    The SV-50 Swift-Strike Speeder sees extensive deployment on Imperial-controlled Mid-Rim worlds where the Empire, Imperial splinter factions and the New Republic joust for control. This vehicle was in Imperial service at least after the Battle of Endor. It is considered to be one of Venaari Enterprises' greatest sales successes and contributions to the Empire. Capable of rapidly transporting a squad where ever they are required, while at the same time being able to support them with sufficient firepower, the SV-50 is both versatile and an incredibly reliable attack vehicle. Standard features include a roof hatch and nav terminal. Mounted on the aft roof of the vehicle is its heavy blaster cannon. The gunner who mans it, sits in a niche. This position, however, is exposed to the elements. The SV-50's viewshield does suffer from one notable weakness. Rapid heat expansion caused running the vehicle through an inferno causes it to blow out.
