The United Republic Shock Legionnaires claimed the GravBall Championship this week in a commanding victory against the Centauri Comets. The final, held on Centauri Prime, drew one of the largest interstellar audiences in the sport’s history.

Fans celebrated across plazas from Bastion to Nova Terra as the military-affiliated squad lifted the trophy. Republic officials praised the event as “a symbol of discipline and unity,” noting that the Legionnaires’ success reflected the Republic’s values of strength and perseverance.

Local taverns in Perseus Sector broadcast the match live, with many civilians cheering alongside deployed service members. For one night, GravBall offered what commentators called “a shared heartbeat of the Republic.”
