Legend

this was the name given to the thousand war-robots assigned to guard the Queen of Ranroon as she lay hidden on Dellalt, in the wake of the death of Xim the Despot. The Guardian Corps' primary mission was to defend the site of the Queen of Ranroon until the High Command could arrive and ensure that her contents were safely stored in Xim's vaults. If the secret of the ship's location and contents were ever discovered, the Guardian Corp was ordered to eliminate any intrusion. The Guardian Corps was under the command of the Corps Commander, who ultimately was commanded by the Survivors. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Guardian Corps was called to duty to protect the Queen of Ranroon from the mining operations of J'uoch and R'all. The entire Guardian Corps marched on the miners, obliterating their entire operation. The only survivors of the attack were Han Solo, his companions, and Gallandro. Solo's group managed to reach a barracks on the other side of a bridge, and the Corps Commander ordered the Guardian Corps to cross the bridge and destroy the barracks. Bollux and Blue Max, however, had anticipated this final assault, and arranged to destroy the bridge as soon as the entire Guardian Corps was on it. The two droids were able to communicate with the Corps Commander, and ordered him to increase the marching paces of the war-robots until their footfalls set up a harmonic tremor that shook the bridge to pieces. In the destruction that ensued, the entire Guardian Corps of war-robots was smashed when they fell from the bridge.
