TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Glass Cannon - Heavily armed and completely unarmored, the Atroxa is a true to form glass cannon, featuring twin energy torpedo launchers and four main cannons, allowing the speeder bike to effectively punch above its weight class with its robust armament.
  • Boom and Zoom - In lieu of armor and shields, the Atroxa relies on its speed and maneuverability for survival, geared towards hit-and-fade attacks where it can inflict a large amount of damage in a short period of time before zooming off to evade return fire.
  • Imperfect Stealth - While not as comprehensive or reliable as more advanced systems, the Skuggalegt polymer on the Atroxa’s fairing offers a very limited degree of stealth, making the craft potentially harder to detect in dark conditions and giving it a smaller sensor profile. A sound/auditory dampening system diminishes the Atroxa’s sound profile, as well. In a sense, these functions do not make the craft invisible, but rather, they serve to lower the range of detection.
  • Electronic Warfare - In lieu of armor and shields, the Atroxa is equipped with a electronic warfare suite that gives it an extra option against guided ordnance, in addition to sensor jamming capabilities.
  • Fire Concentration - Correcting the disadvantages of linked weaponry pertaining to concentration of fire at certain ranges, the Atroxa utilizes an AI-governed fire concentration system that executes minute on-the-fly adjustments to the angle of the craft’s fixed-forward weaponry, based on constant feedback from pilot input and targeting data. In effect, this system dynamically optimizes pattern harmonisation at all viable ranges, affording the Atroxa’s weapons greater accuracy and damage potential.
WEAKNESSES
  • Fragile - While heavily armed, the Atroxa features only modest defenses, in addition to its fairing being entirely unarmored and presenting an exposed pilot. As such, it is vulnerable to small arms, not to mention larger, vehicle-grade weapons or emplacements.
  • Exposed Pilot - Although the Atroxa is equipped with various utility shield systems to protect the rider from debris and other hazards, the shields are not rated for combat or kinetic projectiles. As such, the pilot is quite exposed to all manner of small arms fire and must depend on their armor or any other defensive systems on their person for protection against such threats.
  • Power Burn - The Atroxa’s afterburners can only be sustained for a limited amount of time due to its intense power demands and potential to overheat the engine. At maximum, the system can only be active for ten consecutive seconds before it is automatically shut off, at which point the engine must undergo a mandatory heat discharge protocol. In addition, the craft can not use its main guns or energy torpedoes while the afterburners are engaged.
  • Mechu-deru - An unspoken weakness of virtually all modern technology, the Atroxa is vulnerable to the esoteric sorceries of Mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. As such, a skilled practitioner of such arts can quickly disable the machine, provided that they have a direct line of sight to the craft.
  • Power Outage - As a machine that depends on a suite of complicated electronics to ensure optimal performance, EMP and/or Ion-based attacks will likely hamper the combat capability of the Atroxa, especially as it is largely unprotected against these threats. While the severity of the damage will depend on the power quotient and proximity of the discharge to the craft, these attacks are nevertheless one of the many potential threats to the integrity of the Atroxa.
DESCRIPTION
As a design specifically produced for the Kainate, the FAE/V-07 “Atroxa” Attack Speeder Bike is a light fast attack vehicle, which in part takes after the Emeici. Often described as a ‘starfighter in vehicle form’, the Atroxa is a fast and heavily armed, yet delicate machine, with an unarmored fairing and an exposed pilot.

Generally only used by more specialized ‘pilots’ over scouts and mechanized infantry, the Atroxa is designed more as a standalone combat platform than a dedicated scouting or transport vehicle. While the riding position prohibits the use of power lances and other handheld weapons, the Atroxa’s armament is built to make up this shortfall, perhaps even rendering such tactics obsolete.

Ultimately, the Atroxa epitomizes a fast, yet fragile glass cannon, which the designers maintain high hopes for regarding its potential performance in the field.
