A runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the STAR WARS galaxy.

Out of this chaos, the Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive. No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.
