Staffe class Grav Bike TL 14
The Staffe grav bike is used by the Imperial Army and Marines
for light scouting and courier duty. Easier to requiisition than a
speeder, and faster than an air/raft. It is a common sight at
garrisons, and noted for it's reliability. At TL14 it fits along
side the Trepida grav tank as a companion.
It is open topped but streamlined in such a way that the driver
and passenger are shielded from the elements and hostile fire. The
fareing in front allows much higher speed than an ordinary unstreamlined
grav bike.

Note: The bike is not normally armed, but a troopers weapon may be
clamped to the front of the bike. The driver must wear any power pack
for the weapon. It is a clumsy arrangement, but suitable for an
unarmed craft. If two fully armed troopers are carried, the cargo
capacity is reduced to 87Kg if performance is not to suffer.
