History[]
The Vulptereen 327 was the model name of a type of podracer, which was a repulsorcraft vehicle utilized in racing events. The Vulptereen 327 was developed by the Vulptereen race and piloted at the Boonta Eve Classic in 32 BBY by Dud Bolt. During the third lap of the race, Dud Bolt slammed his podracer against the one driven by Bumpy Roose, which caused not only Roose's Plug-8G 927 Cluster Array engine pod to crash, but wrecked Bolt's Vulptereen 327 as well.
