Nemoidian pylat birds were a type of small avian native to Nemoidia. Pylat birds were sought after as pets, due to their beautiful plumage and song. Because of this, owning a pylat bird was a status symbol in Nemoidian culture. A rare pylat bird from the moon Sojourn played an important role in establishing the relationship between Darth Sidious and Nute Gunray.
