The brute program was responsible for the creation of Neimoidian brute guards.
The brute program referred to a genetic engineering initiative. Individuals from the Neimoidian Gunnery Battalion who displayed the most unpredictable and savage tendencies were selected, frequently without their consent, to participate in this program, where they were subjected to intense genetic modifications. These modifications resulted in Neimoidian brute guards, who were characterized by their increased size, heightened aggression, and volatile nature as fighters. Due to their susceptibility to fits of rage and acts of aggression towards fellow guards, they were often maintained in a state of stasis and deployed only during critical circumstances.
