- The Storm Skimmer Patrol Sled is a two-man patrol vehicle originally intended for use by the Imperial scout troopers. Armed with only a heavy repeating blaster, the Storm Skimmers are focused towards speed and stealth, like the 74-Z's. However, unlike the speeder bikes, they have more armor and protection against enemy fire, and are intended for rapid deployment against enemy personnel. Later models, post-Endor, have an extra heavy repeating blaster. Maximum altitude for the Skimmers is between 11 and 15 km from ground level.

Later models, post-Endor, have an extra heavy repeating blaster. Maximum altitude for the Skimmers is between 11 and 15 km from ground level. The Storm Skimmers gained in popularity around the Battle of Yavin, but were eventually replaced by the older 74-Z speeder bike. Still, many were kept in backorder as all-purpose vehicles and would see many years of service, long into the Galactic Civil War. Although most Skimmers served the Empire, some were captured and used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. However, non-Imperial users were forced to wear pressure-suits to achieve maximum altitudes, while stormtrooper armor provided a sealed environment for their protection.
