CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
When stationed on Hoth, the Rebel Alliance modified T-47 airspeeders to become snowspeeders, these fast flying conveyances for patrol and defense of their hidden base flown by Rebel Pilots with a pilot and rear-facing tailgunner. It took some doing to keep the crippling cold from permanently grounding their airforce, but Rebel ingenuity overcame the relentless Hoth elements. (Source)
