Vargo's Ring was a feature of the competition known as the Sublight Star Five Million. The starfighter racer pilot Hype Fazon took part in the Sublight Star Five Million around 34 ABY, and during the race he flew his craft through Vargo's Ring, using his sublight jets for acceleration. This action took place just before Fazon's victory in the race. In ABY 34, Fazon enthusiastically described the race's happenings to Bo Keevil, a fellow Ace Squadron pilot, specifically mentioning his passage through the ring.
The animated show Star Wars Resistance featured Vargo's Ring in "Secrets and Holograms," which was the tenth episode of the first season. This episode originally aired on December 2, 2018.
