STAP

STAP/Original (Single Trooper Aerial Platform)
Basic Info
Type:	Scout Speeder Bike
Affiliation:	Separatist Alliance Trade Federation
Ship Details
Crew:	1 Pilot

The STAP, or Single Trooper Aerial Platform, is a small repulsorlift Air-hook that appeared in Star Wars: Battlefront and its sequel. In the first game, it is a vehicle that units of the Trade Federation and CIS can use, while in the sequel it is exclusive to the Separatist classes. Each STAP is equipped with a pair of twin blasters which are great for killing infantry with. They are not rugged, but are fast and maneuverable, yet the occupant can be sniped or disintegrated by a missile hit along with the vehicle itself.

They are not as fast as the 74-Z Speeder Bike or the BARC Speeder, but they can strafe from side to side. This gives it a distinct advantage in combat against troops, and a large disadvantage during hit and run attacks. It can only be repaired by an engineer class.

Trivia

• According to Episode 1 Canon, the radiation given off by the turbine of the STAP will make it uncomfortable for living beings, but in Battlefront, about any organic can ride it.
• Due to its upright shape, a STAP is better than other vehicles to go over high obstacles.
