Legend

named for the animated bilar of children's stories, Project Chubar was Warlord Zsinj's pet project. Its goal was to produce highly intelligent soldiers from the more primitive, non-human species in the galaxy. The project focused primarily on Gamorreans, Ewoks, and Talz, but also included Ortolans, Ranats, and Bilars. Using chemical treatments and educational imprinting similar to that used on clones, scientists from Binring Biomedical's Epsilon Wing discovered that their subjects could obtain near-human intelligence. This allowed them to learn complex tasks, such as flying a starship. A secondary goal was to stimulate the aggression centers of the subjects' brains, thereby creating a group of brutal soldiers which could act on Zsinj's orders. The project was nearly scuttled by one of its lead scientists, Tuzin Gast, who staged an explosion in the labs on Saffalore in hopes of letting the test subjects escape. Gast himself died in the blast, but only a single creature escaped. Known as subject Gamma-9104, this Gamorrean fled Saffalore and joined the New Republic, taking the name Voort saBinring.
