Sojutsu Pattern Voidbike
The Sojutsu pattern voidbike was an early prototype Imperial Jetbike that predated the more common Scimitar Pattern in use with the Legiones Astartes.[1]
Overview
During its initial trials, the Sojutsu's thrusters were capable of granting the jetbike limited periods of true flight, and even manoeuvrability in space. As a result, it was classed by the Logisticae Imperialis as an ultralight fighter craft instead of a jetbike. The Primarch Jaghatai Khan was known to have retained a specially engineered version of the Sojutsu for his own use. Its enhanced thrusters were capable of carrying the Primarch into battle, with a swiftness that equalled the lesser jetbikes used by his Legion.[1]
The White Scars have used them to perform boarding actions between voidships, notably by the Brotherhood of the Storm to board the Swordstorm during the Second Battle of Prospero.[3]
