"What?! That heap of junk has a turbo-booster?! No fair!"
―Han Solo complains about the turbo-booster on Kuru's swoop[1]

Turbo-boosters were a type of propulsion device that provided a boost of speed and a burst of flame. The swoop racer Kuru used a swoop equipped with a turbo-booster.[1] Shortly after the Battle of Yavin that occurred in 0 ABY,[2] Kuru used the turbo-booster during a swoop race on the planet Rion allowing him to maintain his lead over his opponent Han Solo. Solo complained about Kuru's use of the device but ultimately won the race.[1]
