BARC speeder / Legends The Biker Advanced Recon Commando ( BARC ) speeder was a powerful speeder bike model used by the Grand Army of the Republic as a reconnaissance craft during the Clone Wars . It was manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company . A civilian variant , Police BARC speeder also saw extensive use on Coruscant . Characteristics . Younger than the 74 - Z speeder bike employed at the Second Battle of Dorin , it was actually more closely designed after the Ripper manufactured by Aratech ' s competitor , Mobquet . Originally designed for exclusive use by the Advanced Recon Commandos , the vehicle proved so effective that it came to be used by the rest of the army . These speeders were painted in the red - and - white colors of the Galactic Republic . They were powered by repulsors and a turbine engine mounted on the frontal prong . The speeder was controlled via twin steering vanes atop the bike , and pedals fitted below . Two blaster cannons protruded from the bottom of the forward prong , while two more were fixed on either side of the vehicle ' s rear . The speeders were capable of flying at high altitudes and were sometimes used as escorts for LAAT / i gunships carrying important passengers . History . Around the second year of the Clone Wars , a variant of the BARC speeder was used by Coruscant police droids . The only apparent differences from its military counterpart was that it had a dark blue / gray paint job and had flashing red and blue lights near the aft thrusters and stern thruster . Jedi Master Tera Sinube and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano rode a police droid ' s BARC speeder to a train station to catch Ione Marcy and Cassie Cryar , following the signal of a homing beacon placed on Marcy ' s back by Sinube . Another time when police droids rode these was when it appeared that Satine Kryze had murdered Davu Golec , and these were used to follow a civilian airspeeder , which the clone shock troopers thought she was escaping in . Jedi Master Shaak Ti once flew a BARC speeder during the initial stages of the Battle of Coruscant , using it to transport her and Stass Allie to the Supreme Chancellor ' s residence to see Palpatine to safety . In the aftermath of the Siege of Saleucami , Commander Neyo and his wingman , astride BARC speeders , executed Order 66 by firing the bike ' s blaster cannons on Jedi Knight Stass Allie ' s speeder , killing her . During a mission to capture Shu Mai , President e of the Commerce Guild on Felucia , Aayla Secura and Clone Commander Bly were assisted in the assault on the Presidente ' s headquarters by a squad of 327th Star Corps troopers riding BARC speeders . Aided by ARC - 170 starfighters , these elite biker troops defeated Vulture droids during the battle . Troops under the command of Jedi Generals Yoda , Luminara Unduli , and Quinlan Vos later rode their speeders into combat on Kashyyyk , moving alongside Infantry Support Platforms and HAVw A6 Juggernauts . Following the war , BARC speeders continued to be used by the early Galactic Empire , although they were seemingly phased out afterward , and replaced with the older 74 - Zs for military use . On Kashyyyk , many speeders were left behind , following the formation of the Empire , and were used during the Galactic Civil War by native Wookiees and visiting pilots . Some others , also obtained from Kashyyyk , came into the hands of some spacers for personal use . During the Galactic Civil War , BARC speeders were also utilized by various groups , although they often required a deed as proof of ownership . Several of these BARC speeders were also given custom paint jobs . Besides civilian use , the BARC speeders also had two variants , one for Galactic Empire personnel use , and another for Rebel Alliance personnel usage . Regardless of the faction , both require their members to be Colonel - class before purchasing one . Behind the scenes . The BARC design was developed using the precedent of the Imperial speeder bikes in " " . Though they are showcased on Saleucami , they can also be seen on Coruscant and were designed for use in the forests of Kashyyyk . Initially , Stass Allie was to be riding a BARC speeder , but to provide a greater link to the original trilogy , a more recognizable 74 - Z speeder bike was used instead . Five BARC speeders have been released by LEGO , one in 2005 , two in 2011 , one in 2013 , and one in early 2014 . The first one was featured in the Clone Turbo Tank . The second and variant comes in two other sets ( Clone Trooper Battle Pack and Battle for Geonosis ) . The fourth variant is featured in a set with a Confederate speeder , with the sidecar attached . And the fifth variant is featured with the set Battle on Saleucami , which has a new spring - loaded firing mechanism .
