A lily pad was a type of aquatic plant floating on bodies of water.[4] While some lily pads were closer to the size of regular plant leaves,[3] others could be giant sized.[7] In 228 BBY,[8] the anti-Nihil operative Cair San Tekka sat on a broad ruffled lily pad in the central water garden of the planet Rilias II, where he was preparing to broadcast a message recorded by Jedi Master Avar Kriss. While sitting on the lily pad, San Tekka pretended he could feel the Force connecting him to it.[4]
