DESCRIPTION
A rather common starship modification -offered by mainly by Corellian Engineering Corporation and also purchasble from other shipwrights - inflatable pontoons were commonly installed aboard light freighters and other craft that had dedicated business on water worlds like Mon Cala or Manaan, as they allowed for safe water-landings, staying afloat, and even take off from the water.Rectangular pontoons were installed to frame the ship's landing gear. Depending on the ship model, spherical pontoons might also be required to elevate any mandibles. Ships with inflatable pontoons installed onto them also had their landing jets modified so that they could divert atmospheric gas into the pontoons in order that they would inflate upon landing. Those pilots that might not have much experience in starship maintenance and mechanics could also opt to rig the pontoons themselves by connecting them to dedicated tanks that would inflate them with pressurized gasses upon landing.
in addition to starships, this upgrade can also be mounted on atmospheric vehicles.
