Legend

developed by Tenandro Arms and known as Yuuzhan Vong Hunters, this was a line of specially-programmed military droids, designed to combat the increasingly dangerous Yuuzhan Vong threat to the galaxy. First activated some twenty-seven years after the Battle of Yavin, the YVH-1 was given top-of-the-line search-and-indentify engineering, allowing it to distinguish between the alien invaders and the citizens of the New Republic. It was heavily armed, having a variable-output blaster cannon in its right arm and an adaptable left arm which could accept heavy lasers, projectile launchers, and sonic rifles. The YVH 1 was protected by layers of laminanium armor, giving the droid regenerative armor plating. In stature, the YVH-1 was strikingly similar to a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, although it was never learned if this was intentional and meant to provoke the alien invaders. Because of their appearance, they were often referred to as Yuuzhandroids. As the war against the Yuuzhan Vong wore on, Lando Calrissian had the droids programmed with coded messages for use as war cries. More often than not, the war cries were in the Yuuzhan Vong language, and made known the fact that machines were superior to the Yuuzhan Vong.
