During the Age of the Empire, the Small Craft Flight course at the Royal Imperial Academy was led by a human flight commander. Once, he devised a training scenario where Imperial cadets navigated speeder bikes through the Reitgen Hoops within Galactic City. In this particular exercise, Ciena Ree and Thane Kyrell found their speeders intertwined, yet remarkably, they still secured victory. Although frustrated that they had exploited a technicality, the commander begrudgingly granted them each twenty-five marks, dividing the reward evenly.
