Swoop

A swoop is an airspeeder equivalent to a surface hugging speeder bike. Basically an engine with a seat, swoops are fast and highly maneuverable. All controls are located in the swoop's handlebars and saddle, and a wind fairing provides stabilization and direction shifts. Swoop racing is a very popular sport in the Galactic Core and throughout the civilized regions of the known galaxy. The sport requires huge domed arenas called swoop tracks, which enclose tens of thousands of viewing seats, circular flight paths, obstacle courses, and massive concession booths. Some outlaw bands in the Outer Rim Territories use swoops, and outlaw gangs like the Nove Demons and Dark Star Hellions have gained infamy for their crimes.
