Retrovirus

Legends Canon version → Linked from 4 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

A retrovirus was an RNA virus that was duplicated in a host cell to produce DNA from its RNA genome. Darth Tenebrous invented his own retrovirus and injected it into himself to turn his midi-chlorians into maxi-chlorians.

The voxyn, a creature genetically engineered by the Yuuzhan Vong, had its paws coated in a slime layer containing hundreds of retroviruses, making a rake with the claws fatal.
