Though the massive walkers used by the clone troopers formed the backbone of the Republic's armored vehicle force, there were times when the plodding transports were impractical. Soft, waterlogged terrain slowed the squat walkers considerably, requiring a greater emphasis on smaller hovering transports to provide transportation and fire support to the infantry. On worlds such as Kashyyyk and Felucia, the two-man swamp speeder fit this need. The open-air fanboat has a pair of twin laser cannons pivot mounted at the front of the craft.
虽然克隆人部队使用的巨型步行机构成了共和国装甲部队的中坚力量,但有时候这些沉重缓慢的运输工具还是不太实用。柔软潮湿的地形严重拖慢了矮胖的步行机,这就更需要小型飘浮式运输工具为步兵提供运输和火力支援了。在卡希克和费卢西亚这样的星球,双人的沼泽陆行艇满足了这一需求。在这种露天风扇机船的前端安装了一对可旋转的双管激光炮。
衍生宇宙
Developed by Aratech, the Infantry Support Platform (ISP) uses a hybrid repulsorlift/vectored fan propulsion system that allows it to hover aloft without touching the tough terrains of the planets where it is assigned. The rear-mounted turbofan can generate a thrust of up to 100 kilometers per hour, which can be reverse vectored in emergencies to provide a sudden stop. The small vehicles are primarily used for anti-infantry support, but the cannons are potent enough to crack the armor of tank droids and shielded droid gunships.
步兵支援平台(ISP)由阿拉科技研制,使用一套反重力/方向相结合的风扇推进系统,从而使它可以飘浮在空中,不接触所在行星的崎岖地形。安装在艉部的涡轮风扇发动机能产生每小时高达100公里的推力,在紧急情况下能倒转方向,实现急停。这种小型交通工具主要用于反步兵支援,但其激光炮足以打穿坦克机器人和有护盾的机器人炮艇的装甲。
幕后
Concept artist TJ Frame was tasked with developing vehicle designs when he first joined the Episode III Art Department. One of his first designs was an extrapolation of a Star Wars-style swamp boat, inspired by the fanboats used here on Earth.
概念画家TJ·弗雷姆刚加入《第三部》的艺术部门,就负责设计交通工具。他最早的设计之一是一种后来很有《星球大战》风格的沼泽艇,其灵感来源于在地球上使用的风扇机船。
