Legend

this Aleena and his brother, Deland, were podracers during the years following the Battle of Naboo. Born on Tatooine, Doby and Deland got their start racing in unsanctioned, often illegal, podraces, such as the event that was held in the Great Dordon Caves of the planet Euceron during the Galactic Games. It was during their pre-race preparations that Doby and Deland met fourteen-year-old Anakin Skywalker. They seemed genuinely concerned that their sister, Djulla, was a slave to Sebulba, and that they were working to win the podrace in order to win her freedom. It was later discovered by Obi-Wan Kenobi that Doby and Deland had been in league with Maxo Vista and the rigging of the podrace. Their speeder was to have received advance information about the course, so that they could win the race in the end, despite the accident which Maxo Vista had planned. When Deland was hurt and Anakin agreed to help out by driving, Maxo Vista decided to use his speeder for the accident as well. This would cause an explosion and get rid of the Jedi. However, Maxo Vista was arrested before he could do any real harm, and Anakin managed to keep the disabled podracer from doing any damage to the spectators.
