Mos Carova Kraytfest Race won by Cpike Morningstar

Date: 170907
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

One week ago, Mos Carova’s mayor, the beautiful and talented twi’lek Candy, hosted the Annual Kraytfest. The event, boldly dedicated to the Krayt dragons which have claimed a number of visitors to the town in the past, and continue to be a concern for travellers outside the city limits as well as farmers, was by all accounts a success.

One of the most remarkable parts of the festival was the Krayt Race – a competition for the bravest (or most foolhardy) racers of the planet, since it was a foot race with the goal to lure a Krayt dragon to the city limits (and into the range of the waiting dragon hunter professionals.

Needless to say, there were not many who took part in the race, despite the prize of 1 Million credits for the winner – as the saying goes, dead people can’t spend their money anymore. Nevertheless, four brave if suicidal individuals took part in the race, and while three ended up in the emergency room (or a dragon’s intestines), Cpike Morningstar managed to survive relatively unscathed, and win the race, 1 Million credits – and probably the first place on the Tatooine Golddigger’s ranking of the most desirable bachelors, for being both rich and suicidal.
