This article is about the New Republic speeder transport. For similarly named craft, see V-wing.
In the fictional Star Wars galaxy, the V-wing Speeder Transport was a vehicle used by the New Republic to deploy the V-wing Airspeeders into battle. Like the V-wing Airspeeder, the V-wing Speeder Transport was manufactured by Slayn & Korpil. It could carry 4 V-wing Airspeeders under its arching wings and was 20 metres long. Similar in shape to the V-wing Airspeeder though larger in size. The V-wing Speeder Transport was unarmed and thus had to depend on its escort starfighters such as the X-wings and E-wings or on its V-wings when manned, could defend their transport. During the Battle of Calamari , the V-wing Speeder Transport saw action against the Reborn Emperor Palpatine's World Devastators, Droid TIE Fighters and Wavewalkers. The V-wing Speeder Transports could be deployed from space but required a mothership such as the Star Destroyer Emancipator which was liberated by the New Republic. A specialized version of the V-wing Speeder Transport was also manufactured by Slayn & Korpil, the Model B which could ferry 6 V-wing Airspeeders.
