Wipeout teams

The Wipeout series of video games has had a cast of fictional racing teams that vary from game to game, with several teams consistently making repeat appearances. Each team is typically represented by its geographic region of origin rather than by individual pilots, though the original Wipeout and Wipeout Fusion presented two pilots apiece for each team.

Minor teams
Zone

Appearances:
*Wipeout Fusion
*Wipeout Pure

Team colors:
*Silver

Origin (est.):
*Anti-gravity Racing Association (2197)

Known ship models:
*"Zone Ship"

To call Zone a team is a bit of a misnomer, since they are owned by the race's governing board as a test of pilot skill. The Zone ship is used to test pilots by having a supremely powerful craft with nearly limitless amounts of speed and agility on tap. One catch: its shields are practically nonexistent. The ship, in Wipeout Pures "Zone Mode", slowly accelerates to an extremely fast top speed, and the pilot is scored on how long he/she can keep it in one piece. The version authorized to race in the actual circuit is a redone version of this strange, almost ethereal-looking ship, with similar statistics.

Al-Vaskei Research and Development (a.k.a. Puma / Wire05 / Guardian / Patriot)

Appearances:
*Wipeout Pure

Team colors:
*Depends on sponsor

Origin (est.):
*Saudi Arabia (2167, closed soon after, revived 2197)

Originally built for a Saudi president's son so he could race in the F9000 league of Wipeout Fusion, this craft was severely limited in terms of performance and funding. In the FX300 League, the team came back totally retooled, with a promising craft, but out of funds. Accordingly, the team races under its current sponsor's colors.

Quantax (a.k.a. Puma)

Appearances:
*Wipeout Pure

Team colors:
*Depends on sponsor

Origin (est.):
*Russia (2181)

Known ship models:
*F7200-era Quantax Design Model (number unknown at present)

Quantax was an offshoot of Qirex shortly before the FX300 League was born. The Quantax team's name is derived from the similarly named line of Qirex's old crafts. As such, the latest Quantax model shares the original design and specs of early Qirex crafts. It was founded when one of Qirex's older designers stated her dissatisfaction with the new Qirex ships and decided to build her own, while staying true to Qirex's old formula.

Medieval

Appearances:
*Wipeout Pure

Origin (est.):
*Unknown (2197)

Mottos:
*"It's Time To Get Medieval"

Wipeout rarely features magic and the occult as shtick, but the Medieval team is an exception, as the team consists of the undead. As such, their ship looks decidedly Dark Age, which can contrast with the technological theme of Wipeout. Their craft are very fast and able, but the shields are far weaker than normal, an indicator of a certain disregard for personal safety by the dead racers. Its design is polarizing amongst fans, since Wipeout is a futuristic racer, and an anachronistic team like Medieval is extremely jarring with typical Wipeout themes.

Stealth

Appearances:
*Wipeout Pure (promotional package with the Stealth movie UMD)

Team colors:
*Dark gray

Origin (est.):
*North America

Known ship models:
*

The Stealth team is a tie-in with the 2005 film, Stealth, distributed via a limited promo version of Wipeout Pure bundled with the film on UMD. Their stay in the FX300 League was indeed brief, and the impression the "team" leaves is a very poor one. While they may have above-average top speed, their acceleration, turning, and shield qualities were average at best, and sorely inadequate at worst.

CokeStyle

Appearances:
*Wipeout Pure

The shapes of coke craft is just like a coke bottle.
