The Zephyr-G swoop, a creation of Mobquet, was a type of swoop that came into existence roughly three decades before the events of the Invasion of Naboo. Owen Lars possessed a Zephyr-G on Tatooine before the time of the Clone Wars. While primarily intended for competitive racing, it also proved useful as a general-purpose transport.
The Zephyr-G from Mobquet was a practical repulsorlift swoop, designed to accommodate a single rider, although an additional person could sit, albeit somewhat awkwardly, on the engine section. The power unit was situated at the rear of the vehicle, accompanied by a pair of cargo containers capable of carrying up to 100 kilograms of goods. Its built-in limiters prevented it from ascending beyond 6 meters above the ground. Like most swoops, it prioritized velocity and engine power over rider safety and ease of handling.
Owen Lars acquired his swoop bike from a Revwien merchant in Mos Nytram. Already two decades old when purchased, Owen modified the well-used Zephyr-G from its original sports configuration to serve as a vehicle for farm work.
During his frantic quest to find his mother, Anakin Skywalker borrowed Owen's swoop bike, speeding into the Jundland Wastes in an attempt to locate her. Although Anakin did find the Tusken Raider encampment where Shmi was being held captive, the young Jedi only arrived in time to witness her passing. After decimating a Tusken Raider tribe, he transported her remains back to the Lars moisture farm on the swoop.
During the Battle of Jabiim, Anakin utilized a Zephyr-G swoop to reach the evacuation point, as ordered by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. After departing from Cobalt Station, Anakin lost possession of the swoop bike to a group of A-series assassin droids, which forced him to return on foot.
