Slowly the sun was setting on the horizon of Zonju V, leaving a beautiful red and orange tint to the landscape of the vast desert lands and dunes that covered the planet. In an outpost setup away from civilization was a large, makeshift race track which could be tore down and put into caravans for transport to keep away unwanted eyes....Sahad'ra's track: A gamblers paradise. The attraction was impossible for gamblers in that section of the galaxy, all around the underground, word was spreading of this specific race, 4 new racers were coming out of the underground and by winning this race, they would be put against the current champion of this local track : A well known Zabrak of this region named Tae'Bek and the winner would not only get the champs title, but also a prize of fifteen thousand credits and any bets placed upon them.
Above ground, the concession stands were booming with people buying refreshments, merchandise and placing their bets, but below ground, something sinister was happening. A droid was going through the racers rest area as they prepared their pods and came upon the pod owned by a young chiss named Dretth . It was painted and designed to look like the rest of the droids who were programmed to be the officials of the races. It carried in its left hand a datapad which had all the information on all the racers. It quickly made itself known to the racer as it spoke. " Racer number 2: Dretth , you are needed at the registration booth to finish up all required documents before the race can begin." The young chiss quietly looked up to the droid and without a second thought stood up, nodded and took off toward the registration booth. As soon as the racer left view, the droid quietly began to due what he was actually there to do: Sabotage the pod, it quickly planted a remote bomb under the control panel and then quickly made way from this area before anyone noticed.
The starting bell sounded just as Dretth got back from the registration booth, he had been confused as he was told all documents were filled out and he was not needed, but gave no thought as to why he was sent, only thing that he could think of was that the droid was malfunctioning. The four racers came out to the starting line and lined up in order from 1-4, #1 the human: Hrano sebolg, #2 The twi'lek: Leworzucrak, #3: The chiss: Dretth and #4 the rodian: Tanton. Each had their specific number panted upon the side of their pods and each one sat in the pods while waiting for the word to go. The stands were packed with species of all kinds, and most were just about finished with their betting, and standing in line, in his duster, cowboy hat and roughed up boots was Boroco Hans, he knew he had little left in ways of credits but could not resist betting on such a fast paced sport. The announcer came onto the intercom and gave the final call for all bets, before stating the race was to begin in five minutes.
