I was asked to post the Bothan Transmission on BlooMilk by Dean. For anyone who might not know what this is all about, it goes back all the way to Alliance and Empire when Rob Watkins would spoil things on the WOTC site all scrambled up. A few have been going on over on Gamers, and here is the latest one. These letters, numbers, and symbols, once decoded, become a full stat card, from the name to the flavor text. Good luck!

Just so it's clear here guys, Dean wanted this to be posted over here to Bloomilk as a show of good faith. Feel free to work on it here, or to go over to Gamers and work on it there if you want. Or in both places. If I see some portion of it get confirmed over at Gamers, I'll be sure to re-post the confirmed part here, and vice versa.
This is a fun way to get involved in a long-standing tradition. It can be tricky to figure out, but there are some basic things that are always exactly the same on every card, so you can use that to sort of break things down and start figuring out the words.

Thanks Lobo I've been working on it a bit, and will post something asap if nobody else jumps on it. I'll focus my efforts here on Bloo.

Just to keep you guys updated here, over on gamers we have figured out that it is non unique and is in the Yuuzhan Vong faction. It is also not a commander.

I'm not so sure it is in the Yuuzhan Vong faction, as likely as it seems based on the number of Ys and Vs. I need to check something , and if I'm wrong I'll be dropping out of this...

I mentioned over on Gamers that it might be a New Republic piece for the YVH Droid or Yuzaahn Vong Hunter Droid (left them to do the letter crunching), but I was promptly ignored. ;)

Alright - I was trying to take this pretty far, but was getting off track, so here is a base to work from. I picked the set number based on the compiled spoiler list on Gamers.
36/60 Yuuzhan Vong Hunter Droid
Hit Points Attack + Defense Damage
Special Abilities Droid Yuuzhan Vong Hunter (+4 Attack and + Damage against Yuuzhan Vong enemies)
----- leaving this, if I didn't screw up!

I was toying with the Lam. armor, and the others are good suggestions as well, and would account for some of the punctuation.

Gah. I thought Weeks said it was YV. Oh well. I like where this droid is going though.
Ok, going with this Laminanium Armor, it looks like it could be reducing damage by 10 with a save of 11.
Twin attack was thrown into the mix up on Gamers, which would suit this droid I think.

Well, Weeks did say it was Yuuzhan Vong, but I'd guess that he was going off just the fact of all the Ys and Vs, and sort of making a joke about it. He didn't have any inside knowledge. Incidentally, you guys are doing much better than over on Gamers, not that it's a competition or anything, since half of you are posting in both spots, haha. :)

Wookieepedia said that they were able to 'see thru' Ooglith Masquer. I didn't know if that would be used as some kind of rudementary Force Sense.

Back from a Recon mission. There is a T in a special ability, and another T in the flavor text.
Twin Attack
possibly Vicious Attack (Triple damage...)
Definitely liking Missiles 30 (uses all : and ;)
Laminanium Armor (worded just like Damage Reduction?) [edit: fixed typo in Lam...]
don't have time to letter-check all those at the moment...
@Urza - I was thinking along those lines too, worth exploring
