YVH 2 - 4S YVH 2 - 4S , also known as Two - Four - S , was an advanced YVH S - series battle droid with masculine programming produced by Tendrando Arms during the Yuuzhan Vong War . In 27 ABY , he and another YVH droid were part of a mainly Jedi strike team tasked with going to the Yuuzhan Vong – controlled planet of Myrkr and eliminating the threat of the voxyn , a group of genetically - engineered predators who could hunt the Jedi through the Force . After commandeering the corvette analog " Exquisite Death " from its Yuuzhan Vong owners , YVH 2 - 4S and the strike team inserted themselves onto the " Baanu Rass " worldship , which was orbiting Myrkr . There , 2 - 4S and the group rescued a pair of Dark Jedi whom the Yuuzhan Vong had imprisoned . However , soon after arriving on the worldship , YVH 2 - 4S was destroyed when he sacrificed himself to eliminate two enemy coralskippers that had happened upon the team ' s location . The mission continued , however , and the voxyn were eliminated despite the loss of many members of the team . Biography . Taking the " Exquisite Death " . An advanced militaristic YVH - Series battle droid , YVH 2 - 4S — also referred to as Two - Four - S — was produced by the company Tendrando Arms around 27 ABY , during the Yuuzhan Vong War in which the extra - galactic Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy and engaged the New Republic in war . That year , the Yuuzhan Vong ' s shaper caste genetically engineered the dangerous voxyn beasts to hunt the Jedi Knights , who were protecting the New Republic , through the Force . Voxyn attacks soon began to take a heavy toll on the ranks of the Jedi as the beasts hunted and killed them . In response , a Jedi strike team was formed to deal with the threat , as the Jedi had discovered that the shapers were using a voxyn queen as a gene tic template for all the other voxyn that they had cloned into creation . Additionally , the Jedi also found that the location where the Yuuzhan Vong were creating the voxyn was in the vicinity of the planet Myrkr , which was controlled by the invaders . YVH 2 - 4S and another YVH - Series battle droid , YVH 2 - 1S , accompanied the strike team of seventeen young Jedi , including the Solo siblings Jaina , Jacen , and Anakin . Because the team ' s destination was behind Yuuzhan Vong lines , it had to find a way to reach Myrkr unharmed , and thus a plan was formed and implemented . Entrepreneur Lando Calrissian , the owner of Tendrando Arms , took the two war droids and the seventeen young Jedi near enemy lines in his starship , the " Lady Luck " , where he met up with the Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog " Exquisite Death " . Under the pretense of trading the Jedi on his ship for the lives of the refugees whom the invaders had captured over the planet Talfaglio , Calrissian had his crew " seize " the Jedi and bring them to Commander Duman Yaght of the " Exquisite Death " . While the captured Jedi staged a brief diversion in the form of a standoff to ensure that they were the only target of attention , 2 - 4S and 2 - 1S exited the " Lady Luck " via its disposal chute along with an equipment pod full of useful supplies . They attached the equipment pod to the bottom of the boarding craft that Yaght had used to get to Calrissian ' s ship , and when the Yuuzhan Vong took the Jedi back to the " Exquisite Death " , the war droids came with them , unbeknownst to Yaght and his troops . The Jedi endured torture while the Yuuzhan Vong ship took them deeper into enemy territory , but when the Jedi decided that the " Exquisite Death " had taken them far enough , Anakin signaled to 2 - 4S and 2 - 1S to aid them via a voice - activated implant on his body . 2 - 4S penetrated the hull of the vessel with ten coma gas canisters to knock out the crew . After blowing a hole in the outer hull , 2 - 4S sealed that hole to the open equipment pod that they had brought with them by using emergency patching foam , while 2 - 1S stood guard inside the vessel . On their way to rescue the captive Jedi , the two war droids encountered the " Exquisite Death " three voxyn , and after using thermal detonators against them , the droids believed that the voxyn had been killed . Both YVHs then burst into the room where the Jedi were being held and dispatched two warriors , both of whom had been trying to kill the Jedi members of the strike team . Once the Jedi were freed , the guards killed , and the weapons in the arsenal handed out , the team set out to eliminate any other Yuuzhan Vong aboard who had escaped the effects of 2 - 4S ' s coma gas , as well as to rescue Jedi Ganner Rhysode , who was being held captive elsewhere . As the team began its sweep of the ship , 2 - 4S was at the very back of the group and was tasked with covering the Wookiee Jedi Lowbacca as he inserted flechette mines into the " Exquisite Death " system ducts . After one of the voxyn — which had survived the initial encounter with the YVH war droids — detonated one of the mines in the ducts , 2 - 4S was sent back to look out for Jaina , who was with another part of the team . Jaina and 2 - 4S kept the wounded beast in the ducts and eventually killed it , though another voxyn had managed to survive and engaged part of the strike team before being driven into the ducts . In the end , the team seized the " Exquisite Death " completely , killing Yaght and rescuing Rhysode , without any casualties in the process . Myrkr . The group used the Yuuzhan Vong vessel to reach Myrkr and , upon approaching the planet , found that the worldship " Baanu Rass " was in nearby orbit . Because the Jedi sensed Force - sensitives on the worldship with the voxyn , the strike team could not go through with their primary plan , which was to destroy the voxyn cloning facility with a baradium missile . They also speculated that since the Yuuzhan Vong were keeping Force - sensitives hostage , they must have some ysalamir i , creatures who could create a bubble in which the Force was not usable , to ensure that prisoners did not escape . Nearing the worldship , Anakin sensed that they were being led into a trap and had the others arm and ready the missile . Moments later , a matalok enemy ship appeared over the " Baanu Rass " and positioned itself between the " Exquisite Death " and the loading area to the voxyn cloning facility on the worldship . After the commander of the matalok contacted the team and demanded that they surrender , the crew of the " Exquisite Death " fired the missile at the enemy vessel . The matalok was completely destroyed , but other Yuuzhan Vong forces soon surrounded the strike team ' s vessel , aware that the " Exquisite Death " was no longer under their control . With the Bith Jedi Ulaha Kore flying the captured ship as enemy vessels attempted to apprehend it with arresting tentacles , the rest of the strike team , minus 2 - 1S , packed themselves into five Yuuzhan Vong cargo pods . After 2 - 4S blew a hole in the hull of the " Exquisite Death " , the first pod that was dropped out through the hole was a decoy pod filled with explosives . When one of the pursuing vessels caught it with a set of tentacles , the pod exploded , leading the Yuuzhan Vong forces to believe that all of the pods were bombs . The other four pods fell out of the ship as the " Exquisite Death " pulled away from the " Baanu Rass " , and Kore led the pursuing ships on a chase . The Jedi used the Force to slow down their pods as they neared the surface of the worldship , though 2 - 4S ' s pod , the fourth one , was not decelerated . Still , the YVH droid survived the crash . Meanwhile , 2 - 1S was launched from the captured vessel in a shuttle and , after leading more ships away , sacrificed himself in an explosion to take out as many enemy forces as he could . The strike team ' s pods were destroyed with thermal detonators to make it appear as though they were indeed bombs , and 2 - 4S and the team set out for the voxyn cloning facility ' s loading area . Before long , two coralskippers approached the area where the pods had landed , and 2 - 4S and the team were forced to hide in the dust until they passed . After they resumed their course for the spaceport , the Jedi sensed Kore ' s death through the Force , as her pursuers had caught up to the " Exquisite Death " . Before they reached the spaceport , the group had to pass through a deadly swath of senalak plants , which prompted the Rodian Jedi Jovan Drark to use a Force wave to fell the plants in their way . Reaching the spaceport , they found that it was a landing pit in the ground surrounded by a colonnade barrier , which could be accessed via a series of living airlocks . In need of a distraction , Anakin used the Force to flick a capsule filled with the mating pheromones of ysalamiri into one of the airlocks that some service crew had opened . Just then , 2 - 4S reported that an enemy frigate was coming toward the spaceport . Soon , the mating pheromones drew a group of ysalamiri out of the colonnade , and the distraction to the Yuuzhan Vong forces was enough to allow the strike team members to don their holoshroud disguises and approach the spaceport . Rhysode and 2 - 4S covered the rest of the strike team as they made their way to the spaceport , and they soon joined them on the other side of one of the airlock valves . The plan was to get to the place where the ysalamiri were being kept , which would be where the Force - sensitives were being imprisoned , and then steal a rescue shuttle in the spaceport . Freeing the Dark Jedi . On its way toward the ysalamiri , the group encountered a Yuuzhan Vong who engaged them in conversation . However , despite Jedi Tahiri Veila ' s help translating the language , Rhysode managed to accidentally insult the being , which caused the Yuuzhan Vong to leave . When they reached the ysalamiri area , the Force abilities of the Jedi were temporarily taken away due to the presence of walking olbio tree s , which had ysalamiri in their leaves , in the corridor that led to their destination . The group members used their disguising holoshrouds to reach the first pair of guards and killed them before switching their hologram devices off . While Jacen , Rhysode , and 2 - 4S watched the entrance to the ysalamiri room , the rest of the strike team disposed of the ysalamiri and the remaining guards , leaving a single shaper left . That shaper was soon killed by one of two captured Dark Jedi in the room , Lomi Plo , via the Force , as all of the Jedi and Dark Jedi in the room could use the Force now that the ysalamiri were no more . Plo and the other Dark Jedi , Welk , were the Force - sensitives whom the Jedi in the strike team had sensed when they arrived over Myrkr , and they allied with the strike team in order to destroy the voxyn . However , the group in the ysalamiri room was interrupted by Rhysode and Jacen , who reported that a shuttle had arrived from the frigate that had earlier approached the " Baanu Rass " . The shuttle contained Executor Nom Anor , the feathery Fosh Vergere , and over a hundred warriors , all tasked with capturing the Solo twins , Jacen and Jaina . Because the spaceport had become a danger to 2 - 4S and the group , as the Yuuzhan Vong whom they had earlier insulted had pointed Anor and the others in their direction , Plo suggested that they head to the voxyn cloning facility via a training course that the shapers used to teach the voxyn to hunt Force - sensitives . Although most of the team did not trust the Dark Jedi , they had no choice but to follow Plo there . Soon , they came to a canyon passage , where Lowbacca and Rhysode laid a series of mines , before they proceeded to enter a side trail that branched off the corridor . Shortly after leaving the corridor , 2 - 4S reported that the mines had been detonated by their pursuers . When a pair of coralskippers passed by overhead before diving down toward the treetops that covered the team , Anakin had 2 - 4S secure the intersection while the rest of the team descended into a swampy area . The war droid fired upon the lead coralskipper , destroying it , but the other one sprayed a deadly chemical mist near the team ' s location . Using his propulsion rockets , 2 - 4S rose into the air , firing upon the other ship , but was struck by plasma from the coralskipper . 2 - 4S steered himself into his opponent and , using his self - destruct charges , took out the enemy craft . In the end , the team managed to kill the voxyn queen , ending the threat to the Jedi , though many of the team ' s members perished on the mission . Characteristics . Description . As a fourth - degree YVH S - series war droid , 2 - 4S was designed to kill members of the Yuuzhan Vong species with ease . Programmed with a masculine personality , he was armored in laminanium , which was strong and had self - regenerating properties , and was armed with a blaster cannon and targeting minirockets . He also possessed propulsion rockets and self - destruct charges , though he had a sensor package that lacked deep - space detection . The droid had a built - in comlink that could contact other YVHs and was additionally able to function in zero - gravity conditions , such as in space . As a YVH S - series droid , 2 - 4S had black - colored , star - spangled camouflage armor and sounded much like the war droid line ' s creator , Lando Calrissian . Personality . During the fight with the coralskippers , 2 - 4S used his self - destruct charges to take out the last enemy craft after he was critically damaged . Jacen Solo considered the YVH a valuable and respected part of the strike team . Behind the scenes . YVH 2 - 4S was first mentioned in the 2001 novel " " , written by Troy Denning as part of . " The New Jedi Order Sourcebook " , from 2002 , incorrectly claims that 2 - 1S was the last war droid to fall on the mission , while " Star by Star " has 2 - 4S perishing last .
