电影



A more elegant example of the typically crude swoop design, the Flare-S swoop has more in common with speeder bikes than its overpowered brethren. A single-seater bike with a curved chassis, the Flare-S swoop can be found on Outer Rim worlds such as Tatooine.
在通常设计粗糙的飞梭摩托中，“闪光S”飞梭摩托是比较优雅的一款。与功率过大的其它飞梭摩托相比，“闪光S”飞梭摩托更像飞行摩托。“闪光S”飞梭摩托是种有弧形底盘的单座摩托，常出现于塔图因这样的外环世界。

衍生宇宙



A swoop is a dangerously overpowered model of speeder bike popular in cutthroat racing circuits in the galaxy. Often described as little more than "an engine with a seat," swoops incorporate a repulsorlift unit, an advanced turbothruster engine, and very little else. Some swoops can attain speeds approaching 600 kilometers per hour, and can even reach the upper atmospheres of standard worlds, though such high-flying necessitates the use of pressurized and climate-controlled flight suits.
飞梭摩托是功率过大的危险型飞行摩托，流行于残酷的银河系飞梭摩托赛道上。除了一个反重力装置和一台高级涡轮推进引擎，飞梭摩托几乎不包含其它部件，因此它常被描述为仅仅是“一台有座位的引擎”。有些飞梭摩托能达到每小时接近600公里的速度，甚至能飞到标准星球的高层大气，不过这种高空飞行需要用到增压和气候控制飞行服。

Swoop racing has largely replaced Podracing as the most popular high-speed spectator sport in the galaxy. The Empire invested untold credits in the construction of swoop tracks and sanctioned races can be found from the Core to the Outer Rim.
飞梭摩托比赛在很大程度上已取代飞梭车赛，成为银河系最受欢迎的高速观赏性体育项目。帝国曾斥巨资建造飞梭摩托赛道，鼓励从核心世界到外环都举办飞梭摩托比赛。

In the farthest reaches of the Rim, swoop culture has led to the growth of terrifying outlaw bands that use their swoops as symbols of their gangs and as raiding craft. The notorious Dark Star Hellions and the Nova Demons are known for their piracy and murderous ways.
在外环最偏远的地带，飞梭摩托文化导致可怕的黑帮滋生。他们把飞梭摩托当作帮派标志和劫掠工具。臭名招著的“暗星恶人”和“新星恶魔”以他们的海盗行径和残杀方式而闻名。

The Mobquet Flare-S is a hybrid of speeder bike and swoop, and considering its intent for the consumer market, offers more safety features than its outlaw cousins. Heavier than the lean racing craft found elsewhere, the Flare-S features a curved and reinforced chassis that helps hold the swoop together during turning maneuvers. Forward control vanes support a central repulsor pod that helps distribute repulsor energy, giving the pilot a greater degree of control. Despite these features, the Flare-S is considerably more difficult to operate than a standard speeder bike.
莫布奎特的“闪光S”是飞行摩托和飞梭摩托的结合体。鉴于其消费市场定位，它比其它非法飞梭摩托提供了更多安全保障。“闪光S”比别处的细长型比赛用飞梭摩托更重，其弧形加固底盘在机动转弯时有助于稳固飞梭摩托。由前控制片支持的中央反重力舱有助于分配反重力能量，为驾驶员提供了更大的控制角度。虽然有这些特点，但“闪光S”仍比标准飞行摩托难以驾驭得多。

幕后



The Flare-S swoop was developed for the extended Mos Eisley sequences in the Special Edition of A New Hope. An entirely computer-generated creation, the film's sole Flare-S was operated by a cone-headed driver that some development sketches jokingly referred to as "Born to Hover." Though designed for the 1997 re-release of Star Wars, the Flare-S was first revealed in the Shadows of the Empire multi-media adventure. The Flare-S design was resurrected and modified for the swoop's brief appearance in Episode I.
“闪光S”飞梭摩托是为《新的希望》特别版里的莫斯艾斯利加长片段设计的。这辆在电影中仅出现过一次的“闪光S”完全由计算机生成。其驾驶员长着锥形脑袋，被一些设计草图戏称为“生来会飞”。尽管是为《星球大战》的1997年重映版设计的，但“闪光S”最早亮相于《帝国阴影》多媒体冒险故事。“闪光S”飞梭摩托的设计被再次启用和修改后，又在《第一部》中短暂出现。
