- "It is a secret. This is no Separatist ship."
- ―TR-350 after his STAPs were destroyed by the Republic.
The Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP) was an agile flying machine used by Confederacy of Independent Systems B1-series battle droids during the Clone Wars era. STAPs were first used by the Trade Federation during the Pre-Clone Wars era and were painted brown. When the Trade Federation joined to Confederacy, STAPs were painted blue, white, and grey for the CIS Armed Forces,
Characteristics[]
Weapons and Design[]
Single Trooper Aerial Platforms are similar in design to personal repulsorlift airhooks used for both civilian and military purposes. Designed to travel fast, the STAP's only weapon is a twin blaster cannon connected to it. High voltage energy cells powered the machine.
Crew[]
Each STAP is piloted by a single person/droid that stood on a long foot panel, gripping a pair of handles that controlled its weapons and are used to pilot the craft. B1-series battle droids usually piloted STAPs but in some cases, OOM Security Battle Droids, BX-series droid commandos or IG-100 MagnaGuards could pilot them. STAPs utilized by the Trade Federation prior to the Clone Wars tended to be brown in color; Separatist STAPs are predominantly blue with white triangular markings.
