Warrior caste


 * "Do-ro'ik vong pratte."
 * &mdash;Battle Cry of the Warriors.

The Warrior caste was the military caste of the Yuuzhan Vong. The second largest caste in Yuuzhan Vong society, the warriors were conditioned from birth to be brave, fierce, and merciless in battle against the "Infidels". In honor of Yun-Yammka, the God of War and their patron deity, the Warriors would sacrifice body parts, scar, and tattooe themselves, to show Yun-Yammka their pain was in honor of him. The highest rank among the Warriors was the Warmaster, and the number two member of the Yuuzhan Vong's entire society. Shimrra Jamaane, the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong, was guarded by a special group of Warriors called the Slayers. Another elite group was called the Hunters, who were given missions that normal Warriors could not complete.

Surrender was not an option for the Warrior caste. Unfortunately, this actually worked against them. By the Fall of Coruscant, both Supreme Overlord Shimrra and Admiral Ackbar independently estimated that one third of the Warriors had been killed in two years of fighting. If a Warrior was captured, they would immediately commit suicide. Most of the Warriors killed themselves after the death of Shimrra, though some went to Zonama Sekot.
