DESCRIPTION
The Flitknot-class swoop is a sport repulsorcraft that was originally manufactured by the Huppla Pasa Tisc Shipwrights Collective, a Geonosian corporation that existed prior to and during the Clone Wars. One of the company's most popular products, the Flitknot was widely used by officers and scouts within the Confederacy of Independent Systems, with those examples that survived the war becoming extremely popular on the civilian market due to their high top speed and flight ceiling.

One of Geonosis' most popular exports prior to the planet's sterilization by the Galactic Empire, aside from battle droids, domestic versions of the Flitknot were fitted with a Geonosian-style pheromone interface, which was impossible for most other species to use. Those destined for export were fitted with simple but logical and responsive manual controls, and were highly regarded by Confederate pilots during the Clone Wars. The Flitknot can reach speeds up to 634 kph, and - due to the assumption that it would be used by droids - can reach a flight ceiling of 2 kilometers, high enough that most organic pilots would require a rebreather.

Unfortunately for modern-day owners of Flitknot-class swoops, these vehicles are becoming harder and harder to maintain with the passage of time; with the manufacturer shuttered by the Galactic Empire shortly after the Clone Wars, and the subsequent extermination of the Geonosian species by the Empire, the Flitknot's unique parts and the expertise necessary to perform in-depth maintenance are becoming rare commodities. Some startup aftermarket companies have been formed to investigate Geonosian fabrication techniques in an attempt to rectify this, however.

LEGALITY
Legal. Though they are military surplus, Flitknot-class swoops are considered civilian models in the present day, and are unrestricted on most worlds. They will get the attention of most authorities regardless, however.

INTENT
To bring a vehicle from Canon into our fanon.
