Description/Role: Hiker Vehicles builds their Swoop Bikes with one thing in mind: speed. Primarily a racing swoop, Hiker has gotten their name more than known in professional swoop circuits all over the galaxy from the Core to the Mid-Rim. However, their popularity in swoop racing has made some in the general public want to buy their swoops as well, so Hiker Vehicles sell to both Professionals and the Public.
The 420 Banshee was one of the first swoops Hiker Vehicles designed, named after the Corellian Banshee bird. Created and flown by the legend, Elias Moreill himself, the swoop was one of Hiker Vehicles most popular for many years. When Elias Moreill was killed in a freak accident involving a drunk driver it was reported that he was driving his 420, which had no safety systems installed to keep from throwing the driver in the event of an accident. Afterwards, the 420 lost a lot of its popularity. Despite this, the 420 is still being manufactured today, to target a core group who still believe in the swoop.
