Legend

this was the designation of the war-robot in charge of defending the Queen of Ranroon on Dellalt. The Corps Commander controlled the other war-robots in the Guardian Corps, which was under orders to await the return of the High Command and defend the Queen of Ranroon until her contents could be placed in Xim the Despot's vaults on Dellalt. Although the Corps Commander was in charge of the entire Guardian Corps, it received its orders from the Survivors. Several years before the Battle of Yavin, the Corps Commander was called to duty to protect the Queen of Ranroon from the mining operations of J'uoch and R'all. The entire Guardian Corps marched on the miners, obliterating their entire operation. The only survivors of the attack were Han Solo, his companions, and Gallandro. Solo's group managed to reach a barracks on the other side of a bridge, and the Corps Commander ordered the Guardian Corps to cross the bridge and destroy the barracks. Bollux and Blue Max, however, had anticipated this final assault, and arranged to destroy the bridge as soon as the entire Guardian Corps was on it. The two droids were able to communicate with the Corps Commander, and ordered him to increase the marching paces of the war-robots until their footfalls set up a harmonic tremor that shook the bridge to pieces. In the destruction that ensued, the Corps Commander and the rest of the war-robots were smashed when they fell from the bridge.
