The Command Airspeeder is the ground control for all of the main Imperial base. From it all ground forces are directed and the orbiting satellite is controlled. The satellite is linked via the computer screen that the co-pilot of the Airspeeder operates. The satellite itself is in stationary orbit directly above the main base and when called on it can both act as a communication tool or a powerful laser. Because of the obvious security risk, the Command Airspeeder has very powerful encryption programs to ensure no one else can access the satellite. The speeder itself has several weapons for defense, including a main cannon, missile launchers, ion cannons, and pulse energy cannons. The main laser can rotate 360 degrees, while the other weapons are fixed position. On the front of the Airspeeder is a powerful searchlight that can angle up and down. Thrust comes from two ion engines in back, while the primary lift comes from two rotors. While parked the main rotors stop and two small, windless thrusters engage, lowering it to only about .3 meters off the ground. The top speed of this craft under normal circumstances is around 100-120 kilometers per hour, although that speed is rarely used. Maximum flight ceiling is 7-8 meters, beyond that the weight is too much. NOTE: There are is a hard to see part on this craft that are vital to it's construction. A special piece 4 bricks long and 2.3 bricks high is used to connect the cockpit to the main body. With it the ship never falls apart!
