Legend

this was the name used by the Empire to describe those Coruscani Ogres who were put through The Program and lobotomized. Rather than serve as cheap labor, however, the Friendlies were used as a kind of destabilization force by the Empire. These ogres were transported to planets which were rebellious or otherwise anti-Imperial, and set loose to terrorize the population. Then, Imperial stormtroopers would show up later and eliminate the ogres. This action usually won over the population, putting an end to any rebellious notions. The name Friendlies derived from the name of the first ogre to show any sort of promise in Thr Program, an individual known simply as Friendly. After the Battle of Endor, small bands of Friendlies existed on dozens of planets, including Coruscant. Those that survived on Coruscant were believed to have been killed when the Yuuzhan Vong terraformed the world into a recreation of Yuuzhan'tar.
