The vulture is a lightly-armored one-man hoverbike primarily used for scouting and patrol, designed with speed and reliability in mind. These features make the vulture suitable for patrolling the vast wildernesses typically found around outer rim colonies. They produce a humming whine as they move.
Vultures are ill suited for heavy combat, given their light frame. However, they make excellent skirmishers, especially against lightly armored targets. Vultures are also tasked with scavenging ("scavenger hover bike" is a term occasionally used). In some occasions, vultures may be formed into small squadrons, usually attached to mechanized infantry. Given the speed at which the bikes move however, it is difficult to maintain cohesion. The vulture's driver seat can be enclosed depending on model, customization, or operating environment and can be configured for someone to ride shotgun. The bike can catastrophically fail if the repulsors freeze up, or the fuel cells begin leaking radioactive material.
That's nice swapping a Starcraft craft into star wars RPG
