What kind of sports does /sw/ have? I think its only robots who participate because teams made up of diverse species would have unfair advantages, also there's games played by non-sentient species.

The sport feature in the first viewing screen in this post >>22250

is called Nuna-ball. Basically like football but played only by droids since killing your opponents is allowed and droids are easier to replace. The objective of the game is to throw around a Nuna, a small lizard creature that inflates like a blowfish and makes sad but hilarious screams, and reach the goal with the creature while avoiding decapitation or dismemberment. Despite that droids were preferred to avoid loss of players, meatbags were pissed at this because they saw it as droids stealing their jobs.

Grav-Ball or Hoverball was pretty popular. Its basically like basketball, football and wrestling played in zero G.

Smashball was said to be one of the most violent Core World sports. Basically like football on the ground but part of the game is to smash the crap out of everyone around you to preserve the ball.

Limmie or Bolo-Ball is about kicking a ball and pretending to be hurt ie SW soccer. It was not very popular and even the major Core Worlds thought it was lame, except Alderaan which hosted the galactic Limmie tournaments before they got btfo. Get'shuk is a variant of Bolo-Ball played by Mandalorians except you're allowed to use your hands and violence, a little like Rugby.

Phrenbi was like Hockey and Lacross except more violent and on unstable terrain instead of solid ice, and instead of wooden/plastic sticks, you use metal polearms resembling real life Tsukubō weapons or claws on a stick. And the majority of players were the beastly Whiphids. Another variant of the sport involved riding around on Banthas. If more than 15 players were seriously injured, the game was cancelled. Repulsor puck was Phrenbi for pussies and more like regular hockey but in zero G.

Gamorreans consider nerf-throwing a sport where they basically use nerfs (basically beastly alien buffalo) as projectiles and see how far they can throw them maintaining an accurate target.

Shockball is like jai alai but with painful electrocution.

Puttie was considered the most boring sport in the galaxy. May be golf. Tokyo Star Tours implied a form of golf also exists.

Uvak-riding was basically dragon riding where players had to wrangle and tame vicious Uvaks outfitted with several sharp prongs. The Uvaks had their wings clipped to keep them from escaping the stadiums.

Sandsurfing was a thing.

Z-Slam referred to any sporting event that involved wanton destruction and challenging the terrain, like demolition derbies.

Those are all I know.

It's a slow board. Not much of an accomplishment.

>limmie

>Sev didn’t have a clue what he meant, but nodded sympathetically. Then he left and put distance between the office and himself as quickly as he could. Boss and the others ambushed him halfway down the corridor.

“Well?” Scorch demanded. “Did he buy it?”

“I think so.”

Fixer snorted. “Not much else he can do, is there?”

“We got a day off out of it,” Sev said. “Which is better than a thrashing from Vau, so shut up and make the most of it.”

Delta took a shortcut across the parade ground to get to their quarters. In the late-afternoon sun, the newly re-formed Omega Squad—no Darman, but with the new guy from EOD who could do really dangerous knife tricks with his prosthetic hands—were playing limmie with Ordo and Mereel. Skirata had joined in. They played it hard, what Vau called the Mando way, shoulder-charging and tackling one another with complete disregard for injury, kicking the spherical ball high into the air. It was about the size of a man’s head—Sev did a double take to be sure it wasn’t actually a real head—and it cannoned against the wall of the barracks to loud whoops and cries of “Oya! Ori’mesh’la!

None of them, except Skirata, was in armor. They weren’t even in red GAR fatigues, just assorted civilian clothing they must have picked up on the last mission. There were no team colors. If Sev hadn’t recognized them as his clone brothers, he would have taken them for Mandalorians whiling away the time between invasion and pillage rather than fellow commandos letting off steam.

They suddenly struck him as very foreign, and that surprised him: Vau had taught Delta all the Mandalorian customs and language, just as Skirata had taught his commando squads, but somehow at that moment Omega and the Nulls seemed very much more Mandalorian mercs than men of the Grand Army.

“So,” Boss said, as if reading his mind, “if we got in a ruck with a bunch of real Mando’ade, whose side do you reckon they’d be on?”

Sev shrugged. “Who do you think killed the Mand’ade we found in Ko Sai’s hideout?”

“You don’t know who did that,” Fixer said.

“Yeah, and neither do you.”

Scorch put a stop to the speculation. “Vode an. Brothers, all. Okay?”

Delta Squad each managed a casual acknowledgment and Sev expected Skirata to try to talk them into joining the game, but he didn’t. The six men carried on, oblivious, with the occasional shout or comment in Mando’a, and they might as well have been in Keldabe, not Galactic City.

It was … unsettling. It was also oddly tempting in a way that Sev didn’t want to think about.

Commandos were all on the same side. Sev was sure of it. And for the time being, so were the Nulls, although they were a law unto themselves. Whatever eccentricities they had, they were totally loyal, obeying Skirata to the letter. Skirata paused, trapping the ball under one boot, and seemed to notice Sev for the first time.

Copaani geroy?” he asked, totally Mando. Want to play?

“ No thanks,” Sev said. “I’ll stick to my embroidery. Looks a bit rough. I bruise easy.” Delta Squad walked on, leaving behind a scene that for a few moments could easily have been unfolding on Mandalore, and not in the heart of the Republic. “Just as well they’re on our side,” said Boss. “Yeah,” said Sev. “It is.”
