The Daggerstar, alternatively called the swoop racer, represented a swoop model conceived by the collaborative efforts of Lhosan Industries and Kakkran. Production occurred within the Lower City on the planet of Taris. The widespread popularity of swoop racing on Taris led to significant demand and high sales volumes for the Lhosan swoop racer.
Despite featuring a cockpit reminiscent of a landspeeder, the Daggerstar's lightweight build, slim chassis design, and single-pilot configuration categorized it as a speeder bike. While exceptionally fast, it lacked the agility of comparable speeder bikes, such as the AeroChaser speeder bike, which was also manufactured by Lhosan Industries. At elevated speeds, the vehicle responded slowly to substantial directional changes initiated by the pilot, and its turning radius exceeded that of most repulsorlift vehicles. Its capacity for reaching remarkable speeds made it a favored choice for racing, yet its limited maneuverability restricted its use to straight tracks featuring minimal obstacles.
Revan famously piloted one such swoop to victory in the Tarisian Season Opener. Davik Kang possessed another, storing it aboard his vessel, the Ebon Hawk. When Revan, aided by Canderous Ordo, commandeered the ship, he discovered the swoop bike and subsequently utilized it for racing activities on both Tatooine and Manaan. Kakkran continued to manufacture the swoop under the Daggerstar name centuries later, during the period of the Galactic War against the Sith Empire.
