Legend

this was the name used to describe the Jedi Knights' plans to determine the inner workings of Yuuzhan Vong bio-technology, including villips and the yammosk. Led by Danni Quee and Cilghal, the Eclipse Program was housed in a base on the remote world of Eclipse, where any captured yammosk specimens were quickly evaluated. The program eventually found success, using a variety of gravity and micro-gravity fields to manipulate the yammosk's internal systems. Unfortunately, this success came shortly after Coruscant was overrun by the Yuuzhan Vong. In a twist of fate, the yammosk that Danni and Cilghal were able to effectively neutralize was that from the Sunulok, the Yuuzhan Vong warship which was destroyed during the Second Battle of Coruscant. The Yuuzhan Vong aboard managed to escape, though. The technique for disrupting the communications of a yammosk was enhanced for full-scale usage, with a cluster of powerful communications devices being shot out at aYuuzhan Vong starship affixed to projectile weapons. The hope - and often the result - was that one of the devices would lodge itself in the ship's hull and thereby disrupt the yammosk.
