Plug-F Mammoth

The Plug-F Mammoth was a podracer design produced by Collor Pondrat prior to the Invasion of Naboo. The racing champion Sebulba famously piloted a huge, orange-hued Collor Pondrat Split-X racer.

Characteristics
Sebulba's Podracer was comprised of two Collar Pondrat Plug-F engines arrayed in a split-X configuration. The frontal split-X radiators utilized a ram-air intake system to ensure effective operation of the racer's huge turbines. The engines were fueled by tradium power fluid pressurized with quold runium, activated with ionized injectrine. The estimated maximum speed is 829 km/h and had a maximum altitude of 85 meters.

History
Sebulba made many modifications to his Podracer, so much so that if any race official managed to get a close look at the racer, it would be deemed illegal. Sebulba concealed a flame emitter on the side of one engine, ready to roast any competitor who came too near. Clegg Holdfast was one such daring pilot, who had his Podracer engines ignited during the Boonta Eve Classic, sending the Nosaurian crashing into the desert flats.

That high-stakes race saw Sebulba engage in a perilous face-off with young Anakin Skywalker, flying a custom Radon-Ulzer racer. Though Sebulba sabotaged the slave boy's Pod, Skywalker managed to best the Dug when their racers became locked together on the final stretch. Pulling free, Anakin was able to control his Pod, though Sebulba was not so lucky. His Split-X racer nose-dived into the desert, sending the massive Plug-F engines flying. Sebulba survived the crash, and replaced his ruined Podracer with the Pod that won the Boonta race: the racer belonging to Anakin Skywalker.

However, a decade after his defeat, Sebulba had managed to lay his hands on a new pod model from Collor Pondrat, the Plug-F Gargantuan Split-X.
