[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Balanced- The Firehawk is a speeder designed for a balanced performance. Part of this is literal as it is able to reach higher speeds without suffering balance issues other bikes would thanks to its stabilizers. It comes with a blaster canon and an energy shield to offer it protection meaning it is able to defend itself if it comes under attack.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]: Jack of all trades- The Firehawk is a balanced speeder, but this means it is not the best at any one thing. It is fast but is easily outclassed on speed by other speeder bikes dedicated to it. It comes with some defenses but is not able to handle combat the way a dedicated speeder bike would be for combat. The speeder would require modifications if it wants to be able to do any single job better than average.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Description: Speeder bikes have always been a favored and versatile form of ground transportation throughout the galaxy. So it comes as a surprise that the market offers as few as it does. Taking this into consideration, Ashhearth Industries has decided to begin designing more for the people out in the galaxy to take advantage of. They created the Nightingale medical speeder bike first to go along with their medical products, and so moved next onto the Firehawk. They did this to offer a personal speeder on the market that was able to do whatever the owner needed it to do.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] The design for the Firehawk is simple like every other product created by Ashhearth Industries. It consists of an alusteel frame with an alusteel hull coated in a layer of plastoid for protection. The electronic components and speeder parts take up the space between frame and hull. Stabilizers were attached to the sides to keep it stable when moving at higher speeds. A blaster canon was attached to the left side and the energy shield generator to the right to allow for some protection. These defensive components and the paint job on the plastoid were made to be able to be replaced without the need of taking the speeder apart. The last thing added was a compartment on the back for storage of cargo up to 25 kg.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt] A few features were added to the speeder bike for the pleasure of the rider. The first of these was an HUD display screen so that the rider can keep track of the bike's situation at all times. This includes things such as a fuel gauge, speed gauge, power cell levels, shield status, and internal temperature. Next a holo projector and a communication system were added to it to allow for it to be used while driving it. A distress beacon was added to it too so that the rider could call for help if they became stranded. The last feature added was a music player so that the rider could listen to music while riding.[/SIZE]
