-Frame Runnng is an international vehicular racing/combat sport enjoying moderate public attention at this time. Originally of Lorath origin, it involves the use of modified repurposed military surplus frames (3-5 meter tall mecha with fighter-like plasma engines) which are then raced along the ground and through the air over bizzare three dimensional courses many kilometers long while battling for physical supremacy in a mixture with the gladiatorial aggression of stock racing, the technical finesse and sophistication of high-class auto-racing, the texture in maneuvering of boat-racing, the sheer speed of fighter-jets, the sheer violence of ice-hockey, the grappling and striking of mixed martial arts and the larger than life personalities of pro-wrestling.

 ==== Monthly Tours ====
-Monthly Tours serve as the bread and butter, leaning toward the more entertainment-like aspects as a sort of touring theatre troupe of Frame-Racing Combat (or Running) and are usually where pilots will learn their trade. Moving around the world, or even across planets and systems, renting tracks produced by the AGP, building their own makeshift tracks or re-purposing existing equipment and locations rented legally from city states. Here, most of the "larger than life" personalities take form and the majority of teams perform on this level.

Here, most of the "larger than life" personalities take form and the majority of teams perform on this level. There are four types of races in the monthly tours.
+  * **Showdown** - 2 teams, 3 frames per team.
+  * **Fullrun** - Up to 6 4 man teams
+  * **Baton Pass** - Races with obstacles graded into different types so each member engages their strength individually.
+  * **Ace league** - races involving single team members, up to 20.
