This craft is a heavily armed and armored land speeder that is
designed for the exploration and opening of hostile jungle or
rainforest regions. Primeworld was forced to cease production of
this heavily armed version by the Empire, who was concerned about
it's possible military applications. The Empire's fears proved
well grounded, as a fleet of seventeen Rebel Speeders of this type
plowed through the great Gathoorn southern forests and flattened
the Imperial Starship Development Labs on Gathoorn. Primeworld was
forced to pay for the damage to the labs (3.27 trillion credits),
and many of the directors were executed after Primeworld went
bankrupt without paying more than a fraction of that sum.
The rear blaster cannon is walker scale, and was designed to
drive back truly monstrous creatures (Rancor and their ilk) It has
also proved useful in attacking other speeders, and enemy walkers.
The Cutting laser is of quite high power, to enable the Anaconda to
slice through even the thickest undergrowth. It also enables the
Anaconda slice through blast doors and armoring. Finally, the
Anaconda has a fairly large cargo bay, to enable it to carry the
supplies necessary for extended expeditions. This space can be
filled with shield generators, a more powerful power plant, a
second heavy blaster cannon, whatever.
All in all, the Anaconda is a highly effective combat vehicle,
and several of the engineers responsible for the speeder were later
employed by the New Republic's secret Rendilli Aeronautics, and
it's younger brother, Rendilli Practical Design (RPD is a
relatively new offshoot of Rendilli Astronautics. RPD's charter is
to produce powerful and inexpensive vehicles of many types,
including walkers, speeders, and starfighters, but not including
anything on a larger scale).
