Trivia
While Tahiri and a Ryn are in the Bakuran subsystems, they refer to themselves as members of a cleaning gang, Yon, Gaitzi and Scod also known as tripod. This is a reference to the Australian Comedy band by the same name, and referencing to the stage names of the members. Though Gaitzi is spelt differently (Probably to give a more star wars feel to the name)
