Background: The KV 9T9-B Wasp, also known as the Voltec KT9 Wasp, was a Podracer designed by Keizar-Volvec prior to the Invasion of Naboo. Produced by the typically unimaginative engineers at Keizar-Volvec, the 9T9-B did not defy expectations in its blandness. The first Podracer produced by the company, the Wasp was competent and well-designed, if not aggressively average. Using a pair of KVT Series 400 fanjets, the control system for the pod was sophisticated and durable. While boasting exceptional traction and good acceleration, it didn’t slow very well and it’s turning and top speed were average at best. Despite its staidness, the 9T9-B was highly reliable, a rare quality in a Podracer. Easily maintained and modified, its hull was modular in design which made it a prime candidate for racers who enjoyed tinkering with the design.
