Another design popularized by the SoroSuub Corporation, the Twin-228 airspeeder is a two-person speeder that shares aesthetic similarities with other contemporary vehicle designs. The cockpit is situated toward the rear, with two sets of prongs stretching forward from the cockpit for over half of the airspeeder’s length. Two large engines at the rear of the vehicle give it a decent top speed, but like civilian airspeeders, the Twin-228 never gets up to starfighter speeds.
One advantage the Twin-228 has over other airspeeders of the time is that its two- pronged front section is easily attached to cargo carriers, allowing the vehicle to haul moderate amounts of cargo in addition to providing simple transport. This increased cargo capacity comes at the expense of comfort for the pilot and passenger, but most accept this as a necessary aspect of the airspeeder’s design. The SoroSuub Corporation sells a standard cargo pod designed specifically for use with the Twin-228, and it has proven to be one of their highest selling vehicle add-ons. As a result, the Twin-228 airspeeder has also become popular among citizens of agricultural worlds, where the vehicles are used to carry equipment from one farm to another.
