The Personnel Skiff Model IV is most commonly employed to transport Rebel personnel within the confines of the Rebellion's bases, outposts, and other installations. These open-air repulsorlift transports are slow, unwieldy, and extremely vulnerable to almost any kind of attack. As such, these craft rarely, if ever, operate in hot combat areas. Thus Personnel Skiffs are employed deep behind friendly Rebel lines, far from any chance of attack, even though they are qualified as Light Mechanized Vehicles.
The duties for these vehicles
include shuttling starfighter pilots and passengers to their ships in large
hanger bays, moving heavy equipment and supplies, and so forth. The driver
is seated in the front left corner of the skiff. Controlling the speed
and direction of the skiff is accomplished with a joystick/throttle assembly.
Compared to their commercial counterparts, Rebel skiffs tend to be slightly
more quick, and each comes equipped with a unichannel comlink.
