Jarek Yeager’s racer or Yeager's ship[7] was a racer that belonged to Jarek Yeager. He had used it to compete in races on the Colossus platform, but by 34 ABY Yeager no longer did so, keeping the ship in his private hangar in his repair shop.[2] Jarek continued to refuse to fly the racer, until the Platform Classic. Jarek again flew his racer in this race against his brother, Marcus Speedstar.[3]
Yeager would later fly this craft alongside Ace Squadron in defense of the Colossus during its escape from First Order forces on Castilon. During the battle Yeager would down several TIE fighters, allowing the Colossus to escape.[4]
In 35 ABY,[8] Yeager flew[9] the racer as part of a fleet[10] assembled by Lando Calrissian to assist the Resistance during the battle against the Sith Eternal forces over the planet Exegol.[11]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary dates the events of Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker to one year after the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of The Force Awakens to 34 ABY, the events of The Rise of Skywalker must occur in 35 ABY.
