General

This striker was built to be a multipurpose light scout or attacker. Able to fly in the air and ride on the ground this Striker could attack without warning and quickly fade away and hide. Not well armoured this Striker was incredibly vulnerable and most pilot relied on the Bandits speed and maneuverability to stay alive. To effectively pilot this Striker a special suit was worn to protect against debris, crashes and small arms fire. The suit also magnetically clamped onto the metallic elements of the Bandit’s frame to insure a secure hold. Cheap and fast to produce this Striker was used as transport by elite Special Forces units, regular soldiers and just about every under the Superior Alliance ground forces umbrella. The Bandit was a very common site on the battlefield.
