| - The 008 heavy landspeeder was a combat landspeeder employed by the Galactic Empire.
- As of the Battle of Yavin the 008 Heavy Landspeeder was a new acquisition for the Imperial Army and was still undergoing test deployments on planets including Goroth Prime. Being a combat design the 008 was sold exclusively to militaries (namely the Empire's) but, as with much technology, there were less-than-legal means of purchasing them. Fast and maneuverable it was a useful addition to the Imperial arsenal. However, the 008 suffered one design flaw that was detrimental in battle: simultaneous firing of all its weapons caused the craft to become unstable. This was believed due to the twin aft cannons which lacked the excellent microtronics of the forward counterparts being forced to divert power from the lateral stabilizers.

| - The 008 heavy landspeeder was a combat landspeeder employed by the Galactic Empire.
- As of the Battle of Yavin the 008 Heavy Landspeeder was a new acquisition for the Imperial Army and was still undergoing test deployments on planets including Goroth Prime. Being a combat design the 008 was sold exclusively to militaries (namely the Empire's) but, as with much technology, there were less-than-legal means of purchasing them. Fast and maneuverable it was a useful addition to the Imperial arsenal. However, the 008 suffered one design flaw that was detrimental in battle: simultaneous firing of all its weapons caused the craft to become unstable. This was believed due to the twin aft cannons which lacked the excellent microtronics of the forward counterparts being forced to divert power from the lateral stabilizers. Each speeder was eight meters in length with a minimum crew of one pilot and one gunner. Standard armament included two rear-mounted fire-linked medium blasters and a forward fire-linked double laser cannon. Speeds of 315 kilometers per hour were possible and a flight ceiling of three meters.
