Xios

Xios International was an AG racing team based in Finland. They only appeared in Wipeout Fusion.

Xios made its reputation early on as an audacious and provocative team, with even the corporate leadership embracing spectacle and media-spin as a strategic asset. But behind the bravado was genuine innovation, as a business with contemporary aerospace engineering at its core. Within their racing department's aerodynamic and chassis development staff was Maurice Duprix, once Head of Gravitational Physics at Pacific University, who was known to take inspiration from nature to design new technologies.

Alongwith the guarded EG-R and the rough-and-ready Tigron, Xios helped to define the cultural tone of the F9000 as an aggressive and boisterous sport. The signing of the 2158 World Pilots’ Champion Natasha Belmondo as their Lead Pilot, great-great-granddaughter of Pierre Belmondo, from under Auricom marked a key moment for Xios, propelling them into achieving the 2159 Constructor's Championship and securing their position among the sport's elite. In keeping with such a loud and unapologetic image, Natasha Belmondo attacked members of the Race Commission with accusations of betraying her ancestor's vision, and Xios mocked the venerated Auricom as a “bloated and arrogant team”.

Xios built ships with raw engine power in mind, and equipped with weapons systems to knock all other competitors away, for an explosively competitive ship that could rival Piranha for results. However, with the fall of the F9000, the future security of their AG related products was called into question, and a merger with EG-R in 2172 forming EG-X Technologies allowed them to switch towards more than simply aerospace-related hardware.
