The Trade Federation STAP is a lightweight and agile vehicle designed for use by Trade Federation Battle Droids. They are typically dispatched ahead of the main army or to support main battle force actions by conducting reconnaissance, aerial attack and anti-personnel hunting missions. The STAPs are similar in design to individual repulsorlift "airhooks" used for civilian and military purposes elsewhere in the Galaxy. This extremely agile hovercraft can move swiftly through most environments including dense forests and swamps. Its ability to traverse through dense vegetation such as forests that would stop larger vehicles is brought about due to the STAP's minimal structure. As its minimal structure brings that advantage, it also leaves the piloting Battle Droid exposed to enemy fire. The STAPs are well equipped to deal with small targets, which allows Battle Droids to ferret out resistance, deal with fleeing civilians and destroy opposition with its twin blaster cannons. High-voltage energy cells power the STAP for limited deployment sorties, after which they must return to be recharged. The power cell housing is located just below the twin drive turbines of the STAP. While an antigravity projector is located at the bottom.
