Czulkang Lah

"He's Tsavong Lah's father. An old, fierce, terrifying warrior and teacher of warriors. He's like the Garm Bel Iblis of the Yuuzhan Vong."

- Tycho Celchu

Czulkang Lah was the father of Tsavong Lah, and a former Warmaster of the Yuuzhan Vong. When Shimrra Jamaane became the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong, Czulkang disagreed with Shimrra's claims that the Gods had granted the Galaxy to the Yuuzhan Vong, apparently believing Supreme Overlord Quoreal that it was dangerous to invade. His son took the title and role of Warmaster from him in the months prior to the invasion, and Czulkang Lah had spent the rest of his years teaching young Yuuzhan Vong warriors the art of combat and strategy. Due to his extreme age, he was known to wear a Vonduun crab armor that augmented his strength.

Any young warrior who, when posed a question, gave the former Warmaster a wrong answer earned a scar called "Czulkang Lah's Pit". It was after one of his classes that his son had asked him to lead the attack on Borleias in 27 ABY. Czulkang initially refused, but agreed to if he was allowed to retain a command afterwards. Given the rank of Supreme Commander, Czulkang went with a huge force, including a healthy worldship.

Wedge Antilles surprised the former Warmaster by abandoning the tactics used by the Rebel Alliance or the New Republic. Instead, Antilles applied the Galactic Empire's strategy to fight Czulkang. Unable to anticipate such actions, Czulkang Lah suffered two major defeats during Antilles's Operation Emperor's Hammer and Operation Emperor's Spear. Czulkang met his end when the Lusankya had rammed into the worldship of Domain Hul at the end of the Battle of Borleias. His last communication was with son about his defeat in battle. Tsavong Lah lamented deeply upon witnessing his father's death, feeling the Gods favored and loathed him all at once.
