Comrand Ltd. is a small company, with ties to the rebellion. Known for their production of amphibious mining and transportation craft, the River Spirit is one of the few combat units that they produce. Made in limited runs, and in the utmost secrecy, the Rebellion found these ships to be of great use against the imperial war machine. After the battle of Endor, Comrand was absorbed into RPD. The River Spirit is still produced in the exact same form as the "RPD Delta Snakefish", though RPD engineers are working on a more advanced second generation craft with the same combat applications as the Snakefish and the Depthrunner.

The River Spirit is not truly a submarine warcraft, as evidenced by it's poor movement and maneuverability in that medium, as well as it's total lack of weapons capable of firing underwater. However, it's ability to travel underwater gives it a great advantage over many other attack landspeeders. In a typical mission, River Spirits will travel near riverbeds, evading enemy patrols by quick runs into the water. They also wait in pools or lakes near combat areas, rising up when a target is sighted, and then dropping down again before they can be shot at. The River Spirit is a well loved, combat tested ship, and few that own one of these craft are willing to sell them.
