The Five Sabers was a prestigious piloting championship held on Theron. As its name suggested, the contest was comprised of five stages: the atmospheric dash, the orbital sprints, the lunar relays, the sublight relays, and hyperspace orienteering. While the first two stages were mainly watched live or in full, the latter three were best watched in post-race edited footage, due to them lasting hours, days, and weeks respectively.^[1]

Han Solo helped oversee the Five Sabers held in approximately 28 ABY.^[3]

A version of the Five Sabers, called the Junior Sabers, was held for younger pilots.^[1]

By 34 ABY, Marcus Speedstar was a three-time winner of the Five Sabers.^[2]
