T13 Jetbike

The T13 is a practical scout/assault vehicle used by the Oligarchy to patrol large areas, or launch hit and run raids alongside the cavalry and infantry. Typically, the large anti-grav generators mounted along the underside of the craft suspend it a comfortable three meters off the ground, but they can be pushed up to fifty if required. Housed at the rear is a large jet-engine, fed by a miniaturised hydrogen power-plant, giving it next to no fuel requirements. The saddle is swept forward, encouraging the rider to lean forward, keeping the forward profile as aerodynamic as possible. Under the cone-shaped nose, is the mounting point for a 5mm rail-minigun, allowing the Blade to chew up infantry formations along with light armour. There is the option ro install a 40mm rail-cannon, for anti armour use. At the rear, under the jet-engine is the mounting point for a variety of systems. Most popular is a long bundle of steel/tungsten cables, which drag behind the bike when in flight. On the ends of the five or six cables are wicked barbed hooks, allowing the pilot to hook ground forces from their feet. Another system are a trio of delivery tubes for Tal'Nar trackers, which can be released at low altitude to sow havoc among the enemy ranks.
