- "Naturally we were hoping to win, especially in front of the home-planet crowd."
- ―Coruscanti Captain Jipoly Numifolis, about their game against Team Fondor
Team Fondor was a limmie sport team that played for[1] the Colonies planet[2] Fondor.[1] In 22 BBY,[3] Team Fondor competed in the Galactic Cup of Limmie, where they were matched against the inexperienced team of the planet Coruscant in the opening round. When Fondor ultimately won three to one at the Coruscanti home stadium, the BlasTech Gikosphere, the Coruscant team's captain Jipoly Numifolis expressed their dissatisfaction with the tournament's result in "Coruscant Eliminated in Galactic Cup Opening Round," a news story published in CoCo District Edition of the HoloNet News.[1]
