Transportation
Daar activates a few droids to watch the back room and then ushers you outside to his quarry.
You smile as you see just a couple of reasons why Daar keeps his business on the hush hush. They're beautiful. Excellent modes of transport for someone on the go.
A swoop is a dangerously overpowered model of speeder bike popular in cutthroat racing circuits in the galaxy. Often described as little more than "an engine with a seat," swoops incorporate a repulsorlift unit, an advanced turbothruster engine, and very little else. Some swoops can attain speeds approaching 600 kilometers per hour, and can even reach the upper atmospheres of standard worlds, though such high-flying necessitates the use of pressurized and climate-controlled flight suits.
The Mobquet Flare-S is a hybrid of speeder bike and swoop, and considering its intent for the consumer market, offers more safety features than its outlaw cousins. Heavier than the lean racing craft found elsewhere, the Flare-S features a curved and reinforced chassis that helps hold the swoop together during turning maneuvers. Forward control vanes support a central repulsor pod that helps distribute repulsor energy, giving the pilot a greater degree of control. Despite these features, the Flare-S is considerably more difficult to operate than a standard speeder bike.
The preferred speeder bike model is the Aratech 74-Z. Aratech, a manufacturer of civilian models, developed a very efficient and speedy vehicle perfect for Imperial scout troopers. Other models of Imperial bikes include the Aratech 64-Y Swift-3 repulsorlift sled, refitted Ikas-Adno Starhawks, and the Mobquet TrailMaker III.
Soaring at amazing speeds on reconnaissance and patrol duties, the Imperial speeder bike is a slim, single-person repulsorlift conveyance. The lightweight bike can attain speeds in excess of 500 kilometers per hour. A quartet of small directional steering vanes on twin outriggings affords the speeder its maneuverability. The preferred choice of many, is to use two shoulder-level handgrips to control elevation and direction; a pair of rocker-pivoted pedals controls acceleration.
Located just fore of the speeder's saddle is a panel of toggle switches and knobs that control communications and other vital systems. Slung beneath the speeder's frame is a single laser cannon that is always upgradeable.
