Desert Skiff

Speed: Best
Acceleration: Good
Climb: Good
Turn: Good

Generally used as transports for passengers and cargo, desert skiffs are simple repulsorlift platforms that float on antigravity fields. Skiffs are often pressed into passenger duty, especially on poor frontier worlds that can't afford better-suited vehicles. These surface utility vehicles are named after Banthas (hardy work beasts found throughout the galaxy).

It should also be mentioned that Jabba the Hutt employs a small fleet of Ubrikkian Bantha-II cargo skiffs as companion vehicles for his excellency's sail barge.

Vehicle Tips

Vehicles can be called by opening your datapad and clicking to the "Data" tab. Double-click the vehicle icon to call it up for use.
You can drag and drop vehicle icons from your datapad to your toolbar. The advantage of using your tool bar is that it sets your default so that you can hop on your vehicle just by clicking it.

Finding and Purchasing Vehicle deeds

Finding vehicle deeds on bazaars:

Go to a bazaar terminal and access the galactic market

Select "This Region" for vehicles immediately available (When you purchase the deed, it will be put in your inventory automatically).
Select "This Planet" or "Entire Galaxy" to see what is available on the planet and the galaxy. These bazaar searches may require you to travel to a different location to pick up the deed but you may find the vehicle you are searching for cheaper elsewhere.

Double click "Deed" on the list of main categories
Scroll down to the category for vehicles and click on it
Be sure to press the "refresh button"

Finding vehicle deeds on vendors:

Go to a bazaar terminal and access the galactic market
Click on the tab at the top that says "Vendor Location"

Select "This Planet" or "Entire Galaxy" depending on how far you want to travel and how many choices you want. "This Region" will not return any vendor options so use the planet or galaxy search.
Double click "Deed" on the list of main categories
Scroll down to the category for vehicles and click on it
Be sure to press the "refresh button"
Click the "Create Waypoint" button when you find the vehicle you would like to purchase

Vendor Waypoint Tips:

Waypoints to vendors on planets different than the one you are on won't be visible if you have the "show only waypoints on this planet" option checked.
Double click vendor waypoints to activate them once you arrive on the planet that the vendor is located.
