Stassia Classic

OnALegendsArticle

"While Ominaz won't see action until the Stassia Classic, Arrogantus will look to claim the top seed next month on Corsin at the Plooriod 940."
―HoloNet News article spotlighting Ignar Ominaz, a member of Team Millennium Holos[1]

The Stassia Classic was a swoop race that was part of the galactic[1] TransGal circuit.[2] Hosted on Stassia, a planet in the Core Worlds known for swoop races,[4] it was preceded by a race on the planet Corulag and took place after a respite period for the circuit, the racsan break. After they emerged victorious on Corulag[1] in 22 BBY,[3] the professional swoop jockeys of Team Millennium Holos, including Ignar Ominaz, planned to compete in the Stassia Classic.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Stassia Classic was mentioned in HoloNet News Vol. 531 #54, an in-universe website issue[1] published on May 2, 2002.[5] Pablo Hidalgo and Paul Ens wrote the site content.[6]
