The 008 Heavy Landspeeder featured a heavy and brutal appearance, yet it was surprisingly fast and handled like a pilot's dream. More so, it must be stated that this craft was designed around its weapon systems. This vehicle was a first evaluation unit, and newly arrived on the planet Goroth Prime. Nonetheless, it did not take long for the Imperial light infantry pilots to brag about their latest asset. However, it must be noted that there have been occasional reports that when all of the 008's weapons are fired, it becomes momentarily unstable. This problem could possibly be attributed to the power draw-down in the lateral stabilizers. Currently (before the Battle of Yavin), Imperial procurement officers are attempting to convince Trask Industries to retrofit the same (and very sophisticated) microtronics found in the forward weapons fire control into the aft blasters. |
