Imagine it as a mix between the black motorcycle and the speederbike, keeping all the motorcycle features, but in a speederbike format.

| Strengths and Weaknesses |
[+] Personalized: Jennifer have used hours upon hours dedicated to fine-tuning the Sterling. The bike matches her style of driving and works at optimal efficiency whenever it leaves the garage as long as it have been recently taken care of.
[+] Fast & Tough: The Sterling is outfitted with illegal and heavily customized parts all throughout. This makes it both surprisingly fast, but also capable of taking a severe beating and still work.
[+] Equipment: The Sterling have been equipped with gadgets that makes it able to handle smoother than most other speeders out there, but also just in general ensures that the rider is actually able to live through the acceleration it is able to achieve.
[+] Afterburners: Its afterburners are able to make the speeder accelerate in an incredible boost of speed for twenty seconds, making it almost as fast as some of the slowest pod racers.
[-] Constant upkeep: The Sterling requires constant upkeep in order to work at full efficiency and can if not be worked on regularly quickly fall into disrepair.
[-] Complicated: Since the Sterling is fine-tuned to match Jennifer’s personal preferences it is exceedingly hard for anyone else to actually figure out how it works without serious practice. This, for example, makes it so friends or comrades would have a hard time helping a knocked out Jennifer flee on it.
[-] Black Market: The speeder is filled with black market parts and customizations. Therefor it is a bike that attracts a lot of attention from the law if one is at a place where they care about such things.
[-] Expensive: It takes a lot of money to both upgrade and fine-tune the Sterling, but it also drains credits due to the constantly required upkeep, credits Jennifer does not really have at this point in time.
| Description |
The Bosozoku T-85 Sterling is the name of Jennifers personal and custom-made speeder bike that she modified from a scratch Joben T-85.
Jennifer is a passionate speeder bike enthusiast and have for almost the entirety of her life worked on such machines. From a young age she and her friend Cindo created The Mechanical Maiden on Coruscant and for years worked on repairing and making custom speeder bikes together, at one point even working for the infamous Broken Skull speeder gang. After some years, Jennifer became a member of the Red Raven syndicate and during her time in the syndicate tracked down a used Joben T-85 Speeder bike. The bike was in a terrible condition when she found it, but with time, she managed to pour enough credits and crafty handiwork onto the bike in order to put it into working condition.
She have ever since then owned the bike and constantly worked on improving it to a degree where it at this point does not even truly look like the classic Joben T-85.
It have been through various iterations, both in color schemes and machinery, but currently have black and chrome surfaces. It contains a smaller fortune of illegal speeder parts, but have also been influenced by famous crafts such as the D-22 Screamer. Despite following the design principles of the Joben T-85, the Sterling have hints of inspiration originating from the Kybuck and the Starhawk.
Jennifer have throughout the years, as she have improved its top speed, installed various safety precautions such as an Inertial compensator to allow for the usage of Ion Afterburners without dieing from a G-force overdose.
Furthermore, she have also installed a mini tractor beam in the seat so one does not fly off the seat as easily as one otherwise would. She have also equipped the speeder with an Electrogravitic Gyro Flywheel that makes it able to fly much smoother than any other bikes without.
Jennifer have also secretly installed a homing beacon in the Sterling that one through a complicated procedure can turn on and off. Considering her main professions are being a speeder mechanic and slicing with specialty in cryptography, she have personally encrypted the beacons signal, so that it is extremely hard to track without the proper device and decryption code. It have been installed, as a way for Jennifer to make sure it cannot be stolen as easily.
Jennifer often jokingly calls her Sterling a princess due to its constant need for attention. It can often almost magically start to break if one does not use it or work on it. It is however unlike certain red cars not haunted.
