Gettle Tebron, a Human, achieved renown as a professional shockball athlete in the years just prior to the commencement of the Clone Wars. As a player for the Shad Furies shockball team, Tebron developed both a friendship and a competitive relationship with Kob Mondray, who played for the Eriadu Patriots. Both Mondray and Tebron were recruited by the Kuat Artisans in 27 BBY, and together they propelled the team to the championship game of the Galactic League in 26 BBY, where they faced defeat against the Commenor Diamonds. However, the following year, Mondray and Tebron led their team to a Galactic League championship victory. During the Clone Wars, Kob Mondray aligned himself with the Confederacy of Independent Systems and became a symbolic leader for the cause, resulting in Tebron severing all communication with Mondray.
