Emancipation virus

The Emancipation virus was a program developed by Droid Abolitionist Movement members Xalto Sneerzick and Babalabbet Swoont. It was designed to work its way into a droid's programming and destroy any subservient traits, and also would destroy the droid's life preservation systems. It was first tested on a shipment of one hundred R5-series astromech droids on the cargo freighter Argent Lady, but ended up making the R5s turn on the Sneerzick and his followers.
