Hoversled/Legends

A hoversled, hoverpod, sleigh, float sled, gravsled, or repulsor sled, was any type of hovering repulsorcraft vehicle used for the transportation of personnel and equipment, similar in design to a speeder bike, but optimized for carrying large quantities of cargo rather than an emphasis on speed.
==History==
Hoversleds were commonly used commercially, though the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Empire also made use of them.
Another variant, the repulsorsled, was often used by Hutts as some members of the species had considerable difficulty moving around unaided. Older Hutts, such as Aruk, would increasingly rely on their repulsorsleds as they grew increasingly corpulent. One Hutt used such a vehicle to transport himself and several slaves purchased from Clan Secura, including young Aayla Secura.
The Platoon Attack Craft was a type of hoversled, and was used by to transport battle droidsto the battlefield.
Some hoversleds, often called gravsleds or grav pellets, were simple, flat vehicles used to move bulky and heavy materials; such as containers of spice in the slave-labor spice-processing plants of Nar Shaddaa prior to the Clone Wars.
Among the advantages of hoversleds over traditional sleds were that they encountered no resistance from the ground friction and could transport cargo easily, safely, and inexpensively over short distances.
In late 3 ABY, the bounty hunter Boba Fett, while attempting to deliver the carbonite-frozen Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine, used a hoversled as a diversion to draw away several competing bounty hunters who were attempting to steal Solo and his accompanying reward away from Fett. The hunters were dismayed to discover that Solo's carbonite slab was not atop the hoversled, as they originally believed.
Some farmers on Sulon used gravsleds for transportation around the countryside.Dark Forces: Rebel Agent
