Intended for hauling cargo inside of and between cities, the A-A5 speeder
truck is used by the Rebel Alliance as a platoon transport. However,
unlike a Freerunner APC, it is not intended to enter combat, but that hasn't
stopped some truckers from mounting the occasional blaster rifle or even
light repeating blaster on them (a practice frowned upon by Alliance Command).
The A-A5 has been around since the Clone Wars, but earlier models (A-A1
through A-A4) have been around for almost two centuries.
