New Jedi Order is a Star Wars Legends series set twenty-five years after Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. The galaxy is at peace. The Rebellion has become the New Republic. The Empire is reduced to a shadow of its former self, its surviving leaders much more reasonable (still authoritarian but not outright dictatorial), and a treaty exists between the Empire and the Republic. Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order is still small, but growing—about a hundred all told. He also got married four years ago to a wonderful woman, also a Jedi and who happens to have once wanted to kill him. Their courtship was adorable. Han Solo and Leia Organa have been hitched for seventeen years, and have three teenaged children, all prodigies and strong in the Force.Then the Yuuzhan Vong come, at first on a small scale in the form of weird biological ships, carrying warriors that scar and tattoo and mutilate themselves, attack a few nothing worlds on the edge of known space. They're turned back, but then more come, and more, enough to conquer a galaxy, it seems. Fearless and fanatical, they crusade against the infidels and their machines and all of them, seemingly, don't exist in the Force. In their numbers, philosophy and ferocity, they promise to take a greater toll than the entire Galactic Civil War.They do.And then things get really bad.The New Jedi Order was the first novel series Del Rey Books produced once they acquired the license to produce Star Wars Legends novels from Lucasbooks after Bantam lost it. Originally intended to have twenty-five books, it ended up as a still-sprawling nineteen-book series over five years of both in-universe time and real time, composed mostly of hardcover one-shots and softcover miniseries, written by several authors. It was embroiled in controversy from the start, with the killing of Chewbacca at the end of the first novel. It continued by killing a small host of minor, secondary, and non-movie major characters, including several fan-favorites, and ended up exploring the very meaning of the Force, and whether the Dark Side existed at all. (Short answer — not really. Long answer — yes, it does, but not as previously thought.) The published novels are in chronological order as follows (hardcovers with a indentation, softcovers with two, even though they aren't necessarily direct sequels). Vector Prime (1999) — R.A. Salvatore Dark Tide I: Onslaught (2000) — Michael A. Stackpole Dark Tide II: Ruin (2000) Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial (2000) — James Luceno Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse (2000) Balance Point (2000) — Kathy Tyers Edge Of Victory I: Conquest (2001) — Greg Keyes Edge Of Victory II: Rebirth (2001) Star By Star (2001) — Troy Denning Dark Journey (2002) — Elaine Cunningham Enemy Lines I: Rebel Dream (2002) — Aaron Allston Enemy Lines II: Rebel Stand (2002) Traitor (2002) — Matthew Stover Destiny's Way (2002) — Walter Jon Williams Force Heretic I: Remnant (2003) — Sean Williams and Shane Dix Force Heretic II: Refugee (2003) Force Heretic III: Reunion (2003) The Final Prophecy (2003) — Greg Keyes The Unifying Force (2003) — James LucenoThe series also featured several short stories and e-book novellas set in the duration. These include: "Recovery" (2001) — an e-book later reprinted in the paperback edition of Star By Star and set sometime after the events of Balance Point. "Emissary of the Void" — a six-part story published in various issues of Star Wars Gamer and Star Wars Insider magazines, set after the events of Rebirth. "The Apprentice" (2002) — a short story published in Star Wars Gamer #4 and set during the events of Dark Journey. "Ylesia" (2002) — an e-book later reprinted in The Joiner King and set during the events of Destiny's Way.Additional stories set during this era, but not published concurrently with the series include: "Revenants" (2003) — a short comic published in Star Wars Tales #18. As with all Tales stories published in issues #1-20 it was considered Canon Discontinuity. "Or Die Trying" (2004) — a short story published in Star Wars Insider #75 and set sometime after Refugee. "Equals and Opposites" (2004) — a short comic story published in Star Wars Tales #21. "A Practical Man" (2006) — an e-book later reprinted in the paperback edition of Sacrifice. Star Wars: Invasion (2009 — 2014)

Aliens Speaking English: In Vector Prime, Threepio is quickly able to translate Yuuzhan Vong, a language from outside the galaxy, because it's similar to one of the six million languages he does know (which, for added strangeness, hasn't been spoken in three hundred years). (Eventually we learn that a remnant of the species' Genius Loci homeworld made it to this galaxy thousands of years earlier, though the text never draws a connection). Additionally, major Vong characters are all conveniently able to speak Basic, which makes sense for the diplomat Nom Anor, but not for most others (their tizowyrms explain being able to understand it, but responding is another issue).

Gaia's Lament: Duros, thanks to centuries of mismanagement, but the Empire taking over really didn't help. The atmosphere is so polluted it's poison for pretty much everyone. The rich and powerful of Duros don't mind so much. After all, it's somewhere to send all the "troublesome" people they've got, and some of them are a little incensed that the New Republic is trying to fix this. After the Yuuzhan Vong conquer Duro, they're shown to have cleaned it up.

Heroic BSoD: Many, most memorably Jaina and Leia when Anakin dies. Jaina again at the end of Dark Tide: Ruin, after her wingman dies in the fighting. Han spends most of the first part of the series (up until the Agents of Chaos mini-series, at least) going through one over the death of Chewie. Among other things, he grows a Beard of Sorrow and for a short time becomes estranged from his family.

Not-So-Harmless Villain: Onimi is Shimrra's court jester and personal slave—he's obnoxious and has a cruel sense of humor, but is largely harmless except when acting on Shimrra's direct orders. Except that he's actually the Big Bad, a ridiculously powerful Force-user, and an Omnicidal Maniac. Shimrra was never anything more than his tool.

The Worf Effect
 New Jedi Order / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: Midway through Vector Prime, the New Republic Defense Force sends an Imperial-class star destroyer, one of the most feared ships in Star Wars and practically a naval task force unto itself, to take out the Praetorite Vong's beachhead. It gets blown away with relative ease (although that's partly because its captain was tremendously overconfident). Early in the series, Leia's Noghri bodyguard, Bolphur, takes out a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, but is clawed to death in return. Leia's reaction: "If the Yuuzhan Vong are powerful enough to take out Noghri with their bare hands..." Leia's Noghri bodyguards suffer this depressingly often, especially in the first half of the series. Arguably, this was also the reason Chewie died.

Obstructive Bureaucrat: Responsible for problems with refugees, governmental mingling of head with sand. In the early stages of the war, this was the main weapon the Yuuzhan Vong had against the New Republic. Infiltrators and collaborators kept the New Republic from fully reacting to the Vong threat pretty much until they were knocking on Coruscant's doorstep. Notably, fleets that could have been sent to out slow, halt, or even turn back the Vong advance early were kept in defensive formations around valuable Core worlds that were in no danger whatsoever of attack.

Alternate Company Equivalent
 New Jedi Order / int_200c8312
comment
Alternate Company Equivalent: The Yuuzhan Vong have been compared to the Borg. They also have similarities to the Tyranids and Zerg (extragalactic invaders with organic technology), the Dark Eldar (aliens who have a religion centered on pain and death) and the Drow elves (highly organized and intelligent race of fanatical villains who are also prone to infighting). Official artwork sometimes, particularly in the Invasion comic, depicts them with very Klingon-esque ridged foreheads (in the novels, Vong are described as having long, sloping foreheads but no ridges are mentioned). Both cultures happen to be Proud Warrior Races and significant enemies of their setting's primary protagonist faction. And like the Klingons, down the road they end up allies of the protagonists. They also have a lot of similarities to two other species in the Legends continuity, the Ssi-ruuk and Yevetha (both introduced when Bantam Spectra had the license, before Del Rey acquired it). Both species are Scary Dogmatic Aliens that invade Republic/Imperial space from outside. The authors seem to have noticed this: both species are destroyed by the Yuuzhan Vong offscreen.

First he uses it for eating on a cruise ship, and at the climax it saves him from hideous death.

Aborted Arc: Several, unfortunately, as a side-effect of the multi-author format. The Great River, the Insiders, and Tahiri's destiny were probably the most notable. Enforced with Anakin and Tahiri, between whom Master Ikrit prophecies something great. Given Anakin's death in Star by Star, this never comes. One of the Solo children was always going to be killed off, with Jacen being chosen for it but plans were swapped around when George Lucas nixed Anakin being the hero of the series (reportedly not wanting him confused with his grandfather). Thus Anakin was killed off instead of Jacen. And then Jacen went to hell in the next series anyway.

Back for the Dead
 New Jedi Order / int_241ca0d8
comment
Back for the Dead: The Ssi-Ruuk, who we haven't heard a peep from since The Truce at Bakura, come back late in this series. Supposedly, they want to make a truce with Bakura, for mutual defense against the Yuuzhan Vong. In reality, it's a trick to pave the way for a new invasion, which is itself a trick so the P'w'eck slave race can overthrow and destroy the Ssi-Ruuk. Which was all organized by a Vong agent to begin with. Within the same miniseries, the Yevetha—which had barricaded themselves within the Koornacht cluster since the events of the Black Fleet Crisis—are scouted late in the conflict. The mission reveals the Vong had completely wiped them out offscreen, along with their rebuilt fleet.

Red Right Hand: The Vong do this to themselves for social, religious, and practical reasons. Special mention goes to Tsavong Lah, who goes so far as to clone a long-extinct monster just so he can kill it and use its talons to replace one of his legs. On the other hand, grafts that fail to take or otherwise behave abnormally are seen as ill omens from the Vong perspective, and are enough to permanently shame their recipient.

Beam Spam: The tactics adopted by New Republic pilots to take down Yuuzhan Vong fighters is to fire a large number of lower-powered shots to exhaust the coralskipper's dovin basal, before switching to quad-fire mode (which involves firing all their guns at once) to punch through its heavy armor. Upon reverting from hyperspace in the middle of an enemy fleet in Rebel Dream, the Lusankya does this immediately and in all directions (seemingly at normal power, too). Its ability to do this as a matter of course proves quite useful for the requirements of Operation Emperor's Hammer later in that book, too.

More Dakka
 New Jedi Order / int_2b706ca
comment
The dovin basal also turned out to have a major weakness when used for shielding that was eventually exploited by the Alliance. Specifically, the singularity they generated was great for intercepting laser blasts, but it took the same amount of energy to generate the singularity regardless of how powerful the incoming shot was (contrast standard shields, which lose power relative to how damaging the hit was). All you had to do was use a More Dakka approach with low-power shots, wear down the dovin basal's energy reserves (or, more accurately for biotech, it just plain got tired), and it couldn't protect the ship any more.

Full-Name Basis: The Vong always go by their full names, which are compose of their personal name followed by their domain (extended family) name. So for example, Tsavong Lah is Tsavong of Domain Lah, and omitting the "Lah" would be incredibly insulting, implying he has no standing in his family (though members of the same domain seem to be allowed some leeway here). Notable exceptions include Priests (who rarely use their domain names) the Supreme Overlord (who's transcended his domain) and the Shamed Ones (whose domains don't want them).

Ramming Always Works: Vergere helps deal with the problem of taking out the two thousand Yuuzhan Vong troops on Ebaq-9 by flying an A-Wing into the military base. The result is a colossal fireball which takes out the artificial atmosphere, causing all the Vong troops to suffocate in seconds. It also kills her in the process. And Tsavong Lah manages to survive.

Subverted with Nen Yim and Tahiri. They have very personal reasons to hate each other (Nen was part of the team that experiemented on a captive Tahiri; Tahiri killed Nen's mentor while escaping), but when they actually meet up again, they're initially antagonistic, but end of letting go of their hate for each other and end up in something of an Odd Friendship. Of course, Tahiri's Vong memories were adapted from Nen's, so it's perhaps unsurprising that they would develop a strong rapport against all odds.

Worshipped for Great Deeds
 New Jedi Order / int_341cdc31
comment
Worshipped for Great Deeds: The Jeedai heresy is based around this. After Anakin Solo helped the yuuzhan vong Shamed One (dishonored outcast) Vua Rupaang prove his innocence, the word spread among the other shamed ones that a Jedi (or Jeedai as the word was corrupted into) had helped a shamed one regain his honor. Soon after, cults started popping up that revered the Jeedai as savior figures who could redeem shamed ones. This was further encouraged by the prophet Yu'shaa (really the spy Nom Anor in disguise), who united the various cults into an entire offshoot of the main Yuuzhan Vong religion that saw the Force as the last breath of the creator deity, and the Jeedai as emissaries or avatars of their gods.

Lured into a Trap: Shedao Shai's forces in Ruin run headlong into a trap on Ithor, the New Republic forces using their anti-technology attitude against them. By the time Shedao figures things out, one of his guys has already triggered the trap. What finally does Tsavong Lah in during Destiny's Way. Admiral Ackbar cooks up a strategy relying on the Vong martyrdom culture and their unwillingness to flee or disobey orders, baited with the Jedi. Tsavong falls for it, partly because he can't conceive that it could be a trap (he almost does, but then brushes it off because he wouldn't do such a thing).

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Explored from several angles through Dark Tide: Ruin regarding the Empire's long list of superweapons. The Jedi actually do have the plans saved in their archives, flagged in case anyone pokes around in them, but having the plans isn't enough - you'd need time, resources and secrecy to build them, and one of the builders had her memories of how she did that erased by Jedi some years back (which she's pretty happy about), and in the modern galaxy, a giant superweapon would kind of draw a lot of attention. Luke and Mara do wonder about whether the name "the Eye of Palpatine" means there's a back-up somewhere, since he did have more than one eye, but if there is, no-one's ever found it.

To Hell and Back: A symbolic example. Jacen is told early on in his captivity by Vergere that he's dead; that story arc, Traitor, focuses on his maturation as an adult as he journeys through the hell of the Yuuzhan Vong worlds—and his eventual ascent and rebirth.

Morton's Fork: The Peace Brigade ironically find themselves in this situation by the later stages of the war. By this point, the galaxy at large finally understands and accepts collaboration or cutting deals with the Vong is a fool's bargain; they've broken their word too many times to trust any more promises of peace or mercy. So the Brigade now has no choice, but to remain allied with the Vong to protect themselves from the Galactic Alliance (who will be coming for all their heads should they win the war). But it's not an alliance of equals, because the Vong are now using them as cannon fodder (and will have no more use for the Brigade if they win the war). Either way, the Peace Brigrade loses. Vergere dryly observes that no matter how she answers, the New Republic will take it to mean she's a spy. Answer too vaguely, she's obviously hiding something because she's a spy. Answer in too much detail, it's obviously rehearsed, and she's a spy.

Biotech Is Better
 New Jedi Order / int_40b308f3
comment
Biotech Is Better: Played with. A lot of Yuuzhan Vong biotech advantage comes not from their tech being objectively better, but from it being different. The dovin basals they use for shielding and propulsion aren't necessarily better than standard engines and shields, but their ability to create microsingularities to gobble up weapon's fire is something the New Republic never dealt with before, but rapidly find a trick to work around. Those same dovin basals can use their gravity-altering abilities to yank the shields off NR ships, but extending the ship's acceleration compensator envelope outside the shield radius nullifies that trick. Vong plasma weapons aren't that much more destructive than standard laser weapons, but have a damage-over-time component that's difficult to deal with once a blast strikes the hull. The one thing in space combat that is categorically better than anything the New Republic can offer is grutchins, the Yuuzhan Vong equivalent of torpedo weapons: think the Buzz Droids from Revenge of the Sith, but much bigger, shaped like a giant space-borne locust with acid-dripping mandibles that pretty much literally eat starfighters for breakfast, and even able to pursue ships into hyperspace. No counter is ever found for them, and they quietly disappear from the series shortly after their introduction. Grutchin do reappear in Force Heretic 1, where they easily devastate the Imperial fleet. It is implied the New Republic/Galactic Federaiton has gotten a lot better at spotting and shooting them down at range. On the gound, Yuuzhan Vong ranged weapons are distinctly lackluster, having no real equivalent to a blaster (their thud bugs are quite a surprise, but easy to deal with once you're aware of them) and Vong warriors have to close to melee range to do any real damage. Unfortunately, their armor and weapons are capable of withstanding hits from lightsabers, so it takes a rather impressive amount of blasterfire to down the average Vong (though as their armor leaves their faces exposed, headshots work pretty well if you're a good marksman). Their long range communication devices, villips, can reach interstellar distances despite being relatively compact and having transmission the New Republic can't detect, but they lack the flexibility of traditional comm gear, as each villip can only communicate to its partner. One Yuuzhan Vong pilot even privately envies the ability of starfighters to communicate voice to voice with one another, compared to his own coralskippers. The yammosk war-coordinator does work much better at coordinating Yuuzhan Vong forces than voice-to-voice comms, right up until the New Republic figures out how to jam them.

Zerg Rush: The Yuuzhan Vong's slaves. The Yuuzhan Vong strongly favor these tactics, which gradually bites them in the ass as the war goes on and they can no longer adequately defend their territory; following the Battle of Coruscant, Shimrra furiously berates Tsavong Lah for having "earned your victories by sending your troops over a rampart of our own dead!" and the Galactic Alliance estimates that nearly a third of the warrior caste has been destroyed by that part. Played with in that while "charging full-tilt at the enemy with amphistaffs raised" may be the Vong's favorite tactic, but that doesn't mean it's all they're capable of doing. They're actually quite canny if the situation warrants it. Especially early on, they're shown to be remarkably adept in all aspects of warfare, including political and psychological, to the point where one of their favorite sayings translates as "Weaken the hinges of the enemy's fort."

It is not until the events of Traitor that he finally learns his lesson, with Jacen's help, and makes his choice: he accepts his role as a sidekick, buying time for what Jacen has to do. His You Shall Not Pass!-type of Dying Moment of Awesome is the direct result, earning his title of hero among the Yuuzhan Vong.

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Several characters argue that if The Empire was still in power, its more centralized, militarized government would have been quick and decisive in defeating the Yuuzhan Vong, whereas the New Republic's hesitation to fully commit to war led them to squander chances to end the Vong invasion sooner. On the other hand, Han Solo points out that the Empire over-relied on Awesome, but Impractical superweapons with glaring flaws.

Worthy Opponent: Shedao Shai to Corran. His actions are 100% consistent with his code of honor, he openly admires the enemy when they live up to his high standards, sticks to his ethics even when they put him at a disadvantage, and in spite of being even more fanatical than usual for his species is both affable and a pretty good strategist. Unfortunately his second-in-command goes back on the deal Shai struck with Corran after Corran kills Shai in an honor duel over the fate of Ithor. While Nom Amor is panicking over being tricked by the false intelligence that leads to the defeat at Ebaq-9, which has ruined his career and marked him for painful death, he does at least respect the effort.

(Yuuzhan'tar is basically a Death World, and with the gods so close to hand, they must want it that way.) Also, Shimrra has rainbow-hued eyes.

Reporting Names: Basically all Vong ships except for coralskippers. Since their vessels are grown rather than constructed, they don't follow a standard template very well. Therefore, the Republic takes to grouping them by size (e.g. "blastboat analogue", "cruiser analogue") or sometimes role ("carrier analogue", "interdictor analogue").

Early-Installment Weirdness
 New Jedi Order / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The Vong culture and military presented in the first few novels were even more dogmatic, masochistic, and incompetent than in later books. Explained in later books as being characteristic of the Praetorite Vong and Domain Shai, who made up the vanguard and may or may not have been put there so the rest of the Vong wouldn't have to deal with them.note This is all but canon for the Shai; Ruin ends with Deign Lian proudly reporting to Tsavong Lah that he arranged Shedao Shai's death. It's more ambiguous with the Praetorite, but it's clear that Da'Gara and co. were not well-liked. Several aspects of Vong culture were also clearly not hammered out as of Vector Prime. Shapers are referred to as "alchemists", and don't seem to be a separate caste, as Nom Anor's dabbling in Shaping is presented as a path to advancement, while later books make it plain that it's eccentric and borderline-heretical. Too, Da'Gara and Nom Anor are presented as Yomin Carr's direct superiors, despite the fact that he's a warrior and they're intendents; later books would always structure the chain of command along caste lines. The yammosk in the first book is also significantly more powerful and threatening than any others which would appear later and is revered as something close to a demigod by the Vong. Later yammosks are treated as, essentially, living supercomputers — highly valued and useful, to be sure, but not the superiors or even equals of the Vong themselves. Justified retroactively: the yammosk in Vector Prime is said to have been defective. "Coralskipper" is treated as the name for all Yuuzhan Vong craft in Vector Prime, from small one-man starfighters to larger, multi-crew vessels. Later books would have the New Republic identify them by their closest analogue to a traditional craft, and would reveal proper Vong class names for many of their larger ships, while "coralskipper" was used exclusively to mean "starfighter". One not related to the Vong: the series began before the movies had really clarified the idea that good guy Force users had green or blue lightsabers (or purple, if they're Mace Windu) and only bad guys had red (since the series began in the same year The Phantom Menace came out), so there are one or two Jedi using red lightsabers here and there, without being evil.

Mirroring Factions: Brought up metaphorically by both sides, but also seen literally in their military technologies. Take the YVH droid and the voxyn, for instance — both are carefully engineered for their targets, both are horribly beweaponed and Made of Iron, both can sense the difference between their prey and regular humans. Later on, there are the Slayers, who consciously attempt to mimic the Jedi. In neither case does this end well for the Vong, though, since their culture and technology prevent them from mass-producing their elites.

Body Horror: A number of examples are present, such as the coral seed implants used to enslave and modify the physiology of non-Yuuzhan Vong. In the case of the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, implants are marks of honor. Failed implants are dishonorable and tend to rot while still attached. Other bad things can happen, as in the case of Tsavong Lah's sabotaged radank arm implant, which threatened to transform him into a radank.

 New Jedi Order / int_53ecf83f
comment
Lensman Arms Race: A tactical variant, as both sides adapt and refine their tactics to overcome each others' special abilities: Vong volcano cannons are easily shrugged off by New Republic deflector shields, until the Vong learn their dovin basals can yank the shields right off a ship's hull. The New Republic quickly learns to extend the acceleration compensator envelope to protect their shields. To bypass the shielding singularities Vong ships use to protect themselves from enemy fire, the New Republic develops "splinter fire," lowering the power of their laser weapons so they can fire faster and quickly exhaust the dovin basals, then fire full-power to damage the ship itself. Late in Ruin, the Yuuzhan Vong adapt to this by generating weak voids to defeat splinter fire, which the Republic quickly defeats by upping the power and smashing through with brute force. Missile weapons such as proton torpedoes, being slower-moving, are even less effective against dovin basals. In response, Kyp Durron, a Jedi, fires a torpedo with the rocket motor switched off and aims it with the Force to hit enemy ships. With no active drives, the Vong dovin basals don't know the torpedo is incoming until it's too late. The Jedi Order quickly builds on this by introducing the "shadow bomb", a proton torpedo casing with the drive and warhead removed and replaced with baradium (the powerful explosive in thermal detonators). Also used literally, as the New Republic works hard to find a way jam yammosk coordination. The Vong respond by deploying backup yammosks.

An ordinary Vong warrior is more than a match for a Jedi, if they catch them unawares, mainly because Vong Force immunity means the Jedi's usual Combat Clairvoyance trick doesn't work on them.

No True Scotsman: Vergere is... not remotely approving of Luke's reforms to the Jedi Order, regarding them as not proper Jedi. Jacen's about the only one she figures is closest to her idea of Jediness.

Dark Is Not Evil
 New Jedi Order / int_575fd5e2
comment
Dark Is Not Evil: According to Vergere's philosophy, there is no separate "dark side", and the techniques traditionally associated with it are therefore not evil. Note that Vergere does not reject evil as a philosophical concept, merely that the dark side itself doesn't exist as an external corruptive force. The notion is essentially that whether you stand in the light or fall to the dark is all down to your own decisions.

Fantastic Racism: The Ryn aren't well-liked, to put it mildly. The Vong also hate all other species, and are only marginally fonder of their Shamed Ones. That last bites them in the end.

Eviler than Thou
 New Jedi Order / int_5963b221
comment
Eviler than Thou: The Yuuzhan Vong share a lot of similarities with the Yevetha, genocidal xenophobia and love of pain and bloody deaths among them. About halfway through the war, in exchange for having a group of planets that feared a Duskhan League resurgence surrender to them without a fight, the Vong dispatch a battle group to N'zoth and glass it, wiping out the whole species. Ditto the Ssi-Ruuk: Like the Vong, they're a race of invaders from elsewhere with a rigid caste system, a fanatical religion, a reptilian Slave Race, and a fondness for truly horrific technology. Infiltrated by Vong agents, their Imperium ends up subverted, thrown into disarray, and ultimately invaded.

 New Jedi Order / int_5bb56da
comment
The yammosk in the first book is also significantly more powerful and threatening than any others which would appear later and is revered as something close to a demigod by the Vong. Later yammosks are treated as, essentially, living supercomputers — highly valued and useful, to be sure, but not the superiors or even equals of the Vong themselves. Justified retroactively: the yammosk in Vector Prime is said to have been defective.

Telekinesis is effective as long as you're moving something other than the Yuuzhan Vong himself. Such as propelling a rock as a bullet or bludgeon, Streen's signature wind powers, and Force lightning (the latter discovered by Dark Jedi encountered in Star By Star).

We Have Reserves
 New Jedi Order / int_61c683d2

We Have Reserves: Yuuzhan Vong combat doctrine teaches warriors that to sacrifice their lives and their subordinates is the highest honor. Tsavong Lah follows this trope until they eventually run out of reserves. Supreme Overlord Shimrra actually yells at him for "sending out troops over a rampart of their own dead!" The fact that the Yuuzhan Vong dramatically overextended themselves in rushing to Coruscant, and took heavy casualties along the way, is just about the only thing that lets the New Republic/GFFA regroup and successfully counterattack. Even then, it's a near thing.

Disc-One Final Boss: Runs up to a Disc Three Final Boss, actually. The series is that long. Vector Prime has the Praetorite Vong, an advance guard defeated by technobabble in the same book they're introduced. Replaced by Shedao, Domain Shai. Shedao Shai leads the invasion of the Outer Rim Territories from the second book until Corran Horn kills him during single combat on Ithor in Ruin. Replaced by Warmaster Tsavong Lah. Tsavong Lah, in turn, is killed by Jaina Solo after the Alliance inflicts a decisive defeat on the Vong at Ebaq 9 in Destiny's Way. Supreme Overlord Shimmra, introduced several books earlier, is set up as the final villain. Then it turns out in The Unifying Force that his court jester Onimi is the real Big Bad.

Culture Clash: Early in Hero's Trial, a Vong is talking with a captive from Obroa-Skai, and they get into a discussion on religion. The Vong is totally confused by the idea of doing good not because your gods command it, or because it'll bring reward but doing good because... you know, it's good. On the non-Vong side, Jagged Fel has some early teething troubles thanks to being a human who grew up in Chiss territory, which makes him come across to others as an inconsiderate berk, even when he's apparently trying to be nice. Plus, it's also hinted he's just got No Social Skills anyhow.

Resistance as Planned
 New Jedi Order / int_78f6faf4
comment
Resistance as Planned: Discussed during The Unifying Force by Harrar when he, Luke, and Mara discuss the revelation of Nom Anor being the Prophet. Harrar (correctly) concludes Nom Anor fell in with the Jeedai hersey as a means of surviving his downfall and disgrace after Ebaq 9. The Skywalkers agree, but if that's the case, why then would Nom Anor try to destroy Zonama Sekot — an act which benefits Shimmra and thus weaknes the Executor's position? Harrar's just as puzzled and offers several theories. Among them, he (incorrectly) speculates that it's possible Nom Anor's actually secretly still working for the Supreme Overload. If so, it would mean the heretics are really being used by Shimmra to distract the elite from the ongoing problems with the war effort and terraforming Coruscant (and/or to provide a justiication for purging Yuuzhan Vong society of undesiriables).

No One Gets Left Behind: At the times the Yuuzhan Vong are willing to exploit this through the use of refugees or other hostages. Blackmoon Squadron is a clear believer. Despite being all but certain that one of their wounded members was evacuated already, they go back during a planetary evacuation when his abandoned fighter launches, saying they won't leave their own behind. This ends up saving the life of another pilot who was forced to use the damaged starfighter to escape the planet.

Obviously Evil: The Vong are religious fanatics who enjoy torture and killing, though it should be noted that Blue-and-Orange Morality is in play here; from the Vong perspective, it's the "infidels" who are Obviously Evil. It takes Jacen one conversation with Shesh, which doesn't last more than five minutes, to peg her as being utterly untrustworthy, comparing her directly to pre-Clone Wars Palpatine. Once Jaina passes on this concern to Leia, it takes her only a few moments consideration to figure that, yeah, Shesh is super-suspicious.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 New Jedi Order / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The antics of Kyp Durron and his followers in Vector Prime sabotage Leia's attempts to warn everyone about the Vong during Dark Tide. A particularly cruel variant appears in Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse. The heroes are considering using Centerpoint Station to attack the Yuuzhan Vong fleet to save the critical shipyard world Fondor, but Anakin is torn over whether or not such participating in such a brutal attack would go against his Jedi training. Meanwhile, his evil cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo is all for using the station, and tries to push Anakin into pulling the trigger. In the end, Anakin steadfastly refuses, so Thrackan jumps in and fires the station himself—proceeding to wipe out most of the fleet that the Hapans had sent to aid the Republic. Even worse, Anakin realizes that if he had pulled the trigger, he probably could have successfully wiped out the Vong without hitting the Hapans, since his control over the station is much better than Thrackan's. Luke setting up a Jedi base in the Deep Core during Edge of Victory after the Yuuzhan Vong destroy his Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 will come back to haunt everyone during Fate of the Jedi. In his defense, he had no way of knowing that the Dark Side entity Abeloth was imprisoned in the Deep Core, or that she would turn the young Force users into sleeper agents in an attempt to free herself. Also in Edge of Victory, Talon Karrde uses his pet vornskyrs as a means of locating and rescuing the Jedi on Yavin 4. However the Peace Brigade make note of this and pass the information along to the Yuuzhan Vong, who then use vornskyrs to create the voxyn. Under normal circumstances, the arrival of the Lusankya and its subsequent pasting of the Yuuzhan Vong task force at Borleias near the beginning of Rebel Dream would have been a Gunship Rescue moment. However, prior to its arrival, the New Republic forces at Borleias were counting on stringing along a merely average Yuuzhan Vong commander and fleet in order to fulfill their goals. When the Lusankya killed that commander and wiped out his forces, the Sorting Algorithm of Evil (all but called out by name by Wedge) dictated that the Yuuzhan Vong send a more wily commander with a stronger task force.

Super-Soldier: Vong Slayers, warriors genetically engineered to counter the Jedi. The rank-and-file Vong warriors probably count, since they have armor and weapons that can withstand lightsaber strikes, are (mostly) immune to Force powers, and frequently have implants that make them more formidable than their species baseline (which is already heavily implied to be larger and stronger than the average human).

Midway through Vector Prime, the New Republic Defense Force sends an Imperial-class star destroyer, one of the most feared ships in Star Wars and practically a naval task force unto itself, to take out the Praetorite Vong's beachhead. It gets blown away with relative ease (although that's partly because its captain was tremendously overconfident).

Eldritch Abomination: Several different species of Vonglife, most notably yammosks and their cousins, dhuryams.

They're generally not as outright evil as their masters, but their alien-ness can be every bit as dangerous. Many of the Vong gods also have this feel to them.

After the fall of Coruscant and Borsk Fey'lya's Heroic Sacrifice, the Bothans declare ar'krai on the Vong, and the Dark Nest Trilogy mentions that there are still extremists trying to carry it out.

Take a Third Option: Vergere tells Jacen that he, as the one with the power, is the gardener; he must decide if the ones around him are flowers or weeds. The first time we hear this, it's in the context of Jacen trying to treat the wounds of the other slaves on the seedship, and with no way to save them all; naturally he interprets this as his responsibility to choose who lives and dies. But as time goes by he realizes Vergere's true meaning: all the slaves are worth saving. The warriors who kill them? The dhuryam who use them as tools? They're the weeds, and they have lessons to learn.

Subspace Ansible: Yuuzhan Vong villips, paired creatures engineered to reshape and recolor their bodies to resemble the person on the other end. Because each villip can only communicate to one other villip, mass communication requires them to be organized into "villip choirs". There's a subplot in the penultimate novel, The Final Prophecy, that the Yuuzhan Vong have started targeting relay satellites for the Holonet, which allows galaxy-wide real-time holographic communication. As such, small, fast ships like the Millennium Falcon get put to use as couriers for a time. Of course, it then begs the question of why the Vong didn't do this earlier in the invasion?

Later on has a character discussing ship-types comparing the Millennium Falcon among other ship-types to Nubian J-Type starships (the book was released in 2002, when Attack of the Clones was just out). The last book has a ship infected by a Vong-destroying plague head towards Zonama Sekot. Wedge jumps into an X-Wing and takes off after it, comparing the two to Luke and the Death Star. He needs to pick a call sign and chooses "Vader".

comment
Elite Mooks: An ordinary Vong warrior is more than a match for a Jedi, if they catch them unawares, mainly because Vong Force immunity means the Jedi's usual Combat Clairvoyance trick doesn't work on them. Later in the series, they become somewhat less formidable as the Jedi become wise to their weak spots. They're still probably the most impressive mooks in the entire GFFA. The GFFA develops its own Mecha-Mooks countermeasure in Star By Star with Tendrando Arms Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droids, equipped with self-healing structural materials, a blaster cannon that can bring down a coralskipper at full power, and a sensor package capable of ferreting out disguised Vong. They're devastating when deployed, though too expensive for common use.

The Dog Was the Mastermind: The Yuuzhan Vong's leader is Shimrra, the Supreme Overlord, a god king who truly looks the part. At the liberation of Coruscant, it's revealed that he's been controlled through the Force by his jester Onimi, a being so far beneath him he was considered little more than a pet.

My God, What Have I Done?

comment
My God, What Have I Done?: Saba Sebatyne's reaction to inadvertently killing hundreds of her fellow Barabels by destroying a Yuuzhan Vong slave transport in anger in Remnant. She's troubled by what she had done, which leads her to attempt a daring capture of a similar slave ship later on in the book. Nom Anor, of all people, has one after he sics a bunch of warriors on a gathering of Shamed Ones (Shamed Ones who were following his teachings, no less) and saw them get slaughtered. It didn't really lead to a full-on Heel–Face Turn, but it did show that Anor was starting to develop standards.

Eye Scream: Corran Horn's first fight with a pair of Vong troopers has him take out the first, and more inexperienced, with a lightsaber to the eye, thanks to the unique design of his lightsaber (it has a second focusing crystal that he can engage to suddenly double the length of the blade). He notes it only worked because they didn't expect it, and it won't work on the second. Vua Rapuung's method of taking out an opponent involves gouging out his eyes with his fingers and then lifting and throwing him aside by his eye sockets.

Karma Houdini: The entire Yuuzhan Vong race. While genocide might go against Jedi principles and the entire morality of the Star Wars, considering that the Vong destroyed entire planets, killed trillions of innocent beings, and even exterminated entire races (not only in the Star Wars Galaxy but their own home galaxy as well), it's understandable that many in-universe (and among the audience) felt cheated when they were allowed to depart in peace after the war's end. This is arguable, though: among other things, the victorious allies forcibly disarm the Vong, and the Shamed Ones, previously the lowest of the low in their culture, become the new ruling class instead of the previously exalted warrior caste.

comment
Unusable Enemy Equipment: Justified, in that despite its usefulness (who wouldn't want a weapon that could coil up out of the way, spit poison, be used as a whip, cut up metal, and block a lightsaber blade?), using Yuuzhan Vong equipment generally results in a lot of pain even (or especially) if you do it right. And that's not even counting things like the Vonduun Crab Armor, which will usually try to kill anyone but a Vong who wears it. In the chronologically later Legacy, several characters, most notably Jariah Syn, do use Vongtech regularly, and it's pretty useful, especially against Jedi or Sith, though by that point the Vong were much friendlier and more willing to share their secrets—Jariah had a Vong warrior as a mentor who taught him a lot.

Subverted with Nen Yim and Tahiri. They have very personal reasons to hate each other (Nen was part of the team that experiemented on a captive Tahiri; Tahiri killed Nen's mentor while escaping), but when they actually meet up again, they're initially antagonistic, but end of letting go of their hate for each other and end up in something of an Odd Friendship. Of course, Tahiri's Vong memories were adapted from Nen's, so it's perhaps unsurprising that they would develop a strong rapport against all odds.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: The Vong see themselves as noble heroes purging a terrible taint from the galaxy, but their culture is so plain crazy that it's difficult for either the audience or other characters to have any sympathy for them whatsoever. This has the added bonus of making negotiating with them nearly impossible. Perfectly summed up when it is revealed that the best translation for "peace" in the Yuuzhan Vong language is "appropriate submission of the conquered to the conqueror."

Pyrrhic Victory: Wedge's forces on Borleias manage to hand one of these to the Yuuzhan Vong, sacrificing a Super Star Destroyer (but not its crew or weapons; they were all relocated to other ships) to destroy a worldship and one of the Yuuzhan Vong's best generals. The Yuuzhan Vong gain the planet, but with far greater losses than Wedge's forces suffered. Said general is fully aware that his victory was not worth the cost, and reports as much to the Warmaster, all but spelling out its a blow from which the Vong are unlikely to recover. Meanwhile Wedge achieved his primary objective—to delay the Vong while what was left of the Republic got itself sorted out and became the Galactic Alliance—albeit at a greater cost than he intended.

Epic Fail: On Anakin Solo's part at the Battle of Fondor. When the Vong unexpectedly attack the strategic shipyard world, Anakin takes control of Centerpoint Station (a Pointless Doomsday Device from The Corellian Trilogy), but then at Jacen's unexplained urging refuses to fire it (probably a result of the early books' poorly explained aversion to using leftover Imperial superweapons to fight the invaders). But the station is still active, so his cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo grabs the controls and fires it himself. The ensuing blast destroys half of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, and the Hapan fleet that just arrived to reinforce the defenders, and smashes part of Fondor's moon, and clips the planet on its way past (cue Inferred Holocaust). The battle becomes a Pyrrhic Victory for the Republic (and that only because the opposing general withdraws in fear of further such attacks) and causes a political shitstorm in the Hapes Consortium that tips the balance of power to its Evil Matriarch Queen Mother Ta'a Chume, while the sudden death toll carried through the Force causes her daughter-in-law Teneniel Djo to miscarry. Meanwhile Sal-Solo, who was the villain in his first appearance and did a stint in prison for an attempted coup against the Corellian system's New Republic government, is lauded as a war hero on Corellia and gets himself elected Governor-General (setting up part of Legacy of the Force). To cap it all off, Centerpoint Station is damaged to disablement by Sal-Solo's manhandling, and Anakin admits afterward that if he'd fired Centerpoint Station himself, he could have taken out the Vong fleet without causing all that damage.

Scary Dogmatic Aliens: The Yuuzhan Vong seem to be a combination of the Nazi and religious forms of this trope. Their culture has a rigid caste system, each of which has a patron god, allows only the use of biotechnology and they harbor an extreme revulsion towards "built things." Rites of passage involve the sacrifice of body parts, the grafting of new body parts, tattooing and mutilation which leaves scars that they view as attractive. They also exhibit a more or less religious devotion to pain, and enslave or kill anyone who does not adhere to their beliefs.

comment
Demoted to Extra: Han, in Dark Tide, makes only two appearances, one for both books. In fairness, he's having a bad time. Also, Threepio. Tenel Ka in the second half of the series. The last book that really focuses on her goes over, in great detail, her grief over the apparent death of her long-time Love Interest Jacen Solo. Then Jacen comes back — and Tenel Ka is barely mentioned. She makes a brief cameo when Jacen returns to the Republic, but doesn't interact with him in any way. Jacen, for his part, doesn't even spare a thought to the girl that's one of his oldest friends and also been in love with him since they were 14. Later writers would avert this in future story arcs, making her a major character again and playing up her relationship with Jacen.

Knight Templar: Most of the Vong are like this, viewing the inhabitants of the galaxy as corrupt infidels who need to be converted or exterminated, and some on the New Republic side become like this against the Vong. Lampshaded by Nom Anor in Traitor- "The problem with fanatics was that they had a tendency to take everything ten steps too far."

On the non-Vong side, Jagged Fel has some early teething troubles thanks to being a human who grew up in Chiss territory, which makes him come across to others as an inconsiderate berk, even when he's apparently trying to be nice. Plus, it's also hinted he's just got No Social Skills anyhow.

Weaksauce Weakness
 New Jedi Order / int_c09dbbbb
comment
Weaksauce Weakness: Coralskippers and their dovin basals can generate singularities to soak up laser-fire... but at the cost of manueverability, and vice-versa. The dovin basal also turned out to have a major weakness when used for shielding that was eventually exploited by the Alliance. Specifically, the singularity they generated was great for intercepting laser blasts, but it took the same amount of energy to generate the singularity regardless of how powerful the incoming shot was (contrast standard shields, which lose power relative to how damaging the hit was). All you had to do was use a More Dakka approach with low-power shots, wear down the dovin basal's energy reserves (or, more accurately for biotech, it just plain got tired), and it couldn't protect the ship any more.

New Powers as the Plot Demands
 New Jedi Order / int_c26e2b1
comment
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Luke — and later Kyp — is able to manipulate the little singularities which Vong ships produce to absorb attacks, making them into somewhat bigger singularities which swallow the Vong ships. Neither of them does it more than once, though—Luke goes unconscious from the effort, and while Kyp doesn't pass out from his effort, he still ends up exhausted. Luke is also able to communicate with a tank of goo made of single-celled creatures that devour all organic matter, nanite-style, telling them "I am not food" so he can climb in and get something. This leads to him ruefully saying, "I should have told it 'My clothes are not food, either.'"

Family-Values Villain
 New Jedi Order / int_c287be68
comment
Family-Values Villain: To a degree. Brutal and vicious as they are, the Vong have an incredibly strong sense of familial loyalty and devotion, far stronger than most humans do, though they tend to aim this at their domains (extended families or clans) rather than at immediate blood relatives. Played interestingly in the Force Heretic books, where Tahiri's Vong personality re-emerging makes her more unstable and violent, but also causes her to glom onto the Solos even more tightly than she ever had before, as they were the closest thing to living family she had. Other characters explicitly discuss how in-line with Vong family values she's acting.

Boom, Headshot!
 New Jedi Order / int_c3585f4a
comment
On the gound, Yuuzhan Vong ranged weapons are distinctly lackluster, having no real equivalent to a blaster (their thud bugs are quite a surprise, but easy to deal with once you're aware of them) and Vong warriors have to close to melee range to do any real damage. Unfortunately, their armor and weapons are capable of withstanding hits from lightsabers, so it takes a rather impressive amount of blasterfire to down the average Vong (though as their armor leaves their faces exposed, headshots work pretty well if you're a good marksman).

Gunship Rescue
 New Jedi Order / int_c558da6a
comment
Under normal circumstances, the arrival of the Lusankya and its subsequent pasting of the Yuuzhan Vong task force at Borleias near the beginning of Rebel Dream would have been a Gunship Rescue moment. However, prior to its arrival, the New Republic forces at Borleias were counting on stringing along a merely average Yuuzhan Vong commander and fleet in order to fulfill their goals. When the Lusankya killed that commander and wiped out his forces, the Sorting Algorithm of Evil (all but called out by name by Wedge) dictated that the Yuuzhan Vong send a more wily commander with a stronger task force.

Insane Troll Logic: During a debate on the nature of the Old Jedi Order in Ruin, one advocate for militarizing claims that since there are no records the Jedi weren't warriors, they can't prove they weren't, and anyone who says otherwise is just reaching, QED. For the record, the person saying such turns out to be going a little nuts. When Luke tells Kre'fey about the time he and Mara found the Empire of the Hand, Krey states there are those in the New Republic who would take Luke's hiding this knowledge as proof he was trying to create a Jedi hegemony using the Chiss. Corran even points out how that doesn't make a lick of sense, which Krey acknowledges, just noting it's what might happen. A guy from Obroa-Skai pleading for assistance from the New Republic somehow comes to the conclusion it's the Jedi's fault the Vong invaded and conquered his world.

Curb Stomp Cushion: Several of the Vong's most crushing victories (Coruscant, Borileias, Ithor, etc), were only won at the cost of huge losses on the Vong side. This eventually reaches the point where, about halfway through the series, they literally run out of reserves, and are forced to adapt a more defensive strategy.

Shout-Out: Take a look at a Yuuzhan Vong Hunter droid, then compare it to a Terminator minus its human disguise. Wholly deliberate, since the Vong (minus scars, tattoos, implants, skin color, and possibly absence of nose) look basically human, and the YVH droids were meant to look like mechanical mockeries of Yuuzhan Vong specifically to piss them off. A pair of Vong creatures are named Beater and Biter.

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: A couple of Vong examples, most notably Nom Anor (who's utterly evil in a way completely different from his fellows- they're fanatical Knight Templars and he's a manipulative power-grabber) and Nen Yim (who is too coldly logical to go along with the more... crazy beliefs of her people, though she only starts openly going against the grain near the end). Harrar, a Yuuzhan Vong priest who appears several times throughout the series, also shows himself to be a pretty reasonable and open-minded person.

Veteran Instructor: Czulkang Lah is depicted as the epitome of wisdom (for the Vong) and far more reasonable and rational then many of his counterparts. Rather then delivering brutal punishment as a Drill Sergeant Nasty, he uses very small punishments, the minimum he can for his society, and emphasizes personal honor as a reason to succeed. He is comparatively soft spoken, thinks carefully before acting, and is willing, much like his son, to dirty himself with technology to gain a better understanding of his foes. It helps that he is also a retired leader from before the invasion, reduced to training the next generation of officers after he was forcibly retired.

"Eureka!" Moment
 New Jedi Order / int_d129e13e
comment
"Eureka!" Moment: While working with Cal Omas to reform the Jedi Council in Destiny's Way, Luke has a realization about the old Order and their relationship with the Old Republic — or more specifically, the Supreme Chancellor. Because the old Order was insular and secretive, their primary link to the world outside the Temple was the Supreme Chancellor. While this arrangement benefited both parties, it was also a double-edged lightsaber. Once a malevolent figure like Palpatine got into the Chancellor's Office and became that link, it was game over; Palpatine was able to cut off, isolate, and destroy the old Jedi. This makes Luke realize the new Council must never again be so isolated.

Decisive Battle
 New Jedi Order / int_d13d59a9
comment
Decisive Battle: Book Ends Destiny's Way, which is essentially the war's version of the Normandy invasion. It begins with the Alliance ambushing and destroying a sizable Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Obroa-Skai, seeking to assassinate Supreme Overlord Shimmra who turned out not to be aboard. After this, Shimmra complains to his generals that the loss of this fleet means the Yuuzhan Vong no longer have any strategic reserve and berates them for advancing into the galaxy "over a rampart of our own dead". The book then ends with the Alliance luring in and decisively destroying a fleet led by Warmaster Tsavong Lah at Ebaq 9; Lah ejects and is killed on the ground by Jaina Solo. The war continues for another five books, but after Destiny's Way it's pretty much all downhill for the Vong.

What, Exactly, Is His Job?
 New Jedi Order / int_d1726c18
comment
What, Exactly, Is His Job?: Discussed somewhat obliquely in Destiny's Way, which includes a scene where Fyor Rodan, a New Republic politician, gets into it with Luke over the proper role of the Jedi Order in the war. Rodan wants to incorporate the Jedi into the regular military chain of command with all that entails, including subjecting them to the military justice system when they screw up. Luke prefers the status quo of an autonomous Jedi Order where the Jedi can follow the will of the Force and intervene in the war as needed.

Teen Genius: Nen Yim is somewhere in her late teens/early twenties (or at least the Vong equivalent) and as far and away the most brilliant Shaper in the whole series. Of course, a lot of that comes from her being one of the few willing to practice a certain heresy called the scientific method.

What the Hell, Hero?: A number of characters criticize Jaina for her use of Force lightning after her brother's death, spending too much time with Ta'a Chume, providing a test subject for a Mad Scientist, abusing a life debt and sending pilots on suicide runs, to name a few in Dark Journey. Kyp Durron explodes at Luke when it looks like after years of lecturing about what not to do, Luke's suddenly gone and changed his mind. He's slightly mollified when Luke explains his reasoning.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale
 New Jedi Order / int_d525f857
comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Played straight, or averted, or subverted, Depending on the Writer: In Vector Prime, Sernpidal apparently orbits its star at the same distance our moon orbits Earth. While this could potentially work were Sernpidal's star a White Dwarf it is also the third (or fifth; there are conflicting accounts) planet of that star system. Averted with ehe estimated death toll for the war of an estimated 365 trillion lives. The Star Wars galaxy was stated to have over a million inhabited world, which lowballing an average population of one billion, would give a total population of at least 1000 trillion. 365 trillion casualties would be viable especially since the Yuuzhan Vong invasion caused an unprecedented amount of violence and destruction, with many planets completely depopulated, in the galaxies over 25,000 year history.note  365 trillion is about 182,500 times the number of people who died - 2 billion - when the Death Start destroyed Alderaan. Also averted with the final battle over Coruscant. One of the most massive battles to ever take place in the galaxy, casaulties were massive on both sides. On the Alliance side along five million people were killed, 300 capital ships were destroyed, and over 11,000 starfighters were destroyed. Star by Star has the Vong take a fleet of refugee ships containing millions hostage, as opposed to the billions you'd expect. The likely explanation is in how many people didn't survive long enough to become refugees.

Arc Welding: Supposedly, a lot of Palpatine's actions were to prepare for the coming invasion, at least according to Empire supporters. Thrawn's definitely were.note Zahn had previously elaborated and/or retconned (depending on your point of view) Thrawns's motivations into wanting to protect the galaxy from invaders in Hand of Thrawn. The NJO established that the Vong were the threat he feared, and later books like Outbound Flight support this.

Homeworld Evacuation
 New Jedi Order / int_e5a93e61

Homeworld Evacuation: The Yuuzhan Vong underwent a home galaxy evacuation, after massive wars of conquest and then internecine wars they started devastated so much of it that it was rendered incapable of sustaining their civilization (their actual homeworld was destroyed first, and it's implied that they were the ones who did it). After travelling through the intergalactic void for millennia, they finally found the Star Wars galaxy—and decided to take over. Out-of-universe, it was also speculated that they were fleeing the Silentium-Abominor War, which would explain their belief that technology is unholy. Word of God confirmed the reverse was true: a Star Wars' blog entry clarified a line by Harrar in The Unifying Force that the Vong had actually kicked out the two robot species, which also fled to the GFFA.

Aliens Never Invented the Wheel: Played with in the Force Heretic trilogy, which visits the Chiss homeworld Csilla for the first time in Legends. The protagonists are baffled by a library of paper books and a card catalog: the rest of the galaxy has been all-electronic for so long none of them have ever seen paper before (George Lucas didn't allow any paper to ever appear on screen in the first six films for this reason). The Chiss still use them due to considering them more durable than electronics in Csilla's climate.

Exact Words: Shedao tells Elegos he plans to have him send a message to the New Republic they cannot misinterpret. Said message is Elegos' corpse. The Ithorians supposedly have it as a rule that no outsider can step foot on Ithor. Except not exactly. Early in Hero's Trial, Priestess Elan asks Vergere if she's ever seen a Jedi use the Force. In a move that'd make Obi-Wan seethe, Vergere states that yes, she certainly has. She just doesn't specify to Elan that this is by way of having been a Jedi before the Vong abducted her (which the reader might not necessarily know about, and Vergere doesn't make explicit in the book until the very end).

Elite Agents Above the Law: In Destiny's Way, Luke has a less-than-cordial encounter with a New Republic politician named Fyor Rodan, who wants to remove this trope from the Jedi. He seeks to make the Jedi Order a formal branch of the New Republic military, which among other things would make it possible to Court Martial Jedi Knights who fall to the dark side or otherwise go rogue. Luke prefers to keep the Order independent, feeling, as the Old Republic's Jedi did, that their purpose is to serve the Force rather than the political and military needs of the Republic.

 New Jedi Order / int_ec0ce986

Spotting the Thread: In Hero's Trial, Han notices something very suspicious with Elan and Vergere's apparent defection, capture and escape, along with the fact the Vong ship pursuing the Falcon is missing way too much. He manages to single-handedly scupper Elan's entire plan then and there.

Mundane Utility: The Force is what gives the Jedi their power. It allows them to move objects with their mind, influence the weak-minded and animals... during Dark Tide: Onslaught, it's used by Kyp as a glorified umbrella to keep sand off him.

Combat by Champion: The fate of planet Ithor is decided by a single battle between Corran and Shedao Shai. And then ignored by his subordinate, who torches the place even after he's lost.

Earn Your Happy Ending
 New Jedi Order / int_f64a9cf7
comment
Earn Your Happy Ending: The Unifying Force for the series as a whole. The Yuuzhan Vong surrender and give up warfare, but dozens of planets have been devastated or destroyed, 365 trillion people lie deadnote and that's just the agreed-upon figure; nobody has any actual idea what the real number is, the New Republic has fallen, and the Jedi Order is in tatters. There's also the Ithorians. While Ithor was devastated by the Vong, by the time of Star Wars: Legacy its surface, while still requiring oxygen masks and pressure suits, is starting to regain some of its former plant life.

Go-Go Enslavement
 New Jedi Order / int_f8117297
comment
Go-Go Enslavement: Downplayed. When Danni Quee is captured in Vector Prime, she's described as wearing only a poncho, and pretty clearly naked underneath. Justified, as the conditions of her capture require the Vong to pretty regularly put an ooglith cloaker on her, and they require large amounts of bare skin to work (the Vong also likely found her machine-made garments offensive). When Jedi Miko Reglia joins her in captivity, he's only wearing a pair of tight shorts. Neither case is played for Fanservice (at least, not on the Vong's part), as Yomin Carr's internal monologue had made it quite clear he finds Danni physically repulsive.

The rank-and-file Vong warriors probably count, since they have armor and weapons that can withstand lightsaber strikes, are (mostly) immune to Force powers, and frequently have implants that make them more formidable than their species baseline (which is already heavily implied to be larger and stronger than the average human).

What Other Galaxies?
 New Jedi Order / int_fee27b35

What Other Galaxies?: The Yuuzhan Vong are from another galaxy, which earned the nickname of Far Outsiders. They act akin to how humankind sees aliens — an invading species undetectable by common means (in this case, The Force). With an added flavor of Scary Dogmatic Aliens and organically-built technology.
