Ratts Tyerell/Legends

Though he was the tiniest competitor in the Boonta Eve Classic, the warrior tradition of the Aleena gave Ratts Tyerell a warped honor code all his own. He found it unbearable that Sebulba had gotten to where he was by cheating, and vowed to eliminate the Dug, by cheating if necessary. Tyerell incorporated illegal weaponry into his Vokoff-Strood (nicknamed the “Scatalpen” after a vicious predator of Aleen) and entered it into the Podracing circuit. The irony of his move was not lost on many of the spectators, who viewed the Aleena as a joke. Other pilots, however, got along quite well with Tyerell – Sebulba being the obvious exception. Sadly, Tyerell lost his life when he crashed into a stalagmite in the Laguna Cave, before ever getting to exact justice upon the Dug. Worse, his brother then sold his daughter Djulla as a slave to none other than Sebulba himself. Tyerell’s son Deland, racing under the nickname “Pabs”, was able to win Djulla back from Sebulba on a bet that he could beat the Dug in a Podrace on Euceron. Later, Deland went on to form the Ratts Tyerell Association, an organization devoted to making Podracing a safer sport in order to preserve the lives of those pilots who had families to maintain in addition to Podracers.
