On 8:6 of NRY 56, an ExGal station on Belkadan registered a large asteroid-sized mass moving slowly towards the fourth planet of the Helska system. Its trajectory appeared to be extragalactic, which seemed impossible at the time. However, while the mass did intersect with the planet, it appeared not to cause any damage.
Reports from Belkadan ceased soon after a Spacecaster-class shuttle lifted off from the planet to investigate the odd occurence. Investigation afterwards found evidence of a massive ecological change within a period of hours. It appeared to be biological in origin. Other evidence included a pile of destroyed equipment, ranging from a droid to a children's electronic toy.
To back up these findings, Jedis Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker were attacked by an elite humanoid warrior, calling himself a "Yuuzhan Vong," who very nearly killed them both. Later statements from the two were both intriguing and worrying at the same time - the warrior seemed to not exist in the Force.
With the utter destruction of Sernpidal, an attack by Yuuzhan Vong starfighters (aka "coralskippers"), and the discovery of a base on Helska 4, a NR assault force was dispatched to take care of what the government considered to be pirates. However, when much of the force was destroyed by the enemy (possibly with telepathic assistance from a "yammosk"), a daring plan was concocted.
Giant shieldships were jumped in to reflect the large amount of energy enmanating from the enemy base. This managed to destroy both the base and the planet, ending the threat...for the time being. Soon, though, the main body of the Yuuzhan Vong force entered through the vanguard's invasion corridor.They subjugated planet after planet, as well as starting some kind of massive shipbuilding project made of the remains of Sernpidal.
The Yuuzhan Vong fleet fought with NR and Remnant forces over and on Ithor. However, a truce was declared so that a proxy battle could take place between Jedi Corran Horn and the enemy commander, Shedao Shai. Shai lost, and his second, Deign Lian, proceeded to wipe out the planet using bacteria that dissolved all life on the planet. The enemy flagship was destroyed, but the tragedy of Ithor serves as a reminder of many of Jedi Horn's failure.
As the casualties mounted, so did the list of captured planets: Obroa-skai, the great library world; Ord Mantell, a center of trade and commerce for the sector; Gyndine, major shipyard for the Mid Rim; and beautiful Tynna, home of the peace-loving Tynnans. A Jedi assassination plot was stopped by retired general Han Solo, but Vong sympathizer groups like the Peace Brigade have formed to assist the enemy. They are only terrorists - no more, no less.
The latest casualty of the war is Fondor. One of the major shipyards in the New Republic, Fondor at one time put out many Super Star Destroyers of various classifications. It was recently tasked with building Bothan Assault Cruisers and additional Mon Calamari Star Cruisers for the war effort. Now, with its capture, the ability of the NR to produce its capital ships is severely diminished. Hopefully a solution will be found before the galaxy is taken over.

In this sections you said that Fondor was captured by the Vong. That is incorrect. Although the shipyards in that system were destoryed Fondor is still New Republic territory.---.---.204.186 |

you know, I always thought the idea of "aliens invading from another galaxy" was kinda corny, particularly since they "didn't exist in the Force"(?). I also think that the yuuzhan shouldnt be an official part of wotc's rpg campaign.
This is just my opinion, if other people want the Vong thats fine too. :)
Just my 2 decicredits :)---.---.37.70 |

I am returning back to SWRPG after years of being away and I am working up a campaign (still using WEG). I read in the WOTC core rule book a little about the Vong, but as I was borrowing the book and didn't like the new rules, some of the info has slipped my mind. The Vong are not a key part of my campaign but I like to use current events to flesh out the campaign.
What I really want to know is: the book mentions a Vong in disguise as a human that is spreading anti-jedi propaganda through some group called the Red Knights (or something like that). What is this guy's name, and what is the real name of the organization? Can you give me any other source material I can use as "current events"?

The agents name is Nom Anor and he's been around stirring up troubles in the Galaxy for quite some time. I believe that the group was called the Red Knights, can't remember exactly it's been a while since I read the book. Don't know if any of the Red Knights survived the war on Rhommanool though.---.---.11.7 |
