... infamous Boonta Eve Classic. But the Alderaanian women were savvy enough to pick up on the inherently seedy nature of the Daiyu Raceway, seeing through the veneer of respectability that masked the sordid elements beneath. The track was designed to guarantee at least one or two fatalities during the course of the race, catering to the bloodlust of the crowds, with tampering and cheating almost encouraged by the owners of the vast venue.
Even from a distance, Winter and Leia could find the betting rings, every vendor was surrounded by their own crowds of braying gamblers. A number focused primarily on the odds of the winners and runners-up, but it wasn't tricky to spot those running dead pools, raking in extortionate sums of Republic credits and equivalent currencies based on who the gamblers believed were most likely to perish during the race and on which lap they believed the fatalities would occur.
Leia led the way towards the procession of exotic beauties waiting to disperse themselves amongst the many pod racing teams lining the pit. It was a sight that catered to the hyped up spectators, with large screens dotted around the roof of the arena showing off each and every scantily clad woman.

"That's because Daiyu knows how to treat its pilots, Cherrub," a weedy-looking balosar grinned, looking at the pair with blatant desire, though his attention quickly became fixated on Winter. "I've heard that these race queens of theirs do a lot more than stand around and look pretty."
"Really?" Cherrub looked at the arrivals questioningly. "Is he right about that?"
"Oh, he's quite right," Leia purred, giving her exasperated friend a conspiratorial smirk. "Given the nature of this sport, our employers believe that every pilot is deserving of a, shall we say, special form of treatment. Isn't that right, Ivory."
