Nanna, we were not particularly creative. Lando was looking at rebuilding a model that would have extra features. He'd worked on these droids to specifically fight the Yuuzhan Vong, and sense them, which - considering Jedi can't - was a very helpful thing to have around.
The New Republic stabilized a few years back. We signed peace treaties with the Imperial Remnant and they had settled largely around Bastion with Pellaeon at the lead. You stepped out of politics for a while, Fey'lya was Chief of State, and I wouldn't entirely say we were at 'peace', but it had been improving. The Empire ruled with such control though, that when you let that out, everyone has grievances, and it's hard to really settle all of those immediately. I suspect it will take decades to do so in any significant way.
Anyway - the Yuuzhan Vong showed up about two years ago, or so from when I am. Not so far in the future from Anakin, I'm gathering, or in the past from Han. The first we encountered them was on Sernpidal. It was Han, Chewie, and Anakin that encountered them. They were pulling a moon into the planet, and when Han realized what was happening he tried to organize people escaping in whatever vessels were available, including the Falcon.
They had hundreds of locals on board when they had to take off because the gravity was becoming unstable. My understanding is that Chewie pushed Anakin onto the Falcon with the intention of joining, but that a ground quake threw him further afield. Anakin had to make the call to take-off or to try to save Chewie. He made the right call - the entire ship would have been lost if they'd stayed - but I feel it was difficult for either of them to see that in its entirety for a very long time after.
