- Cargo Capacity: Very Small
- Astromech Slot - As the OLYMPUS was commissioned by BB-610, the speeder comes pre-installed with a socket for astromechs. This, in turn, allows the droid to perform repairs and communicate with the OLYMPUS' computer while the vehicle is in motion, as he would with a starship.
- Main Engine Thrusters - Attached to the vehicle's rear are thrusters that, when fully charged, grant the OLYMPUS an increased - albeit brief - burst in movement speed.
- Self-Correcting Bumpers - To mitigate forward damage in the event of a crash, the OLYMPUS' front is installed with two bumpers that, when the vehicle's sensors anticipate collision, will activate with the intention of absorbing most of the impact.
- Armament Storage - An area along the rear seat is built to support a mounted rotary cannon and any similar gatling gun. The rear seat passenger can either hold onto the attached cannon, or cling to the OLYMPUS' beskar frame bars at either side.
- Fortified - The OLYMPUS is fairly sturdy, able to withstand a lot of blaster fire. Its bumpers and overall design protect it from a lot of brunt force, ensuring the vehicle stays perfectly operational after a possible accident.
- Responsive - Not only does the OLYMPUS' neurolink with seated astromechs allow its systems to operate faster than usual, it allows the astromech to relay data, coordinates, and functions to the driver in an instant via the myriad of screens before the driver's seat.
- All-Inclusive - The OLYMPUS was designed with travel with multiple people in mind. As such, it can be an incredibly powerful opponent if all passengers work together in unison.
- Target Practice - While decently tanky, the OLYMPUS' bulky design is nonetheless hard to miss. Not only that, but the lacklustre protection given to the two passenger seats at either side puts the people in those positions in significantly more danger than the vehicle's other seats.
- Power Re-direction - The OLYMPUS' main engine thrusters can grant it an incredible boost, but activating them comes with a few caveats. For the few seconds of boosting, the OLYMPUS' power is prioritized for the thrusters, meaning its self-correcting bumpers are very briefly offline. As such, the usage of the vehicle's boost within densely populated areas proves incredibly risky. Not only that, but once the boost is activated, the thrusters require a re-charge period of five minutes before they can be utilized again.
- Achille's Heel - The OLYMPUS' greatest weakness is its vulnerability to EMPs and other similar attacks. Its systems seize in place, and while the vehicle is designed to quickly abort all momentum to maximize its passenger's safety during the downtime period, it nonetheless refuses to respond and leaves its passengers sitting ducks.
Following their mission on Xa Fel, BB-610 felt a need to acquire a personal ground transport that suited him and his four allies - two of which being his master,
Valery Noble
, and her husband,
Kahlil Noble
. Getting a privately commissioned speeder, BB-610 intended on it being tailored for any future missions with them, as well as giving the Noble family a transport option that wasn't a starfighter. The speeder comes installed with two forward thrusts and drift thrusters, allowing for responsive breaks and turns, as well as its main engine thrusters meant to dispense excess and stored energy for a brief increase in speed.Designed to be used in tandem with his friends, the DG-OPT3, nicknamed the OLYMPUS by the little droid, was given five different seating locations - four for his teammates, and one astromech slot for himself. With the driver decently protected with a retractable windshield and dual airbrakes at either side, the front passenger seats were designed for the much riskier members of his team, allowing them to cling to the beskar bars while being able to freely lean out and strike with their lightsabers. In the event that the two passengers in question need to go on the defensive, they can retreat into their seats' respective hulls, with their footrests retracting vertically to serve as a weak shield. For the vehicle's rear passenger, their seat allows them to oversee the OLYMPUS' path from a slightly higher vantage point, with the seat being designed with a mounted rotary cannon in mind, allowing the rear passenger to deliver an assault from a further range than the front passengers.
At the very front of the vehicle is a small luggage area, protected via a retractable vent. While it doesn't afford room for the transportation of crates and otherwise decently sized cargo, it's nonetheless enough to store smaller items such as blasters, lightsabers, and trinkets of similar sizes. Also at the front of the vehicle are its two self-correcting bumpers, which remain tucked away at either side when inactive, and swiftly spring around to shield the OLYMPUS' nose when a collision is anticipated.
