Background: The F-143 emergency speeder was a fire suppression ship manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering. Designed to provide essential disaster relief, these speeders carried several tanks of fire-fighting solutions such as water, foam spray, fire retardant agents, and miscellaneous fuel-specific mixtures on the ship’s undercarriage. These fire-fighting solutions were released through pressurized dousers mounted to the vehicle’s four wingtips. A tractor beam projector was fitted below the heat-resistant cockpit to shift debris during emergencies, and specialized repulsorlifts on the exterior assisted the ship’s maneuvering thrusters in navigating debris fields. There were also flashing emergency lights and a siren mounted on the hull to warn passerby ships of the emergency.
The interior was equipped with a medical bay where crewmembers could treat serious injuries quickly and space for multiple firefighters and rescue personnel. A forward airlock bay had several antigrav life jackets and emergency space suits stored and ready to be dropped immediately.
