Net.Guide to the Yuuzhan Vong
Chapter One:
Introduction
"But to Han Solo, the Galaxy suddenly seemed a more dangerous place by far."
-Vector Prime, R. A. Salvatore
In the farthest edges of the known Galaxy, life seems very slow. Away from the Core, without any strategic significance, many worlds of the Outer Rim are little more than havens for those who wish to avoid excitement. Sleepy planets scatter throughout the night sky, passing each day without anything more exciting than a passing comet noted by their inhabitants.
But one such world learned that there is more to fear on the backwater planets of the Outer Rim than first suspected. An ExGal station on the remote planet of Belkadan learned this lesson the hard way, with only a single survivor left to tell the tale.
The following is an excerpt from Voren Na'al, Director of Research for the New Republic Inner Couincil, and former ExGal Researcher Danni Quee, following her flight from Belkadan.
Na'al: Please state your name for the purposes of record keeping.
Quee: Danni Quee.
Na'al: Thank you. Now, Ms. Quee, you were a member of the ExGal research team on Belkadan. Can you tell me exactly what your particular station was doing out there?
Quee: Yes, we were watching the edges of our known Galaxy for signs of extragalactic life, like the rest of the ExGal facilities.
Na'al: And had you ever seen anything beyond the Galaxy before?
Quee: No. In fact, most hyperspace researchers thought we were wasting our time.
Na'al: And why is that?
Quee: Because of the Hyperspace Barrier theory. They think - thought -- there was a barrier around the outer edge of our Galaxy making space travel beyond it impossible.
Na'al: And you've recently discovered otherwise.
Quee: Yes. The Vong came through without a problem.
Na'al: When did you first notice the invaders?
Quee: We saw what we thought at the time was an asteroid, coming in on a vector that would have been outside our Galaxy. Of course we were all excited, but we tried not to be too hasty…
Na'al: Which is why you didn't notify anyone of your findings.
Quee: Yes, but had we known then what we know now…anyways, we watched it collide with the ice planet, and when it didn't explode, we knew something was amiss.
Na'al: So, you went to investigate.
Quee: Exactly. We thought we would be alright, we hadn't seen any signs of Imperial forces in years. Despite some minor malfunctions on the planet, we took off from the planet anyway, and went to see what we could discover.
Na'al: I have a note here about a biological disaster on Belkadan. Could you shed some light on that?
Quee: Of course…there were several unnatural storms sweeping over the planet, which contained toxic chemicals. When I checked into it, these biological storms had covered the entire planet, making it uninhabitable.
Na'al: I see. Any idea why they would destroy the ecosystem of a planet that has apparently no tactical value?
Quee: It's what they do. Destroy. They destroyed Belkadan, Dubrillion and Destrillion, and Miko. I can't think that they would do it for any other reason than to add to their path of destruction.

Could you give D20 statsw on the Chazrach please. Thank you, and May the Force be with you.---.---.213.82 |

Could you include D20 stats for the Vong types listed here. Again thank you.---.---.213.82 |

How about a D20 conversion of this document? That would be very valuable, at least to me.
[Admin: To be honest, before I undertake a conversion that massive, I'm trying to cover the rest of my stats first. I know it'd be valuable, but I'm struggling to get individual conversions done and still provide new material.]

Is it just me, or is this guide somewhat incomplete? The document just ends on the second sentence of the Coombs section in chapter eight. Anyway, just wanted to let you know in case you didn't. Love the site! Thanks for all the work devoted to it!---.---.21.47 |
