Previously on Pern, Wings were used for strategy in threadfall to cover all altitudes and prevent thread from falling through cracks in the rider's coverage of an area. With Thread falling significantly less, wings are still used to provide structure to the weyr, but the riders within them are often grouped by skills or other qualities considered by the weyrleadership. All wings are still prepared to fight thread, but only a few train solely for that purpose.

Starcraft Wing
Otherwise knows as the research wing


This wing is composed of more scientifically minded riders who want to funnel their energy into starcraft, but even more specifically into understanding the new patterns of thread, general meteorological phenomena, and have recently taken up training to predict natural disasters as well. So far this includes doing things like regular checks across the Pernese oceans for developing hurricanes/tropical storms, and working with the material AIVAS left behind to learn how to predict Earthquakes.


Starscream Wing
Otherwise known as the thread fighting wing

This wing works in conjunction with the Starcraft wing to react to the things they study. This is the wing that stays in tip top flying shape, with riders who want to pursue all the action Pern has to offer. When thread falls this is the wing that meets it head on and in the most dangerous positions. They are also the team that assists on the ground with natural disasters. For example: If the starcraft wing predicts a tropical storm will land at a set of small cotholds off of Landing, this wing would evacuate the area.

Eastern Wing

Northern Wing
