The Ord Pedrovia served as a type of podracer model. In the Boonta Eve Classic race, which happened during the Invasion of Naboo, Gasgano, a Xexto pilot, raced with a green one. A camera was integrated into the rear of Gasgano's cockpit. This camera was linked to a holoscreen on the cockpit's control panel, enabling the Xexto pilot to monitor any rivals trying to overtake him. Gasgano exploited this feature during the Boonta race while battling the human pilot Anakin Skywalker, thwarting every attempt the Human made to pass him. Skywalker eventually surpassed Gasgano by flying his podracer over the Ord Pedrovia after dropping off a cliff. During the time of the Clone Wars, an Ishi Tib piloted their very own Ord Pedrovia in a race. This race was televised in a bar known as 79's, situated on the planet of Coruscant.
The Ord Pedrovia made its debut appearance in the 1999 movie Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. Several of the podracer's technical details were expanded upon in various sources that are now designated as belonging to the Star Wars Legends continuity, and thus are no longer considered part of official canon.
