A YVH-series droid battles a pair of Yuuzhan Vong warriors.
The YVH-Series battle droid, also known as the YVH series Yuuzhan Vong Hunter, was a series of battle droids built by Tendrando Arms to specifically combat the Yuuzhan Vong. They saw some use after the Yuuzhan Vong War, as well.
Overview[]
While they were noted as being specialized in hunting the Yuuzhan Vong, they were equally formidable against other targets as well. In fact, the YVH-series droid was considered to be an even match for most Jedi in single combat, with the Jedi's odds of winning decreasing the longer the battle dragged on.[1]
The droids had multiple minicannons mounted on their arms, including blaster cannons,[2] and had thick self healing armor made of laminanium. They also had grenade launchers. Along with formidable armament, they sported highly advanced self-destruct mechanisms so when they were damaged beyond repair they would attempt to destroy as many enemies as possible in their last act of violence. The droids were powerful enough to destroy several strafing coralskippers during the battle in the Baanu Rass. This maximum destruction motive caused the highest compliment YVH-droids to give each other as "Maximum Efficiency".
