BARC speeder
The Biker Advanced Recon Commando (BARC) speeder was a speeder bike manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company.[1] Based on Mobquet Swoops and Speeders' design of the Ripper speeder bike,[3] the BARC speeder was used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars, after being championed by Clone Commanders Bacara and Neyo.[14] The BARC speeder was the predecessor to the 74-Z speeder bike,[15] which also was designed for the Republic and saw use since the start of the war.[16]
A BARC speeder
The BARC speeder gave the ordinary clone trooper fighting on foot increased speed, mobility, and firepower. Used primarily as a scouting and escort vehicle, it was readily adaptable for various environments and missions. With the addition of optional support struts, a sidecar or stretcher could be attached to its side.[2] A BARC speeder variant known as the RapidResponse police speeder[17] was also available for use by civilian police, specifically the Coruscant Security Force, to patrol the Galactic Republic capital planet of Coruscant.[8]
Near the end of the Clone Wars, Neyo and a clone trooper of the 91st Mobile Reconnaissance Corps rode BARC Speeders during the Siege of Saleucami. Order 66 was issued, and Neyo and his wingman shot Stass Allie's 74-Z speeder, which crashed, killing Allie.[5]
