7260 Wookiee Catamaran is a Revenge of the Sith set released in 2005. It included Yoda, one Wookiee Warrior, Chewbacca, Luminara Unduli, and two Siege Battalion Trooper minifigures. It also included a Swamp Speeder, also known as an Infantry Support Platform (ISP). It has 376 pieces.
== Description ==
The catamaran has a Technic missile launcher, a bomb-dropping mechanism, and a rotating propeller. The Swamp Speeder (ISP) includes movable blaster cannons and a rotating engine assembly. The catamaran is mainly composed of brown pieces, representing the wood used by the Wookiees to build their vehicles and weapons, while the Republic Swamp Speeder is mainly light grey and dark red.
== Background ==
The Oevvaor jet catamaran was a Wookiee flying contraption seen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith during the Battle of Kashyyyk. A combination of Wookie and Republic technologies defeated the Separatists. The catamaran was named after the Oevvaor, a predator of the Wookies. Originally made for fishing and sports, it was pressed into service during the Battle of Kashyyyk. Rudders in the front of the craft helped it steer in air or water. 
== Notes ==
