Today the finals of the Tusken Trophy, Farpoint Valley's fabled Swoop Race, took place. Falcun Nix and Isuk'ap Sti-La, who together won the qualifying last night, started from the pole positions, with Skalui Urison, TK-SixtySix, Smero and Ist'es Irvist starting from second row.

The race took off, with Falcun and Isuk'ap battling for lead, when suddenly some natives of Tatooine started taking potshots at the racers - Tuskens and Jawas, for reasons unknown, seemed to have taken offense at the race. Tuskens have been reported to have attacked travellers in the area before, and are known to be violent, but the reasons for the agression by the Jawas remain a mystery.



Falcun was hit, and even wounded, but did continue the race, entering the final lap still battling Isuk'ap, and managed to beat her by a hair to the finishing line, earning the 10'000'000 credits for first prize. Isuk'ap won second prize, 6'000'000 and her team, RID Racing, also won the team competition, another 1'000'000. Third place went to Skalui, 4'000'000 credits.

After the race Falcun Nix received medical attention for his wound but it was not serious according to a first check.
