Legend

this was the term used by New Republic scientists to describe the way in which Coruscant - and other worlds - were quickly reformed into worlds the Yuuzhan Vong could inhabit. Many worlds in the galaxy were simply replanted with Yuuzhan Vong flora, which took months to eventually claim the planet's surface. Planets such as Coruscant were seeded with exploding fungus and other rapid-growing organisms, reducing the urban world to rubble in a matter of weeks. Scientists and xenobiologists with the New Republic later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong were not that different from most life in the galaxy, at least genetically. The primary exception was that all Vongformed life, including plants, animals, and the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, contained a unique strand of genetic material that set them apart from all other species. This difference was key to the development of the Alpha Red virus.
