The W/SAH-4 Apus is the scout hoverbike of the Order's forces. Recon hoverbikes have excellent speed and perception, but are lightly armed and are only armed with a light pulse laser.

Description[]

The one-manned W/SAH-4 hoverbike is mainly used for scouting purposes even though its turret-mounted pulse laser can engage both enemy infantry and terradynes. When used in combat encounters, it is usually deployed for hit-and-run strikes, relying on its speed and maneuverability to remain unscathed. The pilot’s modified Crusader armor is wired into the powerful sensors fitted to the hoverbike blessing him with an extremely detailed image of the surrounding terrain and elements. The hoverbike is armored with light polysteel-15 and is not suitable for frontal assaults against enemy assault terradynes.

The Apus is powered with a Mk.IV Durfire Advanced Grav Engine with four titanium plated outlets, with the back turbines providing momentum and the two front outlets controlling the direction. Advanced targeting and visual enhancing equipment is standard on the Apus, strengthening its scout role.

The hoverbike’s primary weapon - the SourKodd 8Bx10 “BerZerk” - is a light pulse laser mounted on a small turret located behind the pilot with full 360 degrees movement. Its targeting system is somewhat limited in targeting fast moving aerodynes. A RamTech minelayer unit can be fitted to the rear chassis at the Field Commanders discretion, giving it a secondary defensive role
