Soka flies were a type of buzzing fly that could travel in groups. After being wounded in a battle against the Nihil marauder organization at the Cyclor Shipyards[1] in 231 BBY,[2] Jedi Padawan Bell Zettifar felt that everyone around him was constantly checking on his welfare, similar to soka flies swarming around.[1]
