The Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP) is a small repulsorlift vehicle flown by the battle droids of the Trade Federation to provide light air support. It carries a pair of blasters for armament.
Droid-specific design
The STAP does not have an enclosed cockpit, and exhaust from the vehicles engines blows directly on the legs of the pilot. While these features were not problems for the Trade Federation's battle droids, a living humanoid pilot trying to operate a STAP would be blinded by wind and quickly suffer severed leg burns.
