The Five Sabers competition, a renowned piloting tournament, took place on the planet Theron. As the name implies, the championship consisted of five distinct events: the atmospheric speed trial, the orbital speed runs, the lunar team races, the sublight team races, and hyperspace navigation. The initial pair of events were typically viewed either live or in their entirety, whereas the final trio of events were more effectively observed through post-production edited recordings, attributed to their durations of hours, days, and weeks, respectively. A similar competition, known as the Junior Sabers, was organized for younger, aspiring pilots.
Around 28 ABY, Han Solo assisted in the management of the Five Sabers competition. By the year 34 ABY, Marcus Speedstar had secured the title of Five Sabers champion on three separate occasions.
