RipWings begin as sleek, Gold-owned escort craft in the skies of Mars, then evolve into jagged, Blue-piloted patrol fighters on Luna before becoming versatile, battle-worn starfighters used by both Society and Republic forces. Their role expands from ceremonial escorts to frontline combat units, reflecting the escalating scale of the Rising. By the later books, these compact fighters are shown docking with larger vessels and enduring the attrition of prolonged interstellar war.
