STRENGTHS
- Rugged: Built with solid materials, the speeder is very rugged and reliable.
- Fast: Designed to move quickly, the speeder has very good speed and mobility.
- Recon: The bike has powerful scanners and sensors onboard to aid in gathering information.
- Profile: Due to its overall size and weight, the speeder can fit into awkward places and go where other vehicles can’t. Its repulsor engines also make it very quiet.
WEAKNESSES
- Coating: The triprismatic polymer coating is only meant to keep its signature low, not to camouflage the bike entirely.
- Armament: The speeder’s armament is purely meant for personal defense and small targets.
- Defenses: The speeder itself has decent defenses, but the driver is still somewhat exposed.
- Explosive: The reactor in the vehicle could result in an enormous explosion if damaged.
DESCRIPTION
With numerous lessons learned over multiple battlefields, the need for a vehicle that can gather information and move around with respectable speed quickly became apparent.
Built to complement the Type 74 assault speeder and Type 70 tank, the Type 75 is a very fast and nimble speeder bike designed to gather intelligence, get behind enemy lines and get back before someone noticed it.
To aid in this mission, the speeder’s engines are very quiet and the machine has a layer of triprismatic polymer to help keep its overall signature lower.
