Although Podracing has often been made illegal on Imperial-held worlds, the sport has never lost even an ounce of its popularity on the planet Mahporeem. Podracing has proved so popular, in fact, that the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has been forced to fully legalize the sport, despite the many reservations that they hold against those who participate in it.
Of course, the legalization of Podracing has also brought a number of tangible benefits to the Imperial Remnant, with the most important of these benefits being increased credit collection from the sport's many spectators and gamblers. Podracing has always been a lucrative business, but with Mahporeem's reopening to the galaxy, the potential to gain credits has only skyrocketed.
To take advantage of these opportunities, the Imperial Remnant has created a state of the art and one of a kind podracer called the TIE Podracer. Made from traditional podracing parts and salvaged TIE components, the TIE Podracer perfectly balances speed and power in a large and intimidating design. When piloted by an expert racer such as
Ronhar Tane
, few can compete with a machine like the TIE Podracer.Out Of Character Info
