PL-90 Luxury Speeder

A large speeder intended to carry wea lthy individuals and their entourages, the Ubrikkian PL-90 Luxury Speeder is one of the most popular, if expensive, vehicles on the market. A favored vehicle of nobles and wealthy corporate agents, the PL-90 boasts four rows of seats (including individual seats for the vehicle’s pilot and a single passenger in the front). The back three rows of the landspeeder are padded bench seats, which provide passengers with the utmost in comfort and relaxation during their travels. The PL-90 makes use of advanced inertial dampening technology to provide the smoothest possible ride, keeping passengers from feeling the bumps and twitches of landspeeder travel.

Unlike other vehicles of the time, this speeder model is rarely used by military forces. It is specifically designed for luxury and not utility. Though Ubrikkian Repulsorlift Manufacturing sells many of these speeders to nobles and politicians throughout the galaxy, they do not achieve the widespread appeal that other speeders, such as the SoroSuub TT-6, have achieved. The PL-90 is somewhat slower than other speeders, giving up speed in favor of a smooth and comfort able ride. A PL-90 Luxury Speeder is a status symbol among the galactic elite, because only those who live a life of comfort can afford such an impractical vehicle. The Draay family owns several of these vehicles, using them for transportation on Coruscant.
