These light and inexpensive craft are used by the Imperial Scouts as ground support craft.
Far less powerful than combat airspeeders, they are also much
smaller and more maneuverable, capable of flying below the canopy
of forests when faced with an air attack, something that most
combat airspeeders cannot do.
Hawk pilots are usually known for their skill and arrogance,
as the craft are almost as difficult to pilot as starfighters, and
a simple patrol flight often faces them with as many unexpected
obstacles as a run on a battle platform. Due to the great skill it
takes to fly these ships, The Imperium is inclined to indulge the
Hawk pilots, who often paint their ships in camouflage colors to
match the predatory avians of whatever area they are stationed in.
