Surface utility vehicles used for the transport of passengers and cargo,
skiffs are simple
repulsorlift platforms that float about on antigravity fields.
Jabba the Hutt used 9.2-meter long cargo skiffs as companion craft to his massive
sail barge. A single pilot stands at a tiller's position at the rear of the skiff and guides the vehicle by manipulating two dish-shaped steering vanes on each side of the craft. To assist in cargo handling, the skiff features loading planks and a powerful electromagnet for lifting heavy loads aboard.
