The shortcomings of its predecessor, the Wicca, were apparent since it suffered from a substandard speed and maneuverability. In response to customer complaints due to outdated technology, Ringo developed the Coven to improve on what characteristics customers most wanted in an ultralight swoop whose shaft was retractable for easy storage, while acknowledging that the swoop would be unarmed and very fragile due to its diminutive weight and size. It was thus decided that the Coven would be much faster and much more maneuverable, while still only able to carry limited amounts of cargo because the tractor beam, used for tethering cargo, remained the same as on its predecessor. In a bid to make it as light as possible, the Coven has a distinctive broomstick shape.
