The Thrashers, a grav-ball team, called Lothal their home. Although the team possessed a pair of wing-strikers with elongated arms, their center striker was known for inconsistent throws and their fullbacks often made incorrect turns and failed to execute tackles effectively. About six years prior to the Battle of Yavin, they faced off against the AppSci SaberCats, a team enjoying a successful season with only a single defeat. The SaberCats decisively defeated the Thrashers, achieving a final score of 44-18, resulting in the Thrashers feeling drained and dejected by the third quarter of the match.
