SPECIAL FEATURES
- Muffled Engines: Engines have been muffled with silencers, thus making it's engine very quiet, emitting a silent hum that is extremely hard to detect.
- Small Shield Generator: Attached under the driver's seat & protects the whole swoop from extreme blaster fires.
STRENGTHS
- Extremely Fast: The engines have been designed to clock to really high speeds, although such high speeds require the driver to wear rider gear to protect from fast approaching objects.
- Small Frame: Its small framework allows it exemplary maneuverability & turn capability around extreme sharp corners.
- Sturdy Hull: The hull of the swoop is made of duraplast, making it very hard to penetrate & coupled with a small shield generator, it protects high grades of protection against blaster fire.
WEAKNESSES
- Averagely Bulky: State-of-the-art systems like shield generator & engine muffler adds unwanted weight on the swoop which can be too bulky to handle for inexperienced drivers.
- Lack Of Armaments: To keep its high maneuverability intact, it left very little room for armaments, though 1 Gi/9 Antipersonnel Laser Cannon does more damage than 2 regular cannons.
- Little Cargo-Space: Due to its already achieved weight, little room is left for much cargo space. Though there is enough for minimal gear of driver.
DESCRIPTION
Salazar needed a swoopbike to travel long distances. As an initiate, he saw the Balutar swoop & he was attracted to its small frame & sturdy look. After he became a knight, he asked the R&D section of Canyon Defence Ltd for a special Balutar swoop according to his specifications. Though armaments weren't his priority, he told them to focus on speed, defence, & maneuverability. After the first prototype was made after a month, he saw that the engine was making a lot of noise which was removed thereafter using some silencers. After all the modifications were complete, Salazar personally tested it intensively for 6 months before officially accepting it.
