Teemto Pagalies/Legends

Teemto Pagalies was a male Veknoid podracer pilot who participated in the Boonta Eve Classic race in 32 BBY.

Biography
Considered handsome by Veknoid standards, Teemto Pagalies was exiled from his home planet after unwittingly attracting the attention of a beautiful Veknoid princess and resisting her attempts at matrimony. Subsequently, he became a fringer, desperately trying to find work in the Outer Rim Territories, but he could find solace nowhere. As a last resort (some might say as a suicide attempt) Pagalies tried Podracing, and he finally found his talent. He used an IPG-X1131 Longtail.

When he came to Tatooine, he became infatuated with the lovely Ann Gella, a masseuse of Sebulba, but couldn’t get her to notice him. He also managed to buy a slave Rodian mechanic from Mars Guo called Pax Bonkik. Teemto Pagalies also attended Boles Roor's glimmik concert prior to the race, in which he found out that Mars Guo was hitting on Ann Gella, offering to take her away from the planet if he won the race. Frustrated, Teemto told Sebulba about the affair and the notorious Dug took Guo out during the race in retaliation.



In the arena lounge before the race, Pagalies had more than a few Juri juices. A professional hitman named Jym Lang had been hired by Jabba Desilijic Tiure to assassinate the unsuspecting, half-drunken Veknoid in the betting room. However, Lang was manipulated against comitting the murder by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's Mind tricks moments before he had plotted to carry out the deed.

Of the pilots who entered the Boonta Eve Classic, Pagalies’ Podracer boasted the longest engines, and he was confident that between this and the internal stablizer ring built into his Pod, Pagalies Podracer was technologically superior and could not help but win. Unfortunately, his lofty theories were proved incorrect by a well-placed Sandpeople potshot from Orr Agg R'orr, destroying his engines and sending his Pod whirling into the air. Pagalies sustained some injuries from the incident, but recovered fairly quickly and soon returned to the races. He came to be known for trying daring stunts and became a great crowd pleaser. Though he jumped around Podracing planets for a while, he eventually settled on the spice-mining world of Mon Gazza, where the long, open tracks were perfect for the feats he was able to coax out of his Podracer. Some time later, Teemto won the Aleen Classic and planned to use the prize money to buy Ann Gella's freedom from Sebulba. But since he knew that his mechanic's brother, Trax Bonkik was also owned by Sebulba, he used the money instead to buy Trax's freedom in the last moment; therefore reuniting the brothers.Along with mars guo he also had an intrest in the Twi'Lek slave-girl, ann gella
