Koro-2 Exodrive Airspeeder (2)
Basic info
First appearance: Attack of the Clones
Relations: Desler Gizh Outworld Mobility Corporation
Summary
The Koro-2 all-environment exodrive airspeeder, also known as the Koro-2 exodrive airspeeder, was a model of dragster-style airspeeder that was manufactured and sold by the Desler Gizh Outworld Mobility Corporation. The Clawdite assassin Zam Wesell favored this type of speeder, using one of them during her work prior to the Clone Wars. The Koro-2 was an upgraded version of the original Koro-1 speeder.
The Koro-2 exodrive was an all-environment airspeeder with a twin-forked nose and a sleek, green-hued body. It was powered by an electromagnetic field, generated around its frontal mandibles, and radioactivity. The mandibles drew in surrounding air and irradiated it to produce ionization and make it conductive. Electrodes within each mandible induced strong electric currents across the gap in the center, with the newly magnetized stream propelled to the rear of the vehicle, creating thrust. The field was susceptible to power lines in urban areas that could confound the vehicle's steering, but the pilot could use this disturbance to their advantage as an extra means of traction. Thre exodrive system combined inboard repulsors with interior field generators to propel the speeder through the atmosphere. This allowed the speeder to be completely sealed from the outside environment - a handy feature on planets with heavy amounts of dust or chemicals in the air. The exodrive came at a price, however. The forward mandibles irradiated the air around them, inducing ionization and making it conductive. The airstream was then electrified and magnetically propelled to the rear of the craft, meaning the air literally dragged the Koro-2 forward. This caused radiation spill and noxious waste, so an exodrive airspeeder was not particularly useful or welcome in urban areas. Additionally, the exodrive gave off a distinctive howl as the speeder tore through the skies.
