Niner raised a gloved hand from his lap. “Sir, what is the comm situation, exactly?”
“Neimoidians.”
“Not quite with you, sir.”
Zey looked blank for a moment, and then his face lit up with revelation. “The Neimoidians own and control all the infrastructure—the native population scarcely have pits for refreshers, but their overlords enjoy the finest comlink net and air traffic control that credits can buy. They like to ensure that nobody does business without their knowledge. So they monitor everything, and very little intelligence comes out—you’ll have to avoid using the long-range comlink. Do you understand me, soldier?”
“Sir, yes sir, General Zey.”

Niner doesn't have prejudice toward the Neimodians like the rest of the natborns do. I don't think the clones have the concept of racism and stereotypes just yet. This is why probably mentioning the neimoidians doesn't tell a single thing to Niner about what he needs to know. Anything they know about another species is the way how to kill them efficiently. “Sir, yes sir, General Zey.”

It really makes me wonder why Zey is actually perked up. He actually had something useful to share with the Commandos? Or it can be about this uncorruptedness?
