TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Electronic Warfare - The Vahana is equipped with an electronic warfare suite that gives it an extra option against guided ordnance, while also giving the craft sensor jamming capabilities and the ability to exert a degree of influence over the electromagnetic environment in a given battlespace.
  • Vahana Out of Nowhere - The Vahana is quite fast and with the additional option of its afterburners, it can achieve blistering, transonic speeds for a limited amount of time before the engine must undergo a heat discharge protocol.
  • Field Disruption - The Vahana possesses a vehicle-grade field disruption system which allows it to traverse through conventional shields.
  • Hyper Dance - The Vahana is a very agile speeder bike. Its capabilities in this category are further enhanced by the Pentozali, allowing the craft to execute dazzling maneuvers that test the limits of physics, gravity, and the strength of its rider.
  • Slippery - A gravitic stabilizer system allows the Vahana to resist repulsorlift jammers and tractor beams which might function to slow it down, allowing the craft to maintain optimal performance in areas subject to these effects.
WEAKNESSES
  • Fragile - While the Vahana has combat-rated shields, it has an ultralight AlloyPlast fairing which may be susceptible to heavy small arms fire, not to mention larger vehicle-grade weapons and emplacements. Thus, should these shields be disabled, the craft will be quite vulnerable.
  • No Cargo - Due to its lack of internal cargo stowage, the Vahana is not suitable for long-term operations in areas where resupply is not readily available. However, the craft has magnetic attachment strips which allows the pilot to attach small pieces of personal gear to the fairing, though this is far from ideal.
  • Exposed - The gravitic stabilizer and the field disruption system can not function while the Vahana’s combat-rated shields are active.
  • Power Burn - The Vahana's afterburners can only be sustained for a limited amount of time due to their intense power demands and potential to overheat the engine. At maximum, the system can only be active for twenty 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 primary weapons while the afterburners are engaged.
  • Mechanical Mutation - An unspoken weakness of virtually all modern technology, the Vahana is vulnerable to the esoteric sorceries of Mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. As such, a skilled practitioner of such arts could feasibly disable the machine.
DESCRIPTION
The FAE/V-08 "Vahana" Interceptor Speeder Bike is a high-performance craft designed and manufactured by First United Astral Engineering. It represents a fresh development that harnesses the company's experience in designing repulsor bikes, with the Vahana in particular fitting into the role of an interceptor. Accordingly, the Vahana's design pushes speed and maneuverability to a bleeding edge. Given this capability, the Vahana is considered to be an extremely demanding craft to ride, with twitchy handling characteristics that have caused even experienced pilots to crash and speeds that very often exceed the limits of the typical human reaction time. Unfortunately, it is not truly meant for civilians or those who only use speeder bikes for transport, scouting, or casual purposes (though such roles are still possible), but rather, it is intended for specialized, highly-trained, and professional pilots who can harness the craft as a lethal extension of their own bodies.

In terms of modularity, the Vahana has two modular primary weapon hardpoints and universal gas launchers, allowing operators to choose loadouts depending on their own preferences and the needs of a given mission. Later refits saw the addition of adjustable ergonomics via programmable matter.

All in all, the Vahana is designed to get the most out of the speeder bike platform, filling the role of a fast interceptor craft capable of engaging a variety of targets on the modern battlefield!
