The Nashal River Race was a swoop racing competition that was held annually on the world of Talus, in the Corellian system, during the height of the Galactic Civil War.
The race curved along the Krisa, Jeassa and Aximia riverbeds, which were located near the city of Nashal. According to the race coordinator, a 3PO-series protocol droid, the Nashal River Race was used primarily for recreation and youth races, with very few professional events having been staged for the track. Given that the track primarily stuck to major waterways around Nashal, it was impractical to use the track for mounts or foot racing. However, on a hover vehicle, it could be considered a delightful afternoon outing.
The Nashal River Race appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011. The Nashal River Race was added to the game with an update released on December 20, 2004.
