In the series XI episode "Krysis" (2016), six gunships belonging to the Sakken Yakko tribe of GELFs attack "Starbug". "Starbug" fails to outrun them and the GELFs disables its engines. One Sakken Yakko called Equahecte (played by Steven Wickham) prepares to, but upon realising the 3000 Series mechanoid Butler is on board, he kindly escorts "Starbug" to safety. Butler explains that Equahecte made Butler the godfather of Equahecte's daughter after Butler helped Equahecte's sick tribe. They speak in a different dialect to the Kinitawowi, which Kryten and the other crewmembers on "Starbug" find difficult to speak.
