Energy coupler/Legends

Energy coupler linking cargo to a Starhawk speeder bike

Energy couplers were technological devices with a variety of uses. Energy couplers could be used to provide power to energy containment systems, such as the cage Captain Grizzid used to transport a rancor to Tatooine. The cage, located in his light freighter's cargo hold, had energy couplers that were rigged to feed triple the amount of power to containment system.

Energy couplers could also be used to attach cargo to vehicles. Some Starhawk speeder bikes were equipped with energy couplers. Turk Falso and a group of Weequay pirates used speeder bikes with energy couplers to transport spice they stole from the Galactic Republic.
