Legends Canon version → Linked from 111 articles

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

A self-destruct mechanism was a defense system that allowed an important craft or device to self-destruct under certain circumstances such as the threat of being captured. This was often used as a last-resort defense to protect data from being used by the enemy.
