Legend

this Duros served as a Commander in the New Republic military, and served under General Wedge Antilles during the height of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. After the Battle of Duro, Yurf Col and many of his fellow Duros could barely contain their desire to return and liberate their homeworld. Col believed that his chance had come when Antilles ordered a task force to be dispatched to Duro. Unknown to Col, however, was that the mission was simply a feint, meant to draw in as many Yuuzhan Vong warships as possible. Once the enemy ships were in-system, New Republic interdictors would trap them there and destroy them. A secondary plan involved the reduction of Yuuzhan Vong forces at Fondor, allowing the Republic to retake the planet. Although Antilles feared that Col and the Duros might be too emotionally involved in the fight, he still hoped Col could be counted on to obey orders. Yurf Col, however, refused to simply sit back and watch his forces whittled away while more and more Yuuzhan Vong warships entered the arena. Col, furious with Antilles' seeming unconcern about the fate of the Duro System, resigned his commission. Col's forces, including his own ship Dpso and several Duros-commanded warships, tried to break ranks and attack the aliens themselves. However, without the support of the rest of the New Republic fleet, all the Duros ships were destroyed by Yuuzhan Vong forces.
