The Magnaline 3000 was an airbus model produced by GoCorp, commonly used on Coruscant in shuttle routes during the final years of the Galactic Republic.
Characteristics[]
The Magnaline 3000 was fourteen meters long, and had a maximum speed of 200 kph. The airbus was propelled by a powerful rear thruster, though also operated on six repulsorlift drives. Within, the airbus could accommodate thirty-two passengers, with information screens allowing them to view travel times and routes through Galactic City, as well as various forms of entertainment. The control cabin was located at the rear of the airbus, with the pilot riding high above the passengers.
History[]
Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala, disguised as a young married couple from the Thousand Moons system, traveled in a Magnaline 3000 to board the Jendirian Valley, bound for Naboo.
The Magnaline 3000 was similar in appearance to the so-called Jedi shuttlebus, commonly used, as the name implied, by Jedi Knights, as well as members of the Galactic Senate.
