved in a scuffle between the Ko Zatec-Cha gang and Mon Julpa's forces.[2] It eventually saw use on Endor in 4 ABY.[3]
Behind the scenes
This vehicle was released by Kenner in 1985 as part of the Body-Rigs series.[1]
