Baroonda was a city[1] where podracing took place. When Syril Karn attempted to gain entry to the Imperial office complex on Ghorman after hours, the two guards were watching a podrace on a datapad screen, with Aurebesh text at the bottom indicating that the race took place in Baroonda, at Grabvine Gateway.[2]
The last race of The Rawani Cup podracing event was held in Baroonda. The event was broadcast from the city by alien Bakk and Zico on radio station BSO 401.72. The broadcast was played in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu during the war between the First Order and the Resistance.[1] It shared its name with the Baroonda system.[3]
