Cloud cars are medium and high-atmosphere vehicles which utilize a combination of repulsorlift and ion engine propulsion for speed. They are capable of achieving speeds in excess of 1500 kilometers per hour, with cruising heights of over 100 kilometers.
On standard worlds, they are used as high-altitude patrol and defense craft, keeping incoming ships and super-atmospheric transports in appropriate landing corridors. These are few private owners of cloud cars because of their expense and limited utility.
The major manufacturer of cloud cars is Bespin Motors. Due to Cloud City's unusual location, in the heart of a gas giant, cloud cars are common transportation there, since standard repulsorlift vehicles don't have the appropriate altitude range to be of use on the planet. Bespin Motors has designed a large number of pleasure craft, air taxis, and other personal vehicles for use on Bespin, although they are of very limited popularity on other worlds. |
