enough people asked for the stuff (read: one person asked for this stuff), so here I am posting it. These two vehicles were created and put out by Yabudabud YubYadub, a prominent citizen of Tattoine. Yabudabud is eccentric as anyone I've ever met, he can't speak with proper grammar, (as he says himself: "Ah jist dee-sign de ships ann stuff. What do I got ta tink about de rooles of proper-ous speakin ann stuff like dat?") Despite his outward stupidity, Yabudabud is a technological savant. He subscribes to all of the latest technological journals, and there isn't ever a concept in them that he can't grasp. More often than not, Yabudabud can keep two steps ahead of corporate technology. "I don't got to deal wit da red tape -- you know, da berr-yokrassee. berr-okkasee. Oh, da hell wid it." (ed. note: bureaucracy) He staffs his automated shipyard factory with less than thirty people, and his design team (of which he is the only contributing member, the others are "jest beein schooled") numbers only four. Despite all of this, his comparatively tiny business easily matches and sometimes surpasses that of the higher corporations.

They are worth every fraction of a credit, though. Yabudabud YubYadub, the founder of the company and designer of the dropship, who incidentally personally oversees the construction of each and every dropship built, becomes a grandfather to anyone who ever buys one. He sends them holiday greetings cards, gifts on their birthdays, and continually nags them about how they "Never visit, never call. Youse probably ain't even gonna miss me when I's dead. "He's a super nice guy, and his dropships are lifetime guaranteed, barring severe misuse or running in to something like a Star Destroyer. YYY is based in the Sand Dunes of Tattooine, quite far from civilization and all to close to the Tusken Raiders, but Yabudabud doesn't worry. After all, as he says himself, "I defend my place wit da same guns dat I put on my ships. What do I got to worry?" On top of that, the employees' and his living quarters are built into the cargo hold of one of his dropships, which is in turn built into his complex. If anything goes terribly wrong, "jest run to yer bed, getcherself dam cozy under de cuvvers, and wait for ol' Yabudabud to set tings right." He's destroyed his outer house several times in emergency takeoffs, but following that, has gleefully destroyed the raiding parties from his all-too-well armored dropship. Speaking of the armor on the dropship, Yabudabud claims that one could drive the dropships into mountains without hurting them too much, and he's probably not too far from truth. Cost: 250000 Availability: 4, no restrictions. Yabudabud works outside the law. Here's a bad ascii drawing of it... The real design is just a bit sleeker, with narrow windows along the side. The top protrusion is where the pilots/crew sit, the two funny looking things on the side are 2 of the 4 double laser cannons (they're pointed downward), and the ugly thing behind the cabin is the turreted ion cannon. ________ \\_ / |__| \_\ ______/___\__________/__________] | __ __ \= =] / \ / \ | =] \||/ \||/ / ---------------------------------- \|/ \|/ ---- ---- YubYadub Yards YS-2 "Speedy Speeder" Type : personal pleasure speeder Scale : speeder Length : 3.3 Meters Skill : Repulsorlift Operations: YYY YS-2 Crew : 1 Crew Skill : varies Passengers : 1 Cargo Cap. : 200kg Cover : light Alt.

Antique collectors prize it, and the price reflects this. YubYadub Yards put out one of the best speeders one could ever hope for. The speeder was incredibly safe for its time, complete with emergency safety foam (built in, no extra cost!), but it was fast enough to still be a hot machine. Tears come to peoples eyes when they think of the good old YS-2 Speedy Speeder. "Times were different then," they say, wiping a tear from their eye. "Back when I was your age, and I was dating Myrtle Hargskopper, we used to go to Anchorhead on my Speedy Speeder, her right behind me --they had a bar that would serve underage clients, it was probably half their business. I got into a fight there once, but that's another story -- we'd get ice cream sodas and whatnot. Blah, Blah, Blah." Although the move listed is only 200kmh, many owners of YS-2s would upgrade their speeders to double that, and modern patch technology allows any YS-2 owner to optimize the maneuverability of his speeder (rumors are heard of a YS-2 with 5D maneuverability!). The Speeder is rather inefficient, but it is very environmentally safe. Extra Fuel cells can also be stored in the cargo space without affecting performance dramatically. Well, if you like it, post me. But if you dont like it, remember. I'm just a protocol Droid (really!) McMike
