The Aquadon CAVa 400 is adaption, by the famed Design Team Beta, of the CAVw PX-10, which sees extensive service throughout the Empire. This craft entered Imperial service at least one year before the Battle of Hoth. Derived from a land-based design, the Aquadon is capable of underwater operations. Propulsion is achieved via both tracks, and mighty stern and lateral thrusters. Keeping the spirit of the CAV of transforming a single trooper into a one man attack force; the Aquadon demonstrated its incredible value in the subjugation of a small number of ocean planets. During the Kath subjugation, especially in the confines of the Karm Trenches where a large number of Rebel scum had congregated, the Aquadon was deployed extensively. Its gyroscopically stabilized cockpit, similar in nature, but only a fraction of the complexity and extensiveness as the one found on the Rebels' B-Wing starfighter. The cockpit is the most significant difference between the Aquadon and the PX-10. This feature permits the vehicle to travel at any angle relative to the ocean floor, while pilot remains upright (and thus is not distracted from his duties). In the event that the vehicle is heavily damaged, the gyro-locks release the cockpit. Unlike the B-Wing, the Aquadon's cockpit requires only a portion of the maintenance obligations. It must be noted however, that its upkeep is considerable when compared to other ground vehicles.
