Teeloo Teeloo was a male Rodian pilot who owner the " Neeva - Beelo " , a YT - 1210 transport during the time of the Clone Wars . Biography . In 32 BBY , Teeloo had a large family , with six sisters , four brothers , and at least one aunt and one uncle . He also had an undetermined number of cousins , who were disliked by their father . An uncle gave him a ship , the YT - 1210 light transport " Neeva - Beelo " , mostly to annoy Teeloo ' s cousins , who were looking forward to inherit it . His uncle also gave him some basic flying lessons and a small cargo , which consisted of a few animal skins , Rodian ale , and some other items , to get started in a business . Teeloo accepted the gifts , but he believed his cousins were very angry at it . Teeloo ' s plan was to take his mother , aunt , and siblings with him when he made a jump to the system where he wanted to work the rest of his life , and stay there — He hated astrogating . One night Teeloo heard somebody trying to get into the " Neeva - Beelo " , and thinking it was his cousins , he took off . He looked for an out - of - the - way system to go to , and found the Cularin system . His hyperdrive blew out when he reverted from hyperspace . Looking for a place to repair , he went to Tolea Biqua . Unfortunately , Teeloo ' s inexperience with flying meant he did not notice a small snubfighter near his ship as he turned toward his approach vector — He believed sensors would automatically report that without him checking them out . He rammed the fighter , which belonged to a member of the Blood Raptors gang , sending it spinning off . He laid low in his ship for a day , but he needed to sell his cargo and get started on repairs , so he eventually left the " Neeva - Beelo " . When he did , the Blood Raptors were waiting . The Raptors , led by Scar Blenner , roughed Teeloo up and took his cargo . They also said they were going to take his ship if he did not beat one of them in a race through Eskaron the next day . If he did manage to win , they said they would return his cargo — although they intended to keep Teeloo ' s ship no matter the race . The cargo had already been taken away and the Blood Raptors were just giving him a little more roughing up to remember them by when a group of Cularin ' s heroic individuals happened by and chased off the Raptors . Teeloo ' s rescuers offered to help him win the race . They might have repaired several of the " Neeva - Beelo " ' s many problems and crewed his ship during the race against the Raptor pilot Gael Kinner . The race covered The Spiral , Skinning the Mynock and the Cavern of Teeth in Eskaron and then , the first pilot to get out of the planet could choose the final part : Either go through the Cularin system asteroid belt and back , or visit the dangerous city of Nub Saar before returning to Tolea Biqua . During the middle of the race , Teeloo ' s opponent ended up destroying a ship in another race which was sponsored by Cularin ' s crimelord , Nirama . This brought Teeloo to Nirama ' s attention . They also had a brush with the local pirates , who operated from the asteroid belt . The " Neeva - Beelo " ended up winning the race , but the Blood Raptors were going to take the ship anyway . Nirama ' s men interrupted the fight , and took all involved before Nirama . The crimelord determined that the Blood Raptors were responsible for the destruction of his ship , and punished them . To Teeloo , he offered to repair the " Neeva - Beelo " completely , and Teeloo could work for him to pay off the debt . Teeloo was grateful to Nirama for the opportunity , and worked for him loyally , despite having to sometimes become a smuggler . His service for Nirama was not exclusive , and he did other work around the Cularin system , including some work for Renna ' s Transport Service . Teeloo and Renna became friends and eventually became romantically involved . Teeloo ' s loyalty to Nirama became his doom when Riboga the Hutt moved to take back control of Cularin ' s crime toward the end of the Clone Wars . Riboga targeted those who worked for Nirama , and Teeloo was killed . Personality and traits . Teeloo was a kind - hearted and likable Rodian . He was not extremely bright , but was loyal and reliable . He could be proud – he would not let Renna pay off his debt to Nirama for him . He spoke Basic with a lisp . His running from Rodia on short notice changed his plan to take his family with him . It is unknown if he went back for them before the Cularin system disappeared for almost a decade .
