Karee Blockade Clutch

OnACanonArticle

"Brantis Mo Fresk! Unparalleled in his flight artistry! His ship the Vorantis beat the Brightfox in the Karee Blockade Clutch this year! That's correct, ladies and gents, you heard me right!"
―Brantis Mo Fresk's barker[2]

The Karee Blockade Clutch was an event that took place[2] in 7 ABY[1] and shared its name with the Expansion Region's Karee system.[3] During the event, the Vorantis—a ship owned by the pilot Brantis Mo Fresk—beat the starship Brightfox. Later that year, when the New Republic operative Han Solo and his friend Lando Calrissian visited Frander's Bay—a space station that orbited the Core Worlds planet Chandrila—in search of an unaffiliated pilot to hire, Mo Fresk's barker mentioned the pilot's victory in the Karee Blockade Clutch into one of Solo's ears as an example of his exploits and skills. Solo and Calrissian ultimately hired the pilot Taka Jamoreesa.[2]
