Legend

this was the name used to describe the plan, hatched by Wedge Antilles and Eldo Davip, to use the Lusankya as an immense ramming device against the Yuuzhan Vong which were blockading Borleias. In the wake of the Battle of Coruscant, Wedge had been ordered to hold Borleias long enough for Chief of State Pwoe and the remainder of the New Republic Advisory Council to flee into space. The Lusankya was allowed to take damage in the fighting over Borleias, but never anything too bad. Nevertheless, weapons emplacements were continually being removed from the ship for "repair." In reality, they were being refitting onto smaller ships, giving them more firepower against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Lusankya, in the meantime, was being refitted from the inside out, with a huge Beltway being carved into its heart. This reinforced shaft became a huge, needle-like ram, that would be used to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong worldship. During the last stand at Borleais, Commander Eldo Davip took the Lusankya into battle, but only to deflect large portions of fire from the smaller ships. This caused huge amounts of damage to the Star Destroyer, which served to bolster the Yuuzhan Vong's confidence. Then, when much of the battle had been fought, Commander Davip used all remaining engine power to ram the Lusankya into the Yuuzhan Vong worldship, destroying both ships and eliminating the Yuuzhan Vong threat.
