While in Lonisa City in 229 BBY, the Nihil recruit Driggit Parse confronted the pirate Zyle Keem for being out past the world's occupation curfew. When Keem stated that they had come as a tourist to visit Valo's blossoming sofra trees, she called the pirate out for lying, as the trees only bloomed when it was snowing.
