Legend

this male Euceron was a noted athlete, perhaps most famous for winning five events at the Galactic Games on Berrun just before the Battle of Naboo. Among his greatest victories was in the swoop race, where he unexpectedly set a galactic record for the fastest run through a holograhpic obstacle course. He later served as a Galactic Games official when they were held on his homeworld of Euceron seven years later. After the death of timekeeper Aarno Dering and the discovery a plot to implicate Old Republic Senators in gambling and other felonies, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that it was Maxo Vista who had killed Dering and nearly assassinated the Jedi Knights who were on Euceron to help preserve the peace during the Games. Vista was able to capture Obi-Wan and force him to participate in a holographic obstacle course, hoping to kill the Jedi while he himself was well-prepared for the event. Obi-Wan embarrased him, though, and Maxo Vista was forced to flee Eusebus in shame. Unfortunately for Maxo Vista, the Jedi Knights also discovered that he was behind the rigging of the illegal podraces being staged in the Great Dordon Caves, which were to smash into a crowded part of the city. Obi-Wan and Siri Tachi, also on Euceron, brought Maxo Vista to the Ruling Council for judgement. Further investigation into Maxo Vista's dealing revealed that he had been submitted to membership to the Commerce Guild by Liviani Sarno, as part of the plan to discredit the Senators who were voting against the Guild. Unfortunately for the Jedi, Maxo Vista was allowed to go free when Big Dividian refused to testify against him. Worst of all, he was never tried for the murder of Aarno Dering.
