Yomin Carr

"I am Yomin Carr, the harbinger of doom. I am the beginning of the end of your people!"

- Yomin Carr

Yomin Carr was a male Yuuzhan Vong member of the Warrior Caste and an advance agent sent by the Praetorite Vong to the galaxy for the Yuuzhan Vong's imminent invasion.

Infiltration
Yomin Carr was a male Yuuzhan Vong of the Warrior caste, and a member of the Praetorite Vong, the advance group sent to prepare for the planned invasion of the galaxy. On the orders of Prefect Da'Gara, he joined the research team at ExGal-4 on Belkadan, using an ooglith masquer to disguise himself as a Human and a tizowyrm to enable him to understand Basic. The station was staffed by several individuals, led by the scientist Danni Quee, and they were hoping to find extragalactic life.

Carr was known by his fellow station workers as a very diligent worker, always arriving early, and staying late. He was also distant from the others, rarely joining them for dinner or games they played to alleviate boredom. One member of the team, a Twi'lek named Tee-ubo Doole, was attracted to the mysterious Human, as Carr appeared to be. Little did the crew know that Carr was plotting to betray all of them, and kill them to prevent word from the Yuuzhan Vong invasion task force spreading. Carr had chosen the ExGal-4 site because he knew the location where the Yuuzhan Vong ships would enter the galaxy, a small hole in the border separating the galaxy from the Intergalactic Void, known as Vector Prime.

In 25 ABY, after Carr had been working at the station a short time, he spotted an object that broke through from outside the galaxy. At last the moment he had waited for was at hand. Carr contacted Executor Nom Anor, another Yuuzhan Vong stirring up unrest in another part of the galaxy, and informed him that the invasion had begun. Under orders from Anor, he then sabotaged the stations communications tower. He also released several dweebits, a beetle-like life form that would drain the atmosphere of oxygen, releasing poisonous chemicals into it instead. As he re-entered the room, he was greeted by Danni Quee, who informed him that they had spotted an extraglactic object. Carr feigned curiousity, as the group debated over the nature of the object. They eventually came to the conclusion that it was a comet. However, some still argued that it was impossible for an object to enter from outside the galaxy, argumemts spurred by Carr, who said that it could be an asteroid reflected off the border. He insisted that they make sure it was extragalactic before contacting the New Republic, so as to avoid possible embarassment in case it was not from outside the galaxy. However, the rest of the team remained ignorant as to Yomin Carr's true goal.



The team decided to send three people in an old Spacecaster ship. Danni Quee would go, and, she asked Carr, if he would like to accompany her, feeling that he deserved it for his diligent work. However, Carr declined, claiming that as he had only worked there for a short time, there were many more worthy than him. His real reason was simply that he had to eliminate the rest of the crew, and he had orders not to come near the Yuuzhan Vong base.

Before the ship took off, Carr went to work on it, on the guise of repairing the pressure pump. However, he was actually sabotaging it, disabling the communications. Carr then went to his room, where he contacted Prefect Da'Gara using a villip, a Yuuzhan Vong communication device. He informed him that a team was heading for Helska IV, where the "asteroid" had crashed. Da'Gara promised to crush them, although when Carr informed him that the woman called Danni Quee was worthy of an honorable death, he agreed to spare her temporarily. Carr also informed Da'Gara that the other workers would be dead within a few days. Belkadan would also be harmed from Carr's beetles, which were quickly converting the atmosphere to toxic gases.

Shortly after ending this covnersation, Garth Breise knocked on Carr's door. The station trasmitter had not been working, and so Breise and Carr had been given the job of fixing it to allow the station to send communications. Carr knew that it was his sabotage causing the tower's electronics to fail. He could also smell the methane/sulfur mix released by the dweebtis, but was aware that it had not yet reached crticial levels, and that no one else could smell it. Breise found several broken cables at the base of the tower, and as there were several dweebits massing around the building, he believed they were the cause of the troubles. The two climbed up the communications tower, watching the SpaceCaster lift off as they reached the top. As soon as it passed out of sight, Carr turned on Breise, forcing him off the tower, to fall a hundred meters to the bottom. Watching him fall, Carr felt gleeful, although he regretted that Breise might land on some of the dweebits, which he considered his pets.

Four station workers set after recieving a call from the Spacecaster, warning them of strange clouds approaching. After Breise's body had been discovered, they had set out to investigate the massive storm, actually toxic clouds of methane and sulfur. The group soon realized it was poisonous and deadly to them, after their jetpacks failed to function. The group members decided to sacrifice their oxygen so Jerem Cadmir could make it back to warn the others, realizing that someone should be able to tell the rest of the team about the toxic clouds. Cadmir ran into Carr on his way back. Initially delighted to see him, his joy soon turned to horror. Carr revealed that he had caused this, and that the planet would be overwhelmed within two days. Cadmir was stunned at Carr's betrayal, but then the warrior revealed himself. Removing his ooglith masquer, he then killed Cadmir. Carr headed back for the station, not bothering to put his disguise back on. One scientist, Lysire Donabelle, encountered him, and was swiftly killed. Carr then proceeded to murder the other members of the team.

Death
"You are worthy. Jedi."

- Yomin Carr's last words

A short time later, the Jedi Masters Mara Jade and Luke Skywalker arrived at the station after receiving a distress call from ExGal-4. Hiding in the shadows, Carr observed the visitors, but jumped into action after seeing the droid R2-D2, who he saw as a perversion of life. Carr chased the astromech until he ran into Jade Skywalker. Carr mocked her, and then attacked, throwing a thud bug at her. Jade dodged it, and shot him with her blaster. However, his vonduun crab armor easily stopped the shot, stunning the woman. Jade then drew her lightsaber. Carr responding by throwing a dozen thud bugs, all of which she blocked. Though he attempted to stop her with adhesive blorash jelly, hoping to stick her feet to the ground and prevent her from moving. Jade was able to cut through it, freeing her feet.

She charged towards Carr, lightsaber ready. The warrior countered with his amphistaff, a Yuuzhan Vong melee weapon. After a brief duel, in which Carr found her to be his equal, she defeated him, stabbing the warrior in the heart.

Personality and traits
Though Carr appeared to be nothing more than a quiet Human devoted to his job on ExGal-4, he was much more. Viewed as mysterious, silent "newbie", Carr in fact was a cunning warrior. He desired to slay all the workers at the station, and had to work to keep his bloodythirsty instincts in check. However, he respected the leader Danni Quee, and so persuaded Da'Gara to grant her an honorable death.

Though Yuuzhan Vong despised technology used by the inhabitants of the galaxy, as it was not organic like theirs, Carr worked with this kind of technology of many occasions. Although he disliked touching it, he knew it was necessary, and so became one of the few Yuuzhan Vong to utilize non-organic technology, and even become proficient in it, able to perform maintenance on spaceships. However, Carr still despised machines, especially droids.

Carr was very devoted to the Slayer god, Yun-Yammka, the Yuuzhan Vong god of war.
