Legend

this was the codename of the infiltration team headed by the Ho'Din scientist Meloque, which infiltrated the planet Caluula more than four years after the Yuuzhan Vong began their invasion of the galaxy. Meloque had the credentials of a scientist who had been studying the Nocturne of the Winged-Stars, allowing her to gain access to the planet. Along with her were Han and Leia Organa Solo, Kyp Durron, Judder Page, and Wraw. Their mission was simple: destroy the yammosk which had been installed on Caluula, in an effort to knock out the Yuuzan Vong's possible coordination of a massive assault on Calamari. Despite only seeing a single patrol andd just one surveillance biot, the events that occurred after their arrival led Team Meloque to believe that it was being led into a trap. This fear proved true when the Team was ambushed by four Slayers, who killed Sasso and Ferfer before incapacitating Han Solo and taking the survivors captive. Meloque was able to interpret for the captives, until Malik Carr arrived to personally take them into custody. Unfortunately for the Yuuzhan Vong, something about Caluula's environment caused them to weaken and die over a period of a few weeks. The process seemed to speed up as death grew nearer, as evidenced by the sudden death of Malik Carr, his guards and Slayers. Suddenly free, the Team rushed to figure out what was killing the Yuuzhan Vong and their bio-technology. Wraw was forced to reveal that his primary mission as part of Team Meloque was to verify the effectiveness of a new strain of the Alpha Red virus which was released on Caluula, to verify that it was still as potent as originally believed.
