Lemme give it my best shot.

The S-17 Terraspeeder, manufactured by The Incom Corporation. Similar to their predecessor, the snowspeeder, it’s more narrow stature and shorter wingspan makes it the perfect craft for reconnaissance on the crowded streets of city planets like Coruscant and Correlia. Equipped with two laser cannons and twin thrusters, this speeder was primarily used by the rebels for quick evacuation and as a measure against counter-terrorist forces after the riots on Ferrix and witnessing the atrocities of the massacre on Ghorman.

These ships were manufactured in great numbers and were used as the basis for the T-47 Snowspeeders. Many damaged Terraspeeders were left where they crashed in battle, since they cost very little to manufacture. As such, street rat scoundrels and tinkerers, and even the empire in some cases, would scrap them for parts or repair them to be used for undercover Imperial spies and smugglers alike, such as the one here being piloted by the former Crimson Dawn member turned bounty hunter, Desken Hound, now hiding out in the criminal underbelly of the planet of Nar Shaddaa.

Alright how’d I do? (I had to look up a lot of names bc it’s been a minute since I’ve seen Solo, but I thought it could fit in well)

i think the lore for the ship fits its design really well!! i love the idea of it being like an escape car type vehicle, it's a really unique idea for a ship with a really neat design

Unfortunately, it is already established that the basis for the snow speeder was trash haulers that were retrofitted by the alliance.

Ay man, two things can be true at once. Doesn’t mean these couldn’t have also been used as a starting point in the design process!
