Mechanic's code

In 34 ABY, a mechanic's code was developed by Nikto Neeku Vozo and human Tamara Ryvora, mechanics aboard the Colossus station, to discuss fellow mechanic Kazuda Xiono's lack of mechanical skills and knowledge in secret. The code used a series of beeps and whistles as a form of communication and could be used as shorthand for emergencies.

Later that year, Ryvora connected her comlink to MSE droid 5-L to transmit a message to Xiono's comlink in the code—requesting to meet him in three cycles on the planet Castilon. When Xiono did not understand the sounds coming from his comlink, Vozo identified that the message was in the code which he had created with Ryvora. After Vozo explained the code's origins, Xiono was shocked but was more concerned with understanding the message. Vozo then translated the message into Basic for Xiono.
