The Shadow Trooper Speeder was a combat speeder used by Imperial Shadow Troopers. It was armed with two wing-mounted missile launchers and two removable blasters mounted in rear facing positions. The Shadow Troopers, along with Emperor's Shadow Guards, drove the speeders on missions to defend the Empire.
Characteristics
The speeder had a sloped front, forward vanes, and two configurable wings at the back.
The Imperial Shadow Trooper Speeder could hold up to two people though could function with only one person (it would only lack the rear mounted blasters).
Like most speeders the gunner and pilot seats were unprotected so the crew were vulnerable to enemy fire.
Behind the scenes
The Shadow Trooper Speeder was a LEGO model from the 75079 Shadow Troopers set from 2015. It then appeared in the 2016 video game LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Rebel.
