- "It's just like a trick we used on Alderaan. Used to keep night-lether flocks from flying into the tallest buildings."
- ―Azlin Rell
A night-lether was a type of flying creature found on the Core Worlds[1] planet[2] Alderaan during the High Republic Era. They flew in flocks and navigated by sensing magnetic fields.[1] By 382 BBY,[3] Jedi Knight Azlin Rell and his astromech droid, C-9, used reconfigured comms beacons to keep night-lether flocks from flying into tall buildings on Alderaan.[1] That year,[3] while carrying out the same trick to divert a herd of grass sharks, which also navigated by magnetic fields, away from a trade post on the planet Tiikae, Rell recalled the time he and C-9 had used it to keep night-lethers from flying into tall Alderaan buildings to Jedi Padawan Kevmo Zink.[1]
