This is the riot bike used by the infamous Armed Interdiction Police. It is a small, two-seat vehicle which resembles a cross between a motorcycle and an open-topped tank. It is designed to go anywhere and, in keeping with the AIP's style, to run over anything. It is fast, cersatile, rugged and reliable. In times of war, insurrection or sometimes at the whim of the local AIP commander, it can be equipped with bullet-proof screens and heavy machine guns. Indeed, several Rats fitted in just such a way were an integral part of the infamous Sector 57 Massacre, which led to the impeachment of AIP commander James Hollander on charges of unnecessary use of force, gross dereliction of duty and massacre of Capitol citizens. During the riots, 359 people were killed or seriously injured, and many bore Rat tracks on their backs.
