The Invitational (Denali Station)
Denali Station welcomes the Aavaro Wilds and beyond for a good old-fashioned space race.
The Race
During the first leg of the race, all the contestants took off in a crowded field of 33 contenders, and a total of 8 Starfleet affiliated teams. Right off the bat, several teams kicked in their unique special attributes, including the Vela, a refurbished Caitian rescue craft which sprayed the entire field with Kryptilithium, a compound known to gum up impulse engines.
As the racers approached the city proper, preparing for a flyover of the city and the stadium where a large crowd was gathered to watch the race, one of the teams experienced engine problems and crashed in the forest on the outskirts of the city.
Spectators
Right in the middle of the crowd, many visitors to Denali and crew gathered to watch the race at the newly explored and refurbished Akycha Stadium. Many of them have seen the crash of the racer and are preparing to assist.
