Podracer/Legends



"They have podracing on Malastare. Very fast, very dangerous."

- Qui-Gon Jinn

A podracer was a repulsorlift racing vehicle piloted during podraces across the galaxy, though specifically in the lawless Outer Rim Territories. The term "podracer" was also used in reference to a being who piloted these racers.

History
The podracer evolved from the animal-drawn carts used in racing sports, and later, the swoop racers commonly seen in competitions on Taris, Manaan, and Nar Shaddaa following the Great Sith War. It was a daring mechanic called Phoebos who designed the first podracer, and a pilot named Gustab Wenbus took this machine for its first experimental flight. Since then, podracing became widely popular on the Outer Rim Territories, and though it was outlawed when the Galactic Empire came to power (although some continued it illegally), the sport enjoyed a resurgence following the Yuuzhan Vong War.
