A quick way to get around, but not very efficient at fighting. Speeder bikes are armed with just a rapid-fire blaster, but they can also run over unsuspecting infantry if they're moving fast enough. One big downside of this vehicle is that it will take massive damage from running into anything heavier than a Wookie (the faster your speed, the more damage you take). This is especially frustrating on Endor, as there are hundreds of trees that you must avoid running into just to survive your ride. Speeder bikes have an exceedingly limited jump function, and very little strafing ability. Tiny armor means that this craft can be shot down by small arms, not just rockets and grenades; also, the fact that your body is completely exposed to any fire at all while riding these mean that you have to constantly watch out for infantry.

===IFT-X Hovertank===
===IFT-X Hovertank===


The IFT-X is the Republic's sole non-walker ground vehicle (excluding the BARC). The tank hovers, but watch out—it will still trigger mines. The IFT-X has two positions, driver and gunner. The driver operates a dual laser cannon for use against infantry and a splash-damaging concussion missile launcher for use against both infantry and armor. The gunner sits atop the tank (leaving him vulnerable to outside fire) and fires a beam cannon that is very efficient at cutting down infantry. This tank also has the ability to run over infantry when using the speed boost (normally, any infantry in front of a moving tank will just get pushed along with the tank).

The IFT-X Hover Tank is one of the most useful and versatile vehicle in game and is well liked.

===Hailfire Droid===
===Hailfire Droid===
A whimsical wheeled machine that trundles along the Geonosian landscape unleashing its ineptitude upon those that pilot it. Armed with a salvo of wildly acrobatic purple missiles that are useless at anything but point-blank range, and a chain gun to eat infantry with. Can also run over infantry, and takes a fait bit of damage if it sprints into anything.

Like the speeder bike, but slower, with a better strafe and firepower. Takes less damage from running into things and floats a bit higher. Found on Kashyyyk.
