The Sunwolf speeder bike was Ikas-Adno's military variant of their popular Starhawk speeder bike.

Description

Measuring 2.8 meters, the Sunwolf was an improved, military-grade version of the Starhawk speeder bike. Capable of speeds up to 425 kmh with a flight ceiling of 15 meters, the Sunwolf was a single-seat speeder bike armed with a single forward-facing laser cannon. A Sunwolf cost 5,500 credits when purchased new, and 1,150 when used.

History

The Sunwolf was Ikas-Adno's first foray in the military speeder bike market, and was an improved version of their civilian model, the Starhawk. While not as fast or powerful as Aratech's 74-Z speeder bike, the Sunwolf was popular with planetary governments and mercenaries as it was cheaper to buy.

As the Sunwolf looked almost identical to the Starhawk, the bike was favored by Alliance to Restore the Republic agents and other like-minded individuals as it was often mistaken for its civilian predecessor, which gave them the element of surprise in some situations. Thilis-Brin, an Ishi Tib technician and Foster Agent working for the Alliance, drove a modified version of the Sunwolf as her personal vehicle.
