No, it had no machine components. But it could investigate, disect, and
understand almost any machine it encountered...oh, and rebuild it for its own
purposes.

Yep. Did you read the sequel? (_Vang: The Battlemaster_) a lot more about
it's history comes out in that one. Oh, and another one, _The Starhammer_
has some Vang in it too, although they are peripheral to the story.
Good stories, all!
