Land Speeders

The Land Speeder is a light anti-gravity vehicle which serves as the primary reconnaissance, scouting, resupply and fast attack vehicle of the Imperium of Man’s Adeptus Astartes. The Land Speeder is based on a Standard Template Construct (STC) design that was recovered early in the 31st Millennium by the Techno-Archaeologist Arkhan Land during his famous expedition into the Librarius Omnis on Mars. Land’s Speeder, later known simply as the Land Speeder, was soon widely produced and used throughout the Imperium of Man by the various Space Marine Legions and the Imperial Army. The use of Land Speeders by the Imperial Army’s successor, the Astra Militarum, was gradually phased out, as over the millennia since the Land Speeder’s rediscovery the plasma and anti-gravity technologies required to manufacture it became increasingly rare.
