Legend

this special apparatus was used by thrill-seekers on Coruscant during garbage pit races. The race wings were formed from a special, lightweight frame to which a racer was strapped. Small jet engines were mounted on the tips of the wings, and a thin membrane covered the frames to provide resistance. Once strapped in, the racer would out into the air and actually fly. With tiny servomotors, the wings could be drawn in or spread out to enhance maneuverability, and the engines provided lift whenever a breeze was unavailable. An optical cup was available, providing realtime status data to the racer.
