Developed for Corellian Special Forces, the YVH-9c was a an upgrade to the modern YVH-series droid produced during Omega Protectorate's war with the Sith. Also known as the Corellian Hunter Droid, these special forces supplement droids were made specifically to aid non-force users in combating the endless tide of Graug and Sithspawn utilized in Sith Imperial ground tactics. YVH-9c droids were formidable opponents in battle and pulled from dozens of different tactics, fighting styles, and weapon specialties to take out their foes. When a Jedi wasn't able to take the field, the 9c was the next best thing, capable of fighting Sith and push back the Graug horde when working in a unit. After the war and after the Protectorate dissolved, the droids found themselves as collector items and personal security droids across the galaxy but were quickly produced for war again with the introduction of the One Sith and later Sith Empire.
Equipped with an impressive internal arsenal that included blaster cannons, grenade launchers, and micro rockets, the droids were also programmed to use a variety of weapons pulled from the field. Impressive sensors and scanners gave them an edge in battle. Their powerful processors allowed them to take in sensor data and analyze the battle to make split second tactical decisions. Their ability to rotate their bodies 360 degrees and its durable armor platting also made it possible to fight multiple enemies at once. Damage in the field wasn't a problem for them either. 9c models showed great strength able to lift beings with ease and crush armor in their hands. While any droid would benefit from a real mechanic repairing them, their ability to regulate their temperatures along with their laminanium armor and frame allowed them to re-attach limbs and fix their armor. They were also able to use their temperature regulators to cauterize wounds and had first aid programming along with a bacta spray.
After the wars with the Sith crushed the Republic and Galactic Alliance, the droids began seeing service within Corellian Defense Force special forces units. After the main factory producing the droids was destroyed their numbers were drastically reduced and the ability to create new droids was stiffed. Their lack of specialization and high degree of quality relegated them to various roles within the Confederation, from defending the Diktat to covert operations supporting Halcyon commandos. Though a little over two decades old, the droids continue to serve with distinction for the Corellian defense force and the few private owners that were lucky enough or rich enough to purchase one themselves.
