The vehicle was developed by Kuat Drive Yards and Mekuun Corporation following a disastrous use of walkers on the agriworld of Agamar. Realizing that walkers were not the answer in such situations, the two companies developed a repulsorlift ski system, which involved a series of undulating panels that would adapt to different terrain. The vehicle was favored by Jedi General Ki-Adi-Mundi, and was used to great effect on Mygeeto and Cato Neimoidia.
