The Rebel Alliance has always been about making the most of what they have—and no unit embodies that scrappy spirit better than the A-A5 Speeder Truck! Whether you’re fielding heroic rebels or cunning mercs from the Shadow Collective, this rugged ride delivers troops, blocks shots, and makes a bold statement on the battlefield.
“You’re always telling me to take risks. Seemed like the most irresponsible thing I could do.” – Shriv Suurgav to General Calrissian
🔍 Let’s Take a Closer Look at What Makes the A-A5 So Great:
🚚 Battlefield Utility Meets Gritty Durability
Single-miniature “Heavy” unit for Rebel and Shadow Collective armies.
Armor 5 & 8 Health – It’s a beast when it comes to soaking up hits.
Large base footprint means it can:
Shield advancing troops.
Contest (or double-contest!) objectives with ease.
🎯 Tactical Troop Delivery
Comes with the Transport keyword—bring your nastiest units straight to the front lines!
Deploy Fleet Troopers, Rebel Sleeper Cells, or Black Sun Enforcers into the thick of it.
Perfect for shock tactics and objective grabs.
Reposition and Hover: Ground improve mobility across terrain.
Weak Point 2: Rear – just keep your tail safe!
