TravellerHenry 3x9 Heavy Police Grav Cycle
This article originally appeared in the January 2013 issue.
The Henry Corporation has been making two, three, and four-wheeled vehicles for generations, and when the term “Grav cycle” is mentioned, most sophonts tend to think of the Henry; a big, heavy military bike seen at some point in just about every War movie or documentary produced within the borders of the Imperium for more than 100 years.
All hand-assembled, the Henry is a benchmark of quality, and fetches a premium price from buyers.
The Henry 3x9’s computer responds to simple directions from the rider, and can meet up with its Officer at some point, or approach hostiles and lay down suppressive fire as the Officer directs.
The trio of large containers at the rear and on each side of the
Henry are large enough to store a variety of law enforcement gear. The
Henry, with its finely tuned, hand assembled grav modules produces a
distinctive, low thrumming.
The Henry 349 is armed with a VRF Gauss Gun, with ammo split between
drugged rounds for crowd control, and normal rounds for suppressive
fire.
A variant, the Henry 359, has a sidecar attached. It replaces the VRF Gauss Gun with a Gatling Gun pintle-mounted on the sidecar (ammo for suppressive fire only), and has additional storage on the rear of the sidecar.
