The Tomcat is a fast, maneuverable hover bike, often used by Armator units and Rangers to quickly cover vast tracks of territory. It also is used as a fast attack unit for flanking slower enemy units.
Capable of hitting up to 350 miles per hour, the Tomcat is a small, streamlined vehicle, renowned for its agility. Though it offers no cover for its rider, the bike is fast enough to avoid all but the most accurate fire.
In terms of offense, the Tomcat carries a pair of forward firing heavy plasma repeaters. Though these weapons are largely useless against heavy armor, they are deadly against light patrol vehicles and infantry.
Useful as both in reconnaissance and lightning strikes, the Tomcat is an invaluable part of the Republic’s ground forces.
