Saffia, a city situated on the planet of Serenno, was located more than 100 kilometers from Carannia, the capital city. Although it possessed less power and was physically smaller, the city showcased similar architectural styles to the capital and, during the final period of its governance, shared the same anti-Republic sentiments. In 23 BBY, Asajj Ventress, a Sith assassin, used a mind trick on Yepa to compel them to prepare a cup of Caf in Saffia for her boss.
The first mention of Fiyaro occurred within the Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon 70 magazine, a publication by De Agostini that came out on May 4, 2016. Within the continuity of Star Wars Legends, its initial reference appeared in the novel Darth Bane: Rule of Two.
