**Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes** was an all-Bith music band that specialized in the genres of jatz. The bandleader and organizer was the overbearing, compulsive "Fiery" Figrin D'an. The Modal Nodes were members of the Intergalactic Federation of Musicians (IFM) and maintained a reputable standing within the trade guild. The band's matching stage costumes were somber in tone and reflected the moody aesthetics attributed to their preferred style of music. Although the Modal Nodes enjoyed success on the intergalactic circuit, they never rose to great prominence beyond the Outer Rim Territories, in part because they never incorporated vocalists into their act.
