Legend

this secret project was developed by Mammon Hoole and Borborygmus Gog, and directly funded by Emperor Palpatine. Its ultimate goal was the creation of a living army that was impervious to most forms of attack. The Project's primary laboratories were located on the planet Kiva, until an early experimental failure in the control of life and death wiped out all life on the planet. Gog assured that Hoole would be blamed for the accident, then secured continued funding from Palpatine. The Emperor placed Darth Vader in control of the project, which continued at a rapid pace. The first step in Gog's plan was to create life from nothing, and the result was the planet D'vouran. Despite this success, D'vouran outgrew its creators and escaped after consuming many of the Project's scientists. Gog continued, employing Doctor Evazan in an effort to bring the death back to life on the planet Necropolis. Evazan managed to discover a formula, but its effects were limited and required diligent planning. The next step involved discovering a way to propagate the army without continual expenditure, and involved the development of ancient viruses on Gobindi. Further experiments yielded the Nightmare Machine, which proved that Gog's scientists could extract a person's deepest fears from their mind and use them as a weapon, and a way to control the Force itself. This last step was never achieved, although a test subject was created by Gog. Known only as Eppon and called the first of Gog's Army of Terror, Eppon was a biological construct that could consume its opponents and grow stronger, could read their darkest fears and turn them against them, and could return from death rapidly. However, Hoole returned from hiding in an effort to thwart Gog's plans. In the end, Gog and Hoole battled on the planet Kiva, where the wraiths of the dead Kivans consumed Gog shortly after he destroyed Eppon.
