Legend

this Drall was one of Coruscant's most colorful criminals, organizing a series of outlaw racing events across the cityworld's surface during the years leading up to the Clone Wars. The name "Zip Beeline" was just a pseudonym, created during his early career as a professional racer. He legally changed his name after the fans started screaming for his autograph as soon as he crossed the finish line. An accident during a speeder race on Boonta, caused by Beeline during a championship final, earned his the ire of his fans, forcing him to retire to Coruscant. After spending a few nights at the nightclubs drinking Corellian lum, Beeline was approached to serve as a ringer in the illegal garbage pit races held on the planet. Although he worked for the crimelords, Beeline remained an honest competitor, preferring to use his skills to beat an opponent instead of sabotage.
