The V-71 Ridge Piranha engine was a podracer engine produced by Hummel Carbine. Two of these engines powered Cy Yunga's podracer, and by 32 BBY they ended up in a junkyard on the Outer Rim planet Tatooine, which was owned by the Toydarian merchant Watto.
The engine initially appeared, without a specific name, in the Star Wars: Episode I Racer video game. Its name was later revealed in a video advertisement for Watto's shop, which was included on the Episode I Insider's Guide CD-ROM.
