12th Solassi Interzonals Challenge Match


A showdown within the Core Gladiator Walker League, the 12th Solassi Interzonals Challenge Match took place sometime between 2 BBY and 1 ABY. In this event, Demelza's Destructors and Hansor's Hooligans went head-to-head. The gladiator walkers piloted by Hooligans' captain, Madrix Hansor, and Destructors' Jandri Garn sustained such significant damage during the competition that the match concluded in a tie. By the time two years had passed, this remained the sole instance of competition between the two rival teams.

Prelude

The gladiator walker competition known as the 12th Solassi Interzonals Challenge Match was a Core Gladiator Walker League event. Named after the Core Worlds Solassus system, it occurred between 2 BBY and 1 ABY. Demelza's Destructors and Hansor's Hooligans were the teams involved, with a fierce rivalry existing between both teams and their captains, Demelza Mintori and Madrix Hansor.

The match

During the course of the match, the gladiator walkers of Hansor and Demelza's key player, Jandri Garn, incurred so much damage that the contest was declared a draw. Consequently, neither participant progressed to the next stage.

Aftermath

The 12th Solassi Interzonals Challenge Match turned out to be the only time that members of Demelza's Destructors and Hansor's Hooligans had faced off against each other by the time that, two years later, the Hooligans issued a personal challenge to the Destructors. Furthermore, the historic match was later mentioned in a news report featured in the fiftieth-anniversary edition of Galladinium's Galactic Datalog of Fantastic Technology.
