U-LAV

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Rebellion Era Campaign Guide

Sienar Ultra-Light Assault Vehicles are small, fast, and extremely agile Landspeeders designed for rapid deployment and quick, slashing strikes across the battlefield. The U-LAV's size makes it ideal for deployment from drop ships or large transports. During the Clone Wars, U-LAVs are highly effective at piercing the lines of CIS Droid units. Zipping through the Droid formations, the U-LAV's Gunner has ample targets for the Double Laser Cannon and, after breaking through the line, the advantage of the more powerful rear-facing Blaster Cannon.

The early Empire regularly used U-LAVs, but soon replaced them with larger and more powerful Vehicles with forward-facing primary weapons. Most U-LAVs were left forgotten in Imperial surplus depots, too small to attract buyers. Decades later, a Rebel commando raid steals a huge fleet of U-LAVs from a minimally guarded Imperial storage facility on Hiffis. Rebel technicians make a few updates and modifications- including the addition of light shielding- and put the durable old Vehicles into service throughout the galaxy. Though hindered by their rear-facing weaponry and half-meter flight ceiling, the U-LAVs are a welcome addition to the Vehicle-starved Rebels.
