Tyerell's FamilyRatts Tyerell was a male Aleena Podracer who participated in the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine in 32 BBY. Born on the planet Aleen Minor, Tyerell had incredible reflexes, which made him an adept Podracer. For several years, he built up his reputation and became well-liked by the other regular racers. He was furious at the way fellow racer Sebulba found his success through cheating and vowed to kill the Dug racer. However, Tyerell perished in the Boonta Eve Classic - his engines were too large for the tight confines of the Laguna Caves, causing him to crash. His son went on to found the Ratts Tyerell Foundation, which attempted to outlaw the sport of Podracing.
