Podracer engines were engines built for podracers. The restaurant owner Bakkar used a podracer engine to cook ronto meat at Ronto Roasters on the planet Batuu.[2]
Description
Developing into the modern Podracer engine circa 100 BBY, these engines came in three varieties: rocket motors, turbine engines, and high-performance ion engines. Salvaged, rebuilt, and scrapped, Podracer engines were converted from the wrecks of starfighters, turbofans, and airspeeders. Hand-built and often custom jobs, it wasn't until closer to the time of the rise of the Galactic Empire that factory customs were designed and marketed as Podracer engines.[1]
