Introduced in Red Rising as sleek, agile escorts safeguarding Gold luxury yachts through urban skies, RipWings evolve into the jagged, ebony bat-like patrol fighters piloted by Blues on Luna's low-gravity environs in Golden Son, showcasing their nimble prowess in atmospheric skirmishes. Absent from explicit mention in Morning Star, they reemerge in Iron Gold as versatile, battle-hardened starfighters deployed by both Society and Republic fleets, their compact hulls scarred from relentless space and atmospheric dogfights, capable of docking with larger vessels like frigates amid the escalating Solar War.
