Legend

this S'krrr greeted Mammon Hoole and the Shroud when they landed near the Sikadian Gardens, on the planet S'krrr. As the caretaker of the famous Gardens, Vroon found it unacceptable for the starship to land so close to the delicate plants collected there. He allowed Hoole to repair the ship, but that effort was interrupted when then-Captain Thrawn arrived on the planet to study its art. Vroon himself discovered that the gentle wingsong of the S'krrr soothed the drog beetles which ate the plants of the garden. It was later revealed that Vroon was a member of a secret S'krrr cult that worshipped insects, believing them to be the god-like ancestors of rhte S'krrr. Vroon wanted Hoole and Thrawn gone so that he could continue to expand the drog beetle population, in preparation for a second-coming of the insects. Vroon had been killing the shreevs that fed on the drog beetles, throwing the dead bodies into a pile behind the Gardens. However, the delicate balance between the drog beetles and the shreevs was upset by his schemes. The drog beetles overran his laboratory and killed him.
