Theed was positively bustling with activity.
In the weeks leading up to the races, locals and foreigners alike had poured into the capital in droves - eagerly awaiting the festivities to come. The streets and stone archways were decorated in colorful streamers and banners, while the faces of competitors were projected in the Palace Plaza. Betting was already heavily underway, and excitement was at an all-time high.
As one could expect, small boats and pleasurecraft had flooded into the Solleu to get as close to the action as possible. Hundreds watched from within Cafés or their own covered balconies across Theed, while even more congregated to the banks and bridges of the canals - unconcerned by the risk of rain rumbling in the skies above.
One of Theed’s many outdoor spaces - situated just overlooking the canals - had been designated for just the occasion. Tables and seating were scattered across the greenery, with boat-access to the river only a few paces away. An outdoor bar was manned by multiple droids and local attendants, while Holo-projectors provided coverage of every angle of the races for viewers to enjoy.
The boom of fireworks in the distance - coupled with the voice of announcers from the distant starting line - signified that the races would just shortly be underway.
