Void Wings

The Void Wings were a pirate group active during the Galactic Civil War period. The Void Wings were formed prior to the Battle of Yavin, when an earlier pirate organization was disbanded and split in two groups: the Night Fangs and the Void Wings.^[1]

In space battles, Void Wings pilots flew G1-M4-C Dunelizard fighters, Rihkxyrk assault fighters, YT-1300 light freighters and Warlord Heavy Cruisers. One such cruiser was the Fear and Futility.^[4]

Behind the scenes

The Void Wings appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,^[5] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.^[6] Contrary to other space factions that were introduced with the expansion pack Jump to Lightspeed,^[7] the Void Wings were added to the game with the release of the "Chapter 8,"^[4] on January 15, 2008.^[8] With this update, several space-based kill collections were added to the game and Void Wings starfighters, transports and gunships were added to various star systems.^[2] Later, the "Game Update 16," released on March 23, 2010,^[9] allowed players to fight unlimited waves of Void Wings vessels spawned from the Dantooine, Naboo and Yavin space stations.^[3]

In the game, Void Wings pilots incorrectly used the same models and taunt sentences than the Dark Veil Order pilots, erroneously mentioning their cult of the Heart of Dathomir.^[5]
