Starhawk speeder bike/Legends

The Starhawk Speeder Bike was a swoop bike used by Hondo Ohnaka and his pirate gang.

Characteristics


This type of swoop was probably built by Ikas-Adno, considering the fact that it looked the same as the Starhawk 2b Speeder Bike build by Ikas-Adno and it almost has the same name. It was a well known swoop, because of its sturdy build. The speeder bike was different from other speeders, because of the possibility to ad a sidecar to the bike. The Starhawk was very reliable in combat and could transport goods. The speeder itself was unarmed, but the pilot and the passenger could use handheld blasters to fight against enemies. Each swoop had energy couplers in the back, so it could drag cargo behind it.

History
Ohnaka obtained these speeders after he fled from Porla the Hutt on Boonta. He stole Porla's skiff and took with him several of these swoops and Ubrikkian tanks. Turk Falso, the lieutenant of Hondo Ohnaka used these swoops to engage a group of clones under the command of Commander Stone and Jar Jar Binks. The clones crash landed in the Doshar fields of Florrum, after they were shot down by a Flarestar-class Weequay ship piloted by Barb Mentir, the accomplice of Falso to bring a spice ransom to Ohnaka in exchange for the captive Count Dooku. The pirates cut the clones off from their crashed shuttle, took the spice crates out of the shuttle and attached energy couplers to the crates to tow them away with their bikes. Jar Jar and the clones chased the pirates by riding on skalders, creatures native of Florrum. They managed to get the spice back from the pirates and Falso was the only one to escape, returning back to the pirate base.
