Corva Yag
- "The Empire discontinued use of this droid model after one unit went crazy and clawed something like 300 colonists on Corva Yag (out near Minos Cluster, I think)."
- ―Drev, Cynabar's Droid Datalog
Corva Yag was an Outer Rim Territories planet near the Minos Cluster[1].
During the reign of the Galactic Empire, several hundred colonists on Corva Yag died. Their deaths were ostensibly caused by a malfunctioning 87-RM Scout Collector droid, although it was theorized by 0 ABY that the Empire had merely used the malfunctioning droid to cover up secret activities on the planet.
History
On 35:9:1:8, Toria Tell further speculated in the datalog that the malfunction may have been caused by Imperial testing of new weapon or droid programming protocols, or that the colonists had discovered a secret installation on Corva Yag, such as a hidden base or staging area, and had been silenced for it.[3]
Behind the scenes
Corva Yag first mentioned in the "Cynabar's Droid Datalog" feature of Star Wars Adventure Journal 13, which was published in May 1997. The article was authored by Drew Campbell and Eric S. Trautmann.[3]
