What's the coolest alien sport?

TL;DRXi'an endurance racing, where winners slow their body functions and are highly revered, is the main alien sport named, alongside the Banu's love of Sataball, where some play professionally.

We've got a few so far. Probably the most apparent one, and I don't even know how to pronounce it, is basically Xi'an endurance racing. Cherie, I'm not sure if you... the Kaikola.

It's Kaikoya.

So the endurance race the Xi'an have is, as we talked about, their operas being extremely long and their music being slow and stuff like that. Because I think it's endothermic, they're able to slow their heart rate to a certain pace. So the Xi'an endurance race is about seeing a long, long race where the best racers basically are able to slow their body functions down to a certain point. It's obviously maybe not the most exciting from a human or Banu perspective, but it does take a lot of skill, and basically the winners of that in Xi'an society are very highly regarded, because being able to do this well and control your body like that, and to meditate while still operating the ship over long distances, is very revered. So that's one sport type thing that we put in. The Banu are also, like you said, big fans of sport and Sataball in general. Even though that's not their sport, they love to watch, and Banu are even professional Sataball players within the UEE, because they've taken to this sport so much.
