Grand Aratech Gravidrome

OnACanonArticle

"An attempt by Zugga Entertainment to open a podrace course in the Grand Aratech Gravidrome on Coruscant led Divo to amass volumes of research on the sport because the spectacle's shady reputation raised his suspicions."
―Exantor Divo, Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious[1]

The Grand Aratech Gravidrome was a structure on[1] the Core Worlds[2] planet Coruscant that shared its name[1] with the Aratech Repulsor Company.[3] In 7944 C.R.C., Zugga Entertainment attempted to open a podracing course in the Gravidrome; however, ultimately it did not go through with the project. Zugga Entertainment's plans led Coruscant Security Force Inspector Tanivos Divo to compile a large case file on podracing due to the sport's shady reputation.[1]

In 34 ABY,[4] Divo's grandson, Exantor Divo, speculated in his book, Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, that Zugga abandoned the podracing course after learning that law enforcement was taking an interest.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Grand Aratech Gravidrome was mentioned in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1]

Therefore, 8011 C.R.C. must have been around 34 ABY. Scum and Villainy also mentions Hosnian Prime as still being capital of the New Republic, meaning the in-universe Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious must have been published prior to the destruction of the planet, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. As the publishing must have occurred between the time of the latest entries and the destruction of Hosnian Prime, it therefore also took place around 34 ABY.
