Galit

Galit is an popular, extremely dangerous racing sport developed by the Kaeolians, taking place exclusively on the planet Sont every 500 Terran years, when the planet experiences a brief period of light from its star. The sport involves the usage of Zaarjis, rocket-power hover vehicles that can attain ludicrous speeds. Contestants gather on an outpost located on the planet's equator, ready their vehicles, and then take any position they wish outside of the outpost on the planet surface. When day breaks at the outpost, the race begins. The contestants must travel the entire circumference of the planet and make it back to the outpost before nightfall (which, due to Sont's unique orbital patterns, gives the contestants only 10 minutes to complete the race). The jagged, rocky terrain of Sont makes this difficult to accomplish, especially considering the extreme speeds at which Zaarjis travel. Maps of Sont's surface are extremely rare (and extremely valuable) items that many contestants desperately attempt to get their hands on, as they can help contestants plan the fastest routes back to the outpost in order to win. There is only a single winner in Galit, and often, either due to carefully-planned routes or advanced sense-boosting cybernetic implants, these winners remain the undefeated champions of the sport for a considerable length of time. The immense danger of Galit is coupled with immense rewards, and even a single win in the sport can give a contestant enough currency to last a lifetime.
