The racing swoop known as the Black Raptor belonged to Blizz Pinnix and was highly customized.
This particular swoop was actually a modified XP-2000 prototype from Ikas-Adno, which technically categorized it as a speeder bike. Measuring 4 meters in length, it had the capability of reaching speeds up to 1,300 kilometers per hour. The extreme G-forces produced by the swoop were detrimental to health, leading to the XP-2000's discontinuation from production. Despite this, Pinnix adopted the Black Raptor as his main swoop following his retirement. He equipped the vehicle with a pair of blaster cannons and applied a unique paint scheme. The swoop featured a black hyperpaint finish with violet bands, and it obtained its name, the Black Raptor, from a bird of prey symbol displayed on its flanks. Stend VI's The Pits often saw Blizz Pinnix racing this very swoop.
