- "Echo Base's rebels used Incom T-47 airspeeders for atmospheric patrols, but had a devilishly difficult time adapting them to Hoth's climate. The modified T-47's were known in the rebel ranks as snowspeeders."
- ―The Galactic Explorer's Guide
The snowspeeder was a type of T-47 airspeeder manufactured by Incom Corporation and modified by the Rebel Alliance.[1] When the Galactic Empire attacked Echo Base, snowspeeders saw use during the Battle of Hoth, where the T-47s attempted to take down the Empire's All Terrain Armored Transports with their tow cables.[3]
Behind the scenes
The snowspeeders first appeared in the Star Wars saga film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.[3]
