Hyperspace Racing

Hyperspace Racing, also known as Storm Surfing is an extreme sport performed in specialized racing ships. Racing is done by people of varying skill and class from all parts of the galaxy. It is considered to be one of the most popular sporting activities performed by ships.

Overview
Ships race against each other through hyperspace, the danger comes from the storms whose electrical discharges create lightning which emit shock waves which, if unprepared can tear ships apart. Racing ships utilize these shock waves to reach insane velocities.

Ships
Designed for the specific use of speed and manoeuvrability, racing ships are constructed and are incredibly lightweight in order to reach high velocities. Racing ships normally carry a crew of 5 at a time and house.
