The Pike is a one manned hovercraft like vehicle. The vehicle has 2 machine guns and a larger gun on the front. Players can drive it, though where they can be found in the field is uncertain. It has been frequently compared to the Halo Ghost.[1]
Looking like a cross between a Motorcycle and the prop-driven aircraft of Humanity's early days, the Pike is fast, agile, and like most guardian vehicles, extremely deadly. Reaching a top speed in excess of 132 meters per second, the Pike can chase down and kill even the most impressive of enemy vehciles. Of note is the heavy armor covering the nose of the vehicle, allowing it to sustain an unheard-of amount of damage before engine and structural failure.
This durability and speed comes at a serious price however. The Pike has essentially zero protection for its pilot, relying instead on the Pilot's quick instincts and reaction to incoming enemy fire to avoid personal damage. With supplementary powers from the Traveler, some pilots can push the Pike beyond its listed operational capabilities and perform maneuvers considered to be unrecoverable by normal humans.
