SOLAR EXPLORER
Saturn
As the second largest Gas Giant, Saturn’s atmosphere is covered with floating cities and the best mechanics this side of the Milky Way. She was originally sought after for the use of her famous series of rings, which are actually billions of pieces of ice, dust and rocks. Some of these particles are as small as a grain of salt, while others are as big as houses. The gravity of Saturn's moons helps keep all of those pieces in place as they orbit the planet, creating the perfect race track! The easy access to spare parts, cheap manufacturing, and one of a kind engineers with innovative production ability has led to the amazing Hot Rodding Starship Team. They control the use of the inner rings for Galactic racing, a point of pride that any of the locals will be happy to brag about! Billions of tourists flock to the planet to witness the never ending thrill rides and trademark space races. There isn't anything that can’t be built here, it's almost tradition to build your own junk craft to get around. However, the locals know that with thrills comes danger, so seatbelts, safety restrictions, and fair play is the law of the land. Learn to refurbish your space craft and get ready to race!

When you aren’t busy winning space races or decking out your ride, cruise the city in eco-friendly style on this fusion powered hoverboard. It is extremely popular among the youth of Saturn, who often race alongside the rings on their own makeshift track. Make sure you look both ways before entering orbit!

No one is allowed to race without the proper safety gear, a rule the people of Saturn uphold with pride. After winning the Saturn 500, you received these heat resistant racing gloves. Stylish, trendy, and capable of withstanding up to 6000K without burning their wearer.
