Mezhan Kwaad
Mezhan Kwaad was the Yuuzhan Vong shaper put in charge of discovering the source of [thee Force]] within the Jedi. After Tahiri Veila was captured on Yavin IV, Kwaad decided to use her to map out the nervous system of humans. After accomplishing that, Kwaad attempted to convert Tahiri into the Von society, almost succeeding. By causing pain whenever Tahiri attempted to remember her Jedi past and no pain when she remembered the memories put there by the Vong she slowly transformed the young Jedi. However, this all came apart when she was accused of herasy, right so, and being removed from Yavin IV. Then, Vua Rapuung, Kwaad's former lover, and Anakin Solo attacked. Kwaad admitted to causing Rapuung to become a Shamed One and proclaimed that there were no gods. She was then killed by Tahiri Veila
Nen Yim
Nen Yim was a Yuuzhan Vong shaper. She was trained by the shaper Mezhan Kwaad, picked because of Yim's heretical beliefs about the Yuuzhan Vong religion. Nen Yim and Mezhan Kwaad worked together on the planet Yavin IV trying to convert the young jedi Tahiri Veila. Unluckily for Yim, Anakin Solo rescued Tahiri and in the process killed Kwaad. Yim was then taken before Warmaster Tsavong Lah and ordered to work in preserving the dying worldships on which the Yuuzhan Vong traveled. Her heretical work caught the attention of Supreme Overlord Shimrra who sent his jester Omiri to "aid" Yim by accessing the Eighth Cortex of Shaper Knowledge, only to discover that it was empty. She then worked to aid Warmaster Tsavong Lah after his radank claw arm began to be rejeted. After unconvering a plot by the shapers and priests to make the Warmaster into a Shamed One, Yim was able to fix his arm. She later travelled to the living world of Zonama Sekot along with Tahiri, Corran Horn, high priest Harrar, and a disguised Nom Anor. On the surface, she managed to learn the secret of Zonama Sekot, and how it related to the Yuuzhan Vong, but was killed by Anor before she could tell anyone. Before she died, she had made amends with Tahiri Veila, and learned that the childhood memories implanted into the young Jedi, were, in fact, here own.
Nom Anor
Nom Anor is of the Yuuzhan Vong. He is a member of the intendant caste of the Yuuzhan Vong, and his duties were mostly espionage.
He was essential in "softening up" the Star Wars galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, mainly by spreading dissent and confusion among the New Republic's member planets.
However, he was also responsible for some of the worst setbacks the Yuuzhan Vong faced.
Through the entire war of the Star Wars galaxy against the Yuuzhan Vong, Nom Anor won some considerable victories.
- Stirred up dissention between two New Republic member planets at the start of The New Jedi Order.
- Created the Peace Brigade, a pro-Yuuzhan Vong organization that was responsible for the capture of several Jedi and the weakening of the Republic's war front.
- He was the leader of the heretical Jeedai cult which receive support from the Yuuzhan Vong underclass.
However, he was also responsible for some of the worst setbacks the Yuuzhan Vong faced.
- Was responsible for the New Republic-won battle of Ebaq 9, due to enemy misinformation.
- Attempted to assassinate most of the Jedi with bo'tus using the deception-sect priestess Elan.
- Tried and failed to kill Mara Jade Skywalker with coomb spores.
- He failed in trying to destroy the living world Zonama Sekot.
He died in the final book of The New Jedi Order series, The Unifying Force, along with Onimi, Supreme Overlord Shimrra's minion, though fans believe his "off-screen" death was left ambiguous enough to allow a comeback in post-NJO novels - and rumors coming from the OS have claimed that in the upcoming Denning trilogy, Nom Anor would make a "sweeping return".

Onimi
While Onimi seemed weak, with his torso twisted, with short limbs and small hands, his worst feature was his wretched face. Despite his dimunitive and pitiful appearance, he possessed a connection to the Force that has been lost to other Yuuzhan Vong for many thousand of years. This gave him the power to manipulate the minds of others.
His most deadly weapon was his ability to produce toxins lethal to all who were infected by them. Under the guise of court jester to Supreme Overlord Shimrra, he secretly controlled the Overlord and, consequently, the entire Yuuzhan Vong. His identity as the mastermind of the invading race was revealed towards the end of the book The Unifying Force, when Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo penetrated the Supreme Overlord's chambers in an effort to quickly end the war.
He was killed by Jacen Solo, cementing the Jedi's place as one of the strongest of the New Jedi Order.
==Shedao Shai== Shedao Shai was the advance leader for the Yuuzhan Vong. Shai led the Vong on their conquest of Belkadan, Helska, Dubrillion, and other planets. After Corran Horn slayed two of Shai's relatives Shai vowed to kill Horn. Shedao Shai was also responsible for the death of the Caamasi Senator Elegos A'Kla and sending his body to Horn. After this Horn challenged Shai to a one on one battle to decide the fate of the planet Ithor. Shai was defeated by Corran Horn, but Ithor's plant and animal life was destroyed by Shai's second-in-command.
Supreme Overlord Shimrra
Supreme Overlord Shimrra is the leader of the Yuuzhan Vong. Little does he know that his warlord plots to overthrow him as soon as he has the chance. He was killed in the New Jedi Order novel, The Unifying Force when the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances retook Coruscant.
Physically, Shimrra is imposing. Tall, even by the standards of the Yuuzhan Vong, he is also heavily built. He is feared in combat for his prowess, and he fought a duel with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker when the Galactic Federation returned to Yuuzhan'tar, or Coruscant. After Luke, and Jacen and Jaina Solo fought off his elite group of bodyguards, Luke faced Shimrra, while Jaina and Jacen followed his escaping servant Onimi. Luke struggled against Shimrra, but eventually slew him by severing his head with two lightsabers.
Little did the Jedi know that there was more to Onimi than met the eye. Being the last Yuuzhan Vong to possess a connection to the Force, he used mind controlling toxins to bend Shimrra to his will, and thus while posing as his jester, the cackling and deformed Onimi in truth bore supreme control over the entirety of the Yuuzhan Vong.
Tsavong Lah
Tsavong Lah was Warmaster of the Yuuzhan Vong during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. He inherited the post from his father, a rarity, as Warmasters tend to die in combat. He was a deadly enemy of Luke Skywalker's New Jedi Order, even offering to halt the campaign if the New Republic surrendered the Jedi to him, and he specifically requested Jacen Solo alive. He spearheaded many of the Yuuzhan Vong's campaigns including the successful capture of Coruscant. Like all Yuuzhan Vong, Tsavong Lah had organic implants in his body, including a vua'sar foreleg. He was slain during the Battle of Ebaq 9 by Jaina Solo.
Vua Rapuung
Vua Rapuung was once a great warrior of the Yuuzhan Vong. He fell in love with the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad, but was forced to break it off with with her so avoid it being discovered. However, Kwaad was not pleased with this and infected Rapuung with a disease that made him into a Shamed One. Rapuung knew that he was not hated by the gods but nobody believed him. Then in the forests of Yavin IV, Vua met the Jedi Anakin Solo. Rapuung agreed to help Anakin save his friend Tahiri Veila if Anakin helped Vua redeem himself in the Yuuzhan Vong community. The two snuck into the Shaper's area. There, Anakin pretended to be a slave and Rapuung hid among the Shamed Ones. Eventualy, the two attacked the Shamer's main. Vua eventually challenged an entire group of warriors and won. After saving Tahiri Veila, Anakin Solo and Vua Rapuung confronted Mezhan Kwaad and asked her if she had caused Rapuung's shaming. Kwaad proclaimed that she had and that their were no gods at all, she was then slain by Tahiri Veila. Vua was killed on Yavin IV defending the two young Jedi so they could escape. From the exploits of Vua Rapuung sprung the Jedi Heresy.
Yomin Carr
Yomin Carr was an advance scout for the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy. Carr disguised himself as a human an inflitrated the ExGal Society on the planet Belkadan, a group of scientists searching for life outside of the known galaxy. Carr brought a Vong-engineered beatle that would quickly change the environment of Belkadan. Then after destroying the ExGal's communications equipment, Carr began to slowly kill off the ExGal scientists one at a time. However, Danni Quee was able to leave using the ExGal's ship. Yomin Carr then waited on Belkadan for the invasion to continue. However, he did not anticipate Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade Skywalker traveling there to discover what had happened to the planet. Carr attacked Mara, using all the biological weapons he had to fight her. However, he was unable to defeat Mara in a melee fight, his amphistaff agaisnt her lightsaber, and was stabbed through the heart with the blade.
