Galactic Games

Galactic Games are something like our Olympic games, but focused mostly on riding races.

Each race have team of 10 members, five of which are riders, and five - their mounts.

According to rules of the competition each mount should be native to the race that it belongs to.

Exceptions are:

• extincted species;
• endangered species;
• lack thereof.

Possible solution*:

• adopted species (but not a duplicate of someone else's participating species);
• species that are already a part of one of the race's colonies (they share the same territory with the race, but are not native to it).

*Wild-captured, untamed and vicious animals are forbidden at the Galactic Games.

The game is divided into five main stages:

• Introduction (all teams are interviewed by "galactic TV").
• Trial (takes place at orbital stadium).
• Landing (first round, takes place at planet's** surface that been specifically chosen for the concrete season of the GG).
• Survival (second round, fear not, no one dies here).
• Finale (third, last round - winners from the previous round compete among themselves; announcement of the winner of Galactic Games; victory march; festival of closing).

**Each season Orbital Stadium travels to different planet to fulfill theme of the season (it could be sand or snow deserts, jungle etc.)

• Century - Inth
• Decade - Orta
• Year - Setkht
• Month - Khont
• Week - Sheerth
• Day - Shor

• Minute - Tis
• Second - Sittha

Compared to Earth:

• 1 Shor =  1.92 Earth days
• 1 Sheerth (consists of 5 Shors) = 9.6 Earth days
• 1 Khont (consists of 9 Sheerths or 45 Shors) = 86.4 Earth days
• 1 Setkht (consists of 10 Khonts or 90 Sheerths or 450 Shors) = 864 Earth days (about 2.3 years)

Back to...

Galactic Games are held every five setkhts, thus each team have time to prepare themselves for the next season.

And here I found an old work regarding GG - "Utrara rider" (gastar on the top of utrara - native animal of Vasmara - home planet for both of them):
