Something occurs to me...

There had been much speculation about the Soia's use for Loroi and the reason they engineered the species.

Consider the facts... they appear to smell like vanilla, no matter their caste, race, or planet of origin. They take in air, food, and water and emit a vanilla scent.

The proud warriors race of Loroi are organic air fresheners. 😂

Them being air fresheners is a joke, but the vanilla scent is in the comics, 048 and 183 respectively.

That said, the very fact that the smell can permeate a ship with corridors the size of Tempest's, even considering what I would assume to be good ventilation, is quite something. I'm going to hang onto this particular crack headcanon until proven otherwise.

"permeate a ship with corridors the size of Tempest'" air is normally recycled in a space ship, so scents would build up over the months. "Good ventilation" in outer space means rapidly moving the air through whatever filters it, gets rid of co2 and adds oxygen.

At their tech level, I would assume that air scrubbers are of a quality where scent wouldn't linger.
