Deland Tyerell was the son[1] of famed Aleena[2] podracer Ratts Tyerell, who was killed during the 32 BBY Boonta Eve Classic. After his father's death, Deland founded the Ratts Tyerell Foundation, an organization dedicated to exposing the dangerous aspects of podracing. Due to his campaigning, the sport saw a sharp decline in viewership by 22 BBY and was eventually banned in the Core Worlds.[1]
