Legend

this tourist destination was established on the planet Sullust, during the last years of the Old Republic, and allowed visitors to experience the inner workings of a volcano first-hand. Using specially designed and protected spheres, the LavaRide plunged visitors into the caldera of an active volcano. Transport ships with tight-beam tractor beams then pulled the sphere out of the lava before it could sink. During the early years of the New Republic, the owners of LavaRide Enterprises planned to implement a form of "lava-ball", where two players could maneuver their spheres around a caldera, in order to bump a third sphere into a goal area. The "sport" was deemed too dangerous by the initial inspectors, and development was placed on hold.
