Tzidik Wrantojo, hailing from the planet of Archae Teuthis, was a Sulituan who made his mark as a professional Podracer pilot around 24 BBY. Piloting a Podracer of the Wellos and Allos 825 model, he achieved considerable fame on the Nightlands racetrack of Ryloth, becoming a beloved figure among the local Twi'leks. His primary racing circuit was the Hutt Championships, which took him to various planets like Tatooine, Mon Calamari, and Gamorr.
In 22 BBY, controversies surrounding Podracing led the HoloNet News to seek Wrantojo's opinion on racer safety and the sport's appeal. The seasoned pilot suggested that the sport's allure stemmed from its inherent danger, attracting thrill-seeking spectators.
Tzidik Wrantojo, a Sulituan male born on Archae Teuthis, a planet, embraced a life defined by speed and risk. After departing his homeworld, Wrantojo honed his piloting talents in Podracing, entering the competitive arena sometime before the year 24 BBY.
Driving a Wellos and Allos 825 Podracer, Wrantojo quickly impressed with his skill and the vehicle's remarkable speed and handling. He soon ascended to the top ranks, captivating audiences with his presence on the track. His sudden rise made the Sulituan somewhat of a mystery within the sport. Wrantojo eventually became a favorite on the Nightlands racecourse of Ryloth, a prominent stop on the Hutt Championships circuit. As such, Wrantojo primarily focused on the Hutt Championships, a series of five races across the Outer Rim Territories, where he set several records.
The Hutt Championships commenced on Sullust, at the Serres Sarrano track within the city of Serres Sarrano. Wrantojo held the fastest lap and three-lap race records there, with times of 1:08.97 minutes and 3:48.74 minutes, respectively. At the Grand Reefs track on Mon Calamari, Mars Guo was the local favorite, but Wrantojo held the best three-lap time at 4:15.93 minutes, while Guo held no records. Wrantojo had no records at The Citadel, the next race in the Championships. On his preferred Nightlands course, Wrantojo had the third-best three-lap time at 3:54.43 minutes, behind Anakin Skywalker's 3:41.95 minutes. The season concluded with the Boonta Eve Classic on Tatooine, where Wrantojo had the third-best single lap time at 1:51.24 minutes. Sebulba held the top spot with 1:35.48 minutes.
Two years later, the HoloNet News interviewed Wrantojo about the growing concerns surrounding Podracing, and he stated that the sport's danger was a major draw for spectators, despite pilots claiming that racer safety was a priority.
Tzidik Wrantojo was a pragmatic Podracer, aware of the risks inherent in the sport and its appeal to audiences. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Wrantojo wasn't overly aggressive and didn't prioritize eliminating opponents. Instead, he focused on speed, which his Wellos and Allos Podracer excelled at. This approach led to numerous time records across various tracks. However, he was prepared to defend his position if threatened. Wrantojo held a low opinion of pilots who participated in the Pouffra Circuit.
As a Sulituan, Wrantojo possessed the natural ability to move swiftly and gracefully through water. He had brown leathery skin with bluish tints around his face and limbs, and yellow-green eyes.
Wrantojo's racing talent surprised many in the years leading up to 24 BBY. He became a captivating figure on the track and gained a following on Ryloth. His quick reflexes, essential for piloting a Podracer, allowed him to complete and survive numerous races. He also set several speed records before the season's end.
Tzidik Wrantojo's preferred racing vehicle was a Wellos and Allos 825 Podracer, known for its powerful accelerator, good handling, and effective cooling system. Its durability made it a valuable machine combining speed, agility, and strength. The Podracer's colors mirrored those on Wrantojo's flag. The engines were primarily bright red with silver accents, while the engine fins had cyan streaks. The engine noses were purple and silver, and the cockpit was dark blue with red stripes.
Tzidik Wrantojo debuted in the PlayStation 2 video game Star Wars: Racer Revenge as one of twenty-three playable characters. Developed by LucasArts and Rainbow Studios, the game was released in February 2002. Gregg Berger voiced Wrantojo, as well as Wan Sandage Jr. Players could unlock Wrantojo by finishing ahead of him or eliminating him on the Nightlands track, making him the second-to-last unlockable character in the game's tournament mode.
The character's species and homeworld, along with aspects of his backstory, were detailed in the game's strategy guide, Star Wars: Racer Revenge: Prima's Official Strategy Guide. He was later mentioned in a HoloNet News article in March 2002, shortly after the game's release. The name "Sulituan" is "nautilus" spelled backward, referencing the real-world species that inspired Wrantojo's design.
