"I want many things, and in time I intend to get all of them."

- Nom Anor

Nom Anor was a male Yuuzhan Vong who played a crucial role in the Yuuzhan Vong War and was marked by his ambition, sense of self-preservation, doubt in the Yuuzhan Vong's gods, and skill in many fields. A member of the intendant caste, Anor was one of the leaders among the Yuuzhan Vong in the galaxy prior to the species' invasion. Anor helped prolong the Galactic Civil War, and weakened potential foes to the Yuuzhan Vong. In 25 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong War began as the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, with the Praetorite Vong leading the way. Anor assisted the Praetorite Vong, though the organization was defeated.

The main fleet then entered the galaxy, cutting a bloody swathe towards the Core. Anor helped in many operations, such as plotting with the Priest Harrar to eliminate Jedi, and sabotaging New Republic efforts to restore the planet Duro. Anor dealt frequently with Warmaster Tsavong Lah, a rival of his. A skilled spy, diplomat, and firebrand, Anor stirred up unrest throughout the galaxy, weakening the New Republic. Two years into the war, the Yuuzhan Vong captured the capital of Coruscant. Anor began dealing directly with Supreme Overlord Shimrra, providing intelligence that allowed the Yuuzhan Vong to attack the New Republic at Ebaq 9. However, it was a trap, and the Yuuzhan Vong forces were defeated, causing Shimrra to call for Anor's head.

Anor fled into the underbelly of Coruscant, where he became involved with the Jeedai heresy, a dissident sect of Yuuzhan Vong who cursed Shimrra and saw the Jedi as their saviors. Seeking a way to gain power, the ambitious Anor unified the heretics. Taking the identity of Yu'shaa, a self-proclaimed prophet, he became the leader of a powerful, rapidly-growing movement. However, when given the chance, he turned his back on the heresy to rejoin Shimrra's court in a higher rank. He began to rue the movement he had strengthened, as the heresy had gained a life of its own. In the final days of the war, Anor began to doubt Shimrra, seeing him as insane. The war came to a close in the Second Battle of Coruscant. Taking up the mantle of Yu'shaa once more, Anor attempted to lead the heretics to victory. Ultimately, he was captured by the Jedi, while the Yuuzhan Vong surrendered after the death of Shimrra. Realizing that the future held nothing but uncertainty for him, Anor chose to remain on a disintegrating ship as it exploded over Coruscant.

The rise of Nom Anor
"My plansss are my plansss."

- Nom Anor

Nom Anor was born in the intendant caste, and was groomed to live his life as a politician. He rose through the ranks of the caste, and on the day when he was awarded the rank of Executor among the Yuuzhan Vong, and first advance scout of the Praetorite Vong a group from the intendant caste, Anor gouged out his left eye with a burning stick. After doing so, Anor filled his socket with a plaeryin bol, a small organism of the Executor's own making that could spit poison when Anor willed it to. Despite having obtained the rank of Executor, Anor wished to ashive the rank of High Prefect in his caste.

Nom Anor was also a talented bioengineer. He invented the coomb spore, the gablith masquer, and naotebe wingling, to name a few, disregarding the Yuuzhan Vong religious protocols that restricted the creation of new weapons in the process. Nom Anor had no use for ancient protocols and traditions in general, and only used them to suit his own ends.

Upon entering a new galaxy
"As you know, a band of agitators – controlled by Nom Anor – continues to spread unrest in our system. We have repeatedly requested the Republic’s intervention, only to be ignored."

- Xbrr-Zinngogg to the New Republic Ruling Council

In 6 ABY, Nom Anor was sent on a mission to scout out the galaxy and destabilize any governments that posed a threat to the swift invasion of the galaxy. One of his first missions was to Calocour Heights on Coruscant. In 11 ABY, he met with aspiring Emperor Carnor Jax, who notified his master, Lumiya, of the strange agent.

Anor turned his sights on the Imperial Ruling Council of the Imperial Remnant in 11 ABY, and met with Xandel Carivus, a member of the council, whom he had follow a set of instructions. On the planet of Ord Cantrell, Anor assassinated the current Head of the Council Burr Nolyds with an explosive device, which was decorated with the designation of former Emperor's Royal Guard Kir Kanos, planted in the Human's chambers. Like Anor planed, Carivus was placed as the head of the council, and the Yuuzhan Vong met briefly with Carivus after the event after slipping through the high security around the man's rooms. Anor had Carivus, who was pleased at the turn of events, to continue to follow the Yuuzhan Vong's insturctions, before departing. Anor then masterminded a series of assassinations against the Imperial Ruling Council that made it seem like Kanos was continuing his vendetta against them.

However, Carivus's power began to be questioned by fellow member Feena D'Asta, and Carivus was furious that Anor's plan had not taken this into account when they next met. Anor refused to reveal his plans to the other, and instead sent him off with the knowledge that there would be another assassination. Anor was true to his word, and General Immodet was found dead. In respone to this, Carivus used the excuse to bring in his personal guards. However, as Immodet was one of Carivus's supporters, the man was confused when he met Anor again, who once again did not reveal any more of his plans to the Imperial. Over the next while, Carivus took matters into his own plans, ignoring Anor's leadership, as he cemented his leadership of the Imperial Ruling Council with might. Anor confronted the man once about his straying from the path Anor had created, but did not interfere as Carivus made enemies with the D'Asta family and drew the attention of Kanos himself.

Before Carivus was killed by Kanos during an attack on Ord Cantrell by Ex-Imperial Baron Ragez D'Asta's forces, Anor told the self-proclaimed Emperor Carivus that his and his leader's plans no longer included the Imperial. Anor also had dealings of an unknown nature with Grappa the Hutt, and several other shadowy groups and organizations in order to further his goals.

By around 14 ABY, Anor was stirring up unrest on the planet of Rhommamool, in the Osarian system, with the help of a group of agitators known as the Red Knights of Life. Although representatives from Rhommamool pleaded with the New Republic for help, they were turned down, as in their eyes Anor had committed no crimes. Anor later paid a group of individuals to raid a Class-3 toxic weapons dump on the world of Nyara and obtain a chunk of zinethium material. On the planet of Adumar, Anor riled up a crowd of people by claiming that the New Republic was not better than the Galactic Empire. While on Adumar, Anor met up with an individual who gave him the zinethium. The zinethium, which had explosive capabilities, found its way to the Restored Empire, an organization plotting the destruction of the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant. They used it to attempt to blow up the Imperial Palace on the New Republic controlled capital of Coruscant. However, due to the intervention of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the plan failed.

Either before or after his involvement with the Interim Council, he was involved with foiling the plans of the Moffs (presumably either the Central Committee of Grand Moffs or the Council of Moffs). Nom Anor had considered the Galactic Empire to be a greater military threat than the New Republic, and his manipulations helped lead to its downfall, thus making him the main individual responsible for the destruction of the Interim Council.

Pre-invasion
"I seek allies in this filthy place."

- Nom Anor

Anor seeded several different worlds with a range of illnesses carried by spores that the Yuuzhan Vong agent had created himself, and, thirteen years after Carivus' death, Nom Anor placed his coomb spores in the breath masks of one hundred New Republic diplomats on the world of Monor II, including Mara Jade Skywalker, at the event that marked the ascension of the priest-prince Agapos the Tenth to the throne. All of them became infected, though the species of the individual affected how long it took the coomb spores to take effect, and all except Mara Jade Skywalker died from the disease. She was able to hold the disease back using the Force. During his time in the galaxy, Anor learned to play the game dejarik, and was frequently forced to play a holographic version of it even though he did not like the game itself.

That same year he visited Bar Jaraniz on Nar Shaddaa to meet the Mandalorian Goran Beviin whom the Executor, under the name of Udelen, hired as an assassin, inspiring civil war upon the industrial planet of Ter Abbes. During the months preceding the galactic invasion, Nom Anor nursed a regular business relationship with the Mandalorian Protectors often meeting with their leader, Boba Fett. Intrigued by the Mandalorians' culture of war, Nom Anor called Fett and his people to witness the arrival of a Yuuzhan Vong flotilla in an 'up-front' attempt at further recruiting them during the course of the forthcoming war. However Fett did not believe a word Nom Anor spoke.

Anor conspired with the Praetorite Vong so that they could be the ones to lead the initial attack on the galaxy, not the members of the warrior caste. He also helped them obtain an imperfect war-coordinating telepathic yammosk for use in battle. As years went by, Anor continued to destabilize the New Republic in anyway he could, and frequently stirred up resentment against the Jedi Knights. At one point in time, Anor met Jedi Knight Mara Jade Skywalker, who later remarked that the disguised Yuuzhan Vong was one of the strangest beings she ever met. The Executor also recruited many agents from the native populations of the galaxy to further his goals.

However, despite the years that Anor spent among the future enemies of his species, he never discovered that the birth of twins for Humans was a relatively common occurrence, and that some of the larger capital ships used in the galaxy would sometimes preform an orbital bombardment against enemy troops.

Rhommamool
Anor continued to stir up trouble on Rhommamool, and its sister planet Osarian, and he used his followers, the Red Knights, and his rhetoric to change a simple mining rights dispute into a struggle against the oppression of Osarian for the people of Rhommamool. Because of this, the New Republic sent a Mon Calamari capital ship Mediator to the Osarian system by 25 ABY in order to prevent the tension between the two planets from breaking out into a full war. Around that time, the two planets were nearing the point in their orbits where they would be the closest to each other for many years, enabling both sides to potentially send rockets at each other.

By that time, Anor had gotten his Red Knights of Life to frequently purge cities such as Redhaven of all mechanical things, such as landspeeders and droids. The public square of Redhaven had also been turned into the Square of Hopeful Redemption, where a huge pit was filled with the droids caught by the Red Knights. In 25 ABY, Anor, wearing an ooglith masquer to disguise his true form, attended a huge gathering at the Square of Hopeful Redemption. There, as he stood on a platform above the gathered, the ten thousand gathered Rhommamoolians stoned the droids in the pit for the entire afternoon after Anor gave the signal. Soon after the event, Anor was contacted by communicating villip by Yomin Carr, who was a Yuuzhan Vong agent disguised as a member of the team that serviced the ExGal-4 outpost on the planet of Belkadan. Carr informed the other Yuuzhan Vong that the Praetorite Vong had entered the galaxy as the spearhead of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

Anor's aide, Shok Tinoktin, reported to the Executor the night of the revelereis at the Square of Hopeful Redemption that the custom shuttle Jade Sabre entered the orbit of Rhommamool; aboard it was Jedi Knight Jade Skywalker, former politician Leia Organa Solo and her daughter Jaina, Organa Solo's Noghri bodyguard Bolpuhr, and the protocol droid C-3PO. The Jade Sabre was in the Osarian system so the occupants could meet with Anor, an event arranged between the Executor and New Republic Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya, and try to reach an agreement that benefited both planets. Before sending Tinoktin off to escort the group from the Jade Sabre, Anor made sure that his aide had the shlecho newt with him, and instructed Tinoktin to bring the lizard near the mouth of Jade Sabre during the meeting. The newt would then be able to tell if the Jedi, one of the only individuals infected with the comb spores who were still alive, was still in the clutches of the disease. As Tinoktin brought the group into Anor's lair, the Executor watched from a security holocam.

To avoid meeting the group in his private quarters, Anor intercepted them in a hallway leading to his quarters. In the hallway, Anor lectured the group about failings of the New Republic and the Jedi Order after refusing to let them discuss the Rhommamoolian-Osarian problem in a more comfortable location. Anor's only suggestion to stop the looming war between the two planets was have the Mediator destroy the weapons systems of the Osarians. This possibility was quickly ruled out Organa Solo and Jade Skywalker, and they left, disgusted at Anor's unwillingness to do anything to stop the war. C-3PO stayed behind briefly to inquire as to how the droid had offended the Executor, but Anor sent him quickly after his masters when the Executor claimed that the droid's existence offended him.

After the short meeting, Tamaktis Breetha, the former mayor of Redhaven, questioned why Anor had refused New Republic assistance, as Rhommamool would need it to stop the war. Anor reassured him that the Rhommamoolians were fighting for a cause grater than just their homeworld's freedom, as they were figting for the freedom of every citizen of the New Republic; in truth, the Executor did not care about the fate of the two worlds, and was merely trying to destabilize the New Republic by creating another war. Tinoktin reported after the mayor left that the newt had confirmed that Jade Skywalker was still struggling with the comb spores in her system.

Anor had several high ranking Rhommamoolian officials secretly murdered, which gave Breethan no support in his opposition of an extra-planetary missile strike that the Executor had been planning for weeks. Before the launch, Anor contacted Commander Ackdool of the Mediator, and arranged a meeting onboard the vessel between the commander, Anor, and a diplomatic party from Osarian. This meeting was supposed to arrange for an end to the conflict, now that the New Republic representatives were out of Anor's hair. When the missiles were fired at Osarian, they were launched from places where the liftoff of the rockets would be difficult to detect. Once the rockets reached the edge of Rhommamool's atmosphere, the rockets turned off their fuel, and drifted, unnoticeable by the Mediator, to the edge of Osarian's atmosphere, where they re-engaged their fuel, and streaked for Osa-Prime, the capital city of the planet.

Three hours after the launch of the rockets, when the missiles reached the atmosphere of Osarian, Ackdool contacted Anor, furious that he had attacked the other planet. Before cutting the Mon Calamari off and ending the conversation, the disguised Executor took reasonability for the attacks, claiming that it was all justified due to the dead Rhommamoolian officials that had been found dead, even though Anor was the one who secretly had them killed. Anor and his aide then watched an Osarian broadcast via a video screen, that showed the missiles that had evaded the Osaran rockets' and starfighters' attempts to destroy them detonate in Osa-Prime. The missile strike authorized by Anor started a war between the two worlds, with both sides shooting missiles at each other while starfighters from the Mediator attempted to shoot down as many missiles as they could. Some of the rockets and missiles that were launched were nuclear.

Due to the escalating war between the two sides, Ackdool was quite happy to go through with the meeting with Anor, and thus, the Executor and his aide left Rhommamool on a two-stage rocket. Before the rocket broke orbit, Anor made sure that his decoy, a decapitated body on whose neck rested one of Anor's villips, was ready, and proceeded to enter the second-stage booster. The booster contained a concealed A-wing starfighter with an enlarged cockpit, in which Anor and Tinoktin placed themselves. When the rocket left the orbit of Rhommamool, the second-stage booster was detached, taking with it the Yuuzhan Vong and his aide. Tinoktin remotely opened the comm channel on the capsule that was headed for the Mediator, and Anor greeted Ackdool, through the use of the twin of the villip he placed on the body. That same villip used its abilities to resemble Anor's face, making it seem that Ackdool was actually talking to the Rhommamoolian leader, not a villip on a decapitated body.

However, Osarian Z-95 Headhunters rose attempted to intercept the capsule and prevent it from reaching the Mediator, indicating that the Osarians were not in a mood to talk. Just then, Anor had Tinoktin break the visual feed from the capsule to the warcruiser break up, and in covering up the fact that it was intentional, Anor claimed that it had been a malfunction on the capsule. To stop the Headhunters from destroying the capsule, Ackdool was forced to send starfighters of his own out, and they succeeded in this. One of the proton torpedos fired at the capsule however detonated near it, due to intervening X-wing starfighter fire, and the explosion sent the capsule into an uncontrolled spin. From the floating booster, and still in contact with Ackdool through the villip, Anor watched as the Mediator caught the capsule with a tractor beam, and brought it towards its hanger bay.

Though the booster and the A-wing within it began to bounce across the atmosphere of Rhommamool, Tinoktin managed to keep a line of sight to the Mediator. When the capsule entered the docking bay of the war cruiser, nuclear fission explosives crammed inside it detonated, and the resulting explosion blew a massive section of the Mediator to bits, and temporarily lifted the rear of the cruiser by ninety degrees. After the booster drifted far enough away, the A-wing that Anor and his adie resided in disengaged itself from the booster, and streaked away unnoticed. In this way Anor faked his death over Rhommamool. From the Osarian system, Anor traveled by lightspeed to the next destination from where he could stir up more trouble, and distract the New Republic from the threat of the Praetorite Vong in the Outer Rim.

Advising Da'Gara
When Tinoktin was asleep, Anor used one of his villips to contact Prefect Da'Gara, the leader of the Praetorite Vong, from the A-wing. The Prefect informed Anor that Carr had successfully terraformed Belkadan for their purposes, and was ready to use ExGal-4's visual scopes to the advantage of the Yuuzhan Vong. Da'Gara and Anor agreed that the biggest current threat to the discovery of the Praetorite Vong, who were holed up on a base on the Outer Rim ice planet of Helska IV, would be the world of Sernpidal and its inhabitants. Because of this, Anor and the Prefect debated ways to destroy that threat, and they eventually decided to use a tactic known as Yo'gand's Core, where a gravity manipulating dovin basal was used to crash a planet's moon into itself.

Da'Gara later communicated with the Executor once again via villip, and the Praetorite Vong leader told Anor that their forces had encountered a starfighter squadron allied with the New Republic. Although they had eradicated the majority of the fighters after the coralskippers found out how to block the enemy shields with their dovin basals, and also captured a Jedi by the name of Miko Reglia, two of enemy fights had managed to escape the system by hyperspace. Although Da'gara insisted that neither of the starfighter pilots had managed to escape alive, as ravenous grutchin creatures had latched onto both craft, Anor was skeptical. He was unsure whether or not the Praetorite Vong would be discovered sooner than they wished, due either to a surviving pilot relating the tale, or some of the grutchins releases after those two craft being sighted. Before consoling Da'Gara to fortify his position and prepare for any unexpected New Republic activity, the Executor agreed with the Prefect that Reglia should be broken via mental torture.

After the Praetorite Vong's position was secured enough, Da'Gara contacted Anor once more. The Prefect explained that they were launching their preliminary assault, as the yammosk that controlled their troops had dispatched four battle groups to Sernpidal. There, the groups would engage the refuges who were fleeing the destruction of their homeworld caused after a dovin basal brought the moon Dobido crashing into the planet. However, the Praetorite Vong force was defeated at Helska IV after the invaders had fully engaged the people of the galaxy and made themselves known. Anor found out about the fall of the Praetorite Vong through rumors, and his inability to contact either Da'Gara or Carr, who had both died. Despite the setback, the Executor continued to arouse strife and conflict near to the Core Worlds, in order to keep more attention away from the Outer Rim, where more Yuuzhan Vong forced would soon appear.

After the Praetorite Vong
Following the failure of the Praetorite Vong, who Anor had aided in a bid for power, a warrior faction underneath Commander Shedao Shai struck the Outer Rim. Attacking in places where the Praetorite Vong had failed in order to redeem the honor of the race, Shai led the warriors on a invasion path that was situated at the border of Imperial Remnant and New Republic space. This path had been advised earlier by Anor, because the relations between the two would prevent them from aiding each other. Anor was slightly wrong is this regard, as an Imperial and New Republic joint-effort at the world of Ithor resulted in the death of Shai, though the Imperial Remnant would regress to its insular nature for a long time after the incident.

The bo'tous plan
In an effort to redeem himself in the eyes of his superiors, Anor became involved with a plot formed by the deception sect priest Harrar. In the Obroa system after the Yuuzhan Vong seized the library world of Obroa-skai, Anor was present on Harrar's priestship. Anor waited at the bottom of a set of stairs in a command room while Harrar, the Priestess Elan and her pet, the feathered Vergere, witnessed the sacrifice of captives from Obroa-skai via a villip-choir field. When it was done, Harrar and Anor briefed Elan on the plan, which would involve fatally infecting as many Jedi as they could, in order to weaken the moral of the New Republic. Shortly after the sacrifice, twenty living captives from Obroa-skai were brought into the command room and placed inside an inhibition field so that they could not escape. While Anor and the others waited and observed from atop the command platform, an assassin set about demonstrating the capabilities of the Bo'tous spore, which would be used against the Jedi.

The assassin entered the inhibition field, and once inside, emptied his lungs in a long breath. The bo'tous insects contained in the breath grew rapidly in the abundant oxygen, and, because they carried the deadly spores of the bo'tous disease, killed all of the captives in the containment field. The assassin at first tried to escape by holding his breath, but realizing he could not get out, took a breath, which brought the diseases into his body and quickly killed him. Harrar had one of his acolytes obtain on of the bo'tous bugs that were skill in the area surrounded by the inhibition field, and used the specimen to show Elan. Anor explained that the effects of the toxin were brief, and the deliverer of the bo'tous had to be close to her targets. Harrar also told Elan that a skill host of the toxin could hold up to four batches of the disease in his or her lungs, and deploy them all, given that the host did not succumb to the toxin.

The plan was for Elan to be captured by the New Republic, and then for her to ask for political asylum from her race. To gain their trust, she would then tell them some important strategic information, before claiming to know about the coomb spores that had infected Jade Skywalker. Elan would insist that she would only give the information to Jedi, and when she was meeting with a group of them, would use the bo'tous spores to kill them. At the end of the briefing, Elan took the bo'tous specimen, and clenched it in her palm so that it would migrate to her lungs and begin to develop. After Elan and Vergere had left, Anor briefly discussed with the preist the plan, and Elan's role, which would almost certainly bring about her death. As a part of the plan, Elan and her pet were allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy at the world of Exodo II after the New Republic light cruiser Soothfast destroyed the Yuuzhan Vong vessel Elan was being held on; the priestess and her pet were then placed into protective custody after Elan told her captors that she was a defector.

Following Elan's capture, Commander Tla confronted Harrar and Anor, as he was angered that a Yuuzhan Vong ships had had to be destroyed for the initial stage of the plot to succeed. The pair countered that it had been necessary to make the capture of Elan look credible, and also revealed to the commander that, due to a concealed villip the priestess had managed to keep with her, they knew where Elan was being held: the planet of Wayland. In an effort to make it seem as if the Yuuzhan Vong did not want Elan in the hands of the enemy, where she could give them important information, Anor led a small raid on Wayland, targeting Elan's position in particular. After a single assassin attacked the safehouse the priestess was being held in, Anor sent around a half a dozen coralskippers to conduct strafing runs on the city of New Nystao, the location of the safehouse. Located in a gunship out of the action on the edge of the Wayland system, Anor instructed his fighters to only try hard enough to convince the New Republic that the invaders wanted the priestess dead and buried. Anor's mission succeeded in this aspect, as the unsuccessful attack prompted the New Republic to put more effort into keeping Elan safe.

Around that time, Anor had several meetings, while disguised as a intercessor, with the Hutt Borga, who represented the interests of the Hutts in the are of the galaxy known as Hutt Space. Due to his guise as the intercessor between the Yuuzhan Vong and the Hutts, Anor discovered that the species was more interested in reaching an agreement with the invaders than waging war on them. Through the negotiations with Borga, the Executor also managed to have one of the Hutt's many worlds put at the disposal of the Yuuzhan Vong. After the raid on Wayland, Anor was present on Harrar's ship, once again over Obroa-skai. There, along with Harrar, Tla, and the tactician Raff, Anor met with Commander Malik Carr, who had recently arrived in the Wayland system with a contingent of battleships.

As the others reported various details about the campaign against the New Republic to Carr, Anor informed him of the state of the Hutts, and how he suggested that a detour should be made into Hutt Space; Anor also related that he had tasked several of his agents with sowing bits of disinformation prior to the Yuuzhan Vong's arrival there. During that meeting, a herald approached the group carrying a villip, and, after having one of his personal villips brought forth, used that one receive a message from one of his underlings. That agent informed the disbelieving Executor that the Yuuzhan Vong-allied group of the Peace Brigade had taken it upon themselves to free Elan, and bring the priestess back to their allies. They had managed to obtain the whereabouts of Elan, something Anor had not been able to do, and were moving against the passenger liner Queen of Empire, which was headed for the Bilbringi system. Anor's underling also informed the Executor that the Peace Brigade elements involved in the planned attack had a dovin basal.

Anxious to prevent the Peace Brigade from messing with their plans, Anor appropriated the quickest of Carr's frigates, which was Carr's personal ship, in order to stop them meddling. Arriving where the Queen of Empire had been pulled out of hyperspace by the capabilities of the Peace Brigade's dovin basal, Anor was in time to witness the group in the act of boarding the liner with a corvette. From Carr's personal ship, the Executor kept an eye on the corvette, as well as the three Martial-class shuttles that had launched from the corvette before docking on the Queen of Empire. Anor also managed to neutralize the Peace Brigade's dovin basal, and used his own dovin basal to prevent the corvette from leaving its docking position with the liner even if it tried; this was done to prevent the Peace Brigadiers from escaping with Elan, and to give more time for the New Republic's forces to recapture her.

The Executor kept in contact with Harrar and Carr, and informed them of the situation. The Commander ordered Anor to use his dovin basal as a remote, meaning it would be detached from the ship and left in space to complete its objectives. Just then, the Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser Thurse from the New Republic arrived at the scene, in an attempt to rescue the liner and drive off the Yuuzhan Vong present there. Anor saw a way to make it appear that the Yuuzhan Vong had unsuccessfully tried to obtain Elan, and a way to get the Peace Brigade caught, which would put the deserting priestess back into the New Republic's hands. The Executor had his dovin basal launched as a remote, and the frigate's complement of coralskippers engaged the enemy, in a withdrawal from the Queen of Empire location that the agent sought to disguise as a defeat.

The Peace Brigade corvette made multiple calls to the Yuuzhan Vong to help aid then, but Anor and his crew refused to aid them. Still in contact Harrar and the others, Anor had his frigate commit a microjump when ever a group of enemy starfighters neared it in order to distance itself from their attacks. Although informed that his actions could be considered cowardly by Harrar, Anor kept it up, as he was doing what was necessary for the good of the plan. During the continued battle around the Queen of Empire, the modified New Republic freighter Millennium Falcon took it upon themselves to target the remote, and soon destroyed it, allowing the smaller of the Peace Brigade ships to un-dock from the liner. At Anor's orders, the pilots of the coral skippers behaved as if in a sudden disarray after the dovin basal was destroyed.

Free to leave the liner, the three Peace Brigade shuttles scrambled away from it, with two bearing towards one of the planets in the Bilbringi system, and the last heading for Anor's frigate. Knowing that they Peace Brigade had succeeded in apprehending Elan and where bringing her to them aboard that same shuttle, Harrar ordered Anor to hold the shuttle at bay. Using one of the onboard dovin basals, the frigate halted the shuttle in its tracks, and the Millennium Falcon soon linked up with the stricken shuttle in an attempt to regain possession of Elan; by then, the Peace Brigade corvette had broken away from the Queen of Empire, and was trying to escape. Anor let the freighter have a few moments docked with the shuttle, so that they could get Elan, before he decided to go after them, to convince the New Repbulic that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted the priestess back.

Using a microjump to bring the frigate practically on top of the Millennium Falcon, Anor had his vessel spew missiles at the freighter, though the majority missed on purpose. However, the crew of the Falcon soon caught on that the Yuuzhan Vong wanted them to keep Elan, so guessing that they would not try to shoot a freighter with Elan aboard to pieces, started to fly directly towards Anor's frigate. Flying as if intending to bring Elan back to the members of her race, the Millennium Falcon turned around before it got close to Anor's frigate, and proceeded to launch a single escape pod. The Executor was unable to obtain it however, and with the New Republic Freighter out from between the two cruisers, the Thurse opened fire upon the other vessel with all of its guns. Taking damage to his frigate, Anor was forced to withdraw from the system with no knowledge as to what had transpired on the freighter, and whether or not Elan and Vergere were alive nor not.

Back at Obroa-skai in Harrar's priest ship, Anor was present with the priest, Tla, Raff, and Carr as they reported the failure of their plan to high priest Jakan, Supreme Commander Nas Choka, and Prefect Drathul via villip. The group aboard the priestship explained that they did not know for certain whether or not Elan and Vergere were dead, but that they suspected that the pod launched from the freighter may have contained one or both of their operatives, in the case that the crew of the Millennium Falcon were attempting to send the priest and her pet back to the Yuuzhan Vong. Anor and the others had to answer for the failure of the mission, as well as the amount of capital that had been expended in the attempt. After being informed that the next stage of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion would involve Hutt Space, punishments and new assignments were handed out.

Harrar and Tla were recalled to the Outer Rim, while Carr was assigned to head the invasion into the Hutt territories. However, as Drathul wanted to speak with Anor alone, all of the others left the command center before the Prefect decided Anor's fate. He asked the Executor to explain what actually occurred, and Anor blamed Harrar's and Elan's inability to improvise on the outcome that occurred. Though Drathul did inform him that Anor was treading on thin ice in the eyes of Warmaster Tsavong Lah, the Prefect did not punish him. Before ending the conversation, Anor informed Drathul that a certain individual from the New Republic had reached out to them through the Executor's agents from Coruscant, and could prove to be a potential ally.

Involved with the Hutts
Working on the invasion of Hutt space, Anor accompanied Carr to the planet of Nal Hutta, where they were to meet Borga. Disguised via an ooglith masquer so as to appear as the Human intercessor Pedric Cuf, Anor and the Commander lingered for a long while in the waiting room of Borga's palace before they were allowed to have the audience with the Hutt. The wait, although it was a tradition, vexed both of the Yuuzhan Vong, and Carr was the more unhappy of the two. After they were informed by the Rodian majordomo Leenik that they were permitted to use Borga, Anor and the commander entered Borga's court alongside ten honor guards and ten attendants. Upon entering the court, the Executor, in the guise of Cuf, had some of the attendnets bring forth boxes that could tributes for the Hutt, and opened one of them himself. The dovin basal within prevented the antigravity couch Borga was lounging on from operating, sending both the Hutt and the couch onto the ground. Although Anor apologized for the mishap, as the dovin basal was really a gift, he succeeded in revenging themselves upon the Hutt for the long wait to see her.

After bestowing more gifts upon the Hutt, the group got down to business. It was decided after some discussion that the Yuuzhan Vong would be allowed to use certain worlds for gathering resources, while in turn the invaders would steer clear of important Hutt worlds such as Rodia, Ryloth, and Tatooine. However, the specific details of the deal were not to be settled until Borga met Choka at a later date. The Hutts would also help the Yuuzhan Vong transport their slaves in return no interference into the Hutts' business in spice trafficking. At the end of the meeting Borga asked, as Anor had predicted to Carr earlier, that the Hutts be informed of any activities that might affect spice trade on any worlds; this information would allow the Hutts to secretly sell the information on impending attacks to the New Republic for a price. However, as Anor knew that the Hutts were notorious for double dealings, the offer was accepted, so the Yuuzhan Vong could use the Hutts to distribute false data to the New Republic.

Anor later was present on the Yuuzhan Vong warship Yammka when Choka was welcomed aboard via a celebratory parade. Anor waited with Carr and his chief subalterns, and well as a group of priests, on a dais that was opposite the landing bay Choka had arrived in, and to which the Supreme Commander was proceeding. After Choka had reached the dais, he escalated four of the subalterns there&mdash;Doshao, Sata'ak, Harmae, and Tugorn&mdash; for their various deeds in the invasion. The subalterns were given command cloaks, and, following the short ceremony, Choka called forth Anor before he got to the business at had, which was discussing the invasion. The Supreme Commander surprised the Executor by saying that he favoured the demotion of the latter, due to Anor's alliance with the Praetorite Vong, and his failure in the bo'tous plot that had most likely resulted in Elan's death. Anor countered most of Choka's grievances with him with excuses, and informed his superior of the plot by him and Carr to strike a crippling blow to the New Republic through the use of the Hutts. Before allowing them to fill him in on the details, Choka question how far the Executor's ambition would take him.

In his guise as Pedric Cuf, Anor taught some rudimentary lessons of the Yuuzhan Vong language to Borga during the while that he worked as the intercessor between the Hutts and his race. The Executor also accompanied Choka, along with Carr, to the Supreme Commander's first meeting with the Hutt. Still disguised as the intercessor, Anor observed as Choka dismissed the Hutt's offer of helping with the transport of slaves, and as he proceeded to show Borga that the Yuuzhan Vong were the ones in control. Anor also watched the standoff that ensued between the two sides' guards after Choka insulted Borga for speaking out of line, though the Hutt backed down.

Through the use of his plan, which involved the Hutts passing on to the New Republic combat information sent to them from the Yuuzhan Vong, the Executor managed to mislead the other government. By telling the Hutts to stop their spice movements in the Tynnani system, so they did not get caught in any combat engagements, and then attacking the world, Anor managed to make it seem as if the information the Hutts was giving to the New Republic was good intelligence. The Yuuzhan Vong also told the Hutts to stop spice trafficking in the areas surrounding the worlds of Bothawui and Corellia, making it seem as if those two worlds were prime targets to the New Republic. When the Hutts were informed that they could once again go in to the spice business near Bothawui, the New Republic decided that the enemy's target was Corellia, and arrayed its fleets in a position that left the world practically unguarded, with battleships positioned a short distance from the system. This was in the hopes that the New Republic would be able to spring a trap upon the Yuuzhan Vong.

In making the New Republic think that Corellia was the target, Anor managed to disguise the real objective of the Yuuzhan Vong: the New Republic shipyards of the Colonies' world of Fondor. At a time where Anor's plan was coming to a close, the Executor was present on Choka's battleship while it was in Hutt Space. There, he, Carr, and Choka learned that the Crèche, the Yuuzhan Vong vessel that was carrying the yammosk for the assault on Fondor, had been attacked by enemy starfighters, and, in trouble, had fled to the targeted world of Fondor. Choka decided to launch the attack early, as the Crèche was unprotected at Fondor, and Anor accompanied the supreme commander as they headed for battle in the Fondor system. At Fondor, the Yuuzhan Vong battleships mauled the enemy contingent there and destroyed much of the shipyards. New Republic reinforcements soon arrived, mostly in composed of elements of the Hapes Consortium's fleet, though the battle that might of occurred was cut short by a blast from Centerpoint Station, an ancient artificial construct in near Corellia.

The beam of energy from Centerpoint destroyed half of the Yuuzhan Vong armada at Fondor, but also took out three quarters of the Hapan ships. Only moments later, Anor and the others on Choka' ship, still shocked at the destruction, were contacted by Chine-Kal, the commander of the Crèche. Before dying, Chine-Kal informed them that New Republic personnel had boarded his ship after the Hutts had told them the location of the vessel, and had freed captives before killing the yammosk with the help of the Hutt Randa, who had been aboard the Crèche at the time. Seeing a score to settle with the Hutts, and having fulfilled their objective at Fondor, Choka had the fleet depart the system.

Duro
Anor was disgraced because of the plans of his that never fully fulfilled their purpose, such as the debacle involving Elan. Because of this, the Executor was sent to undercover to the heavily polluted New Republic world of Duro by Warmaster Lah. There, he disguised his self as Duros researcher Dassid Cree'Ar, seemingly working with other SELCORE scientists to make the uninhabitable surface of Duro a haven for refugees from the war. However, his real task while stationed on Duro was to help the Yuuzhan Vong claim the planet for their own. Anor contact's on Coruscant, Senator Viqi Shesh, the one who had reached out to them earlier, agreed to ship vessels full of refugees to Duro to give the Yuuzhan Vong more captives when they took the world; as Pedric Cuff, Anor had maintained communications with Shesh. In 26 ABY, Anor contact Lah via villip aboard the warmaster's battleship Sunulok to report that more refugees had come to Duro. Lah also commanded him to watch for potential worthy sacrifices for when the Yuuzhan Vong arrived at Duro.

Anor worked in the Gateway dome, which was located on the surface of the planet. Gateway served as the research complex, and was overseen by Organa Solo, who had Force powers. While stationed on Duro, Anor's agents reported to him that Jedi Knights Jaina and Jacen Solo were present on Duro as well, in Gateway's companion dome Settlement 32, bringing the total number of known Jedi on Duros up to three for the Yuuzhan Vong. The same day that the Executor became aware of their presence, Anor informed Lah by villip of the Jedi's arrival. He also told the warmaster of his plan to test out a new creation of his that was designed to take apart the domes present on Duro on Settlement 32. After being convinced that Settlement 32 was the right target, Lah had Anor avoid the presence of any Jedi, escpeically Organa Solo, as the Force users had a knack for seeing through disguises, such as the gablith masque Anor was using to appear like a Duros.

Due to his inability to be near Organa Solo, Anor never attended the meetings that took place between the researchers. On more than one occasion, the disguised Executor excused himself from his attendance of the meeting via a commlink. The absence of Cree'Ar from their meetings infuriated many of the other researchers. However, the Yuuzhan Vong agent did contribute to the reclamation effort on Duros. The Executor fixed ever single one of the problems that the other researchers and scientists sent to him, and the others believed that it was due to his time spent on these was why Cree'Ar had not contributed in his own assigned area. The miracles that delighted the other researchers in Gateway were due to the small organisms that helped Anor create a lair for himself underneath the artificial dome by carving a side tunnel of a main shaft out of solid rock. Anor disposed of organisms when they had died in the toxic swamps surrounding Gateway, and the decomposition of them released the bacteria in their guts, which started the process of Duro's terraforming.

As a precaution, Anor widened cracks in the ceiling near his lair via the use of immature naotebe winglings, which were designed by Anor to dissolve and eat building substances. He then filled those cracks with other organisms, which would inflate like a wedge at his command and thus bring spans of tunnel ceiling down if necessary. In time, Anor had immature naotebe winglings insterted into Settlment 32, where they grew up as they consumed the synthplas that the dome was made up of. Anor's objective was to breach holes in the dome via his creatures' nibbling, and expose the occupenents of Settlement 32 to the toxic atmosphere of Duro. When the winglings matured, they succeeded in breaching the dome, though Jaina and Jacen managed to get everyone onto a landcrawler and the group escaped to Gateway.

During his time disguised as Cree'Ar, Anor regularly sent words of wisdom that preached of independence for the Duros via a progress report of the scientific doings on the surface to at least on of the space cities that orbited the planet. His words were spread by individuals such as Ducilla Brarun on the space city of Bburru Station. However, despite Anor's precautions of not meeting with Organa Solo, the Executor's real identity was eventually discovered. Jade Skywalker, who had arrived on Duro along with her husband to investigate the disappearance of a Jedi apprentice by the name of Thrynni Vae, found an old Rhommamoolian code in the regular report that was sent from the scientists of the surface and started to track it to its source after discovering Anor's words of wisdom contained within. Accompanied by Jaina, Jade Skywalker eventually discovered the whereabouts to Cree'Ar's lair after harassing his aides, and the two Jedi found the disguised agent there.

The two Jedi confronted Cree'Ar there, but neither at first suspected that he was not who he said he was. However, while Jade Skywalker, disguised as a Kuati baroness with Jaina as her servant, flattered Cree'Ar about his work on Duros, Jaina sensed that the researcher was not present in the Force. Knowing that no presence in the Force could indicate a Yuuzhan Vong, the young Jedi used the force to touch the release point of Anor's masquer, and the creature slipped of the agent's body, revealing him as Anor. The agent however, held his ground, and revealed to Jade Skwalyer that he had been the one to poison her with the coomb spores. The Executor also threatened to infect the pair with the coomb spores contained within a beaker if they moved, but when Jade Skywalker feinted at him with her lightsaber, he instead fled via a back entrance to the lair.

However, instead of following Anor through that entrance, the pair of Jedi went back the way they came in an attempt the head of the agent, as they believed that a trap had been set in Anor's wake. Consequently, Jaina and Jade Skywalker fell afoul of the ceiling trap the Executor had place earlier, after the pair were buried beneath tons of ceiling debris, Anor believed them dead. Shortly afterwards, the Executor reported to Lah, who was aboard the Sunulok. The agent informed the warmaster that he had successfully taken down Settlement 32, and that agents of his aboard Bburru had detained Jacen, who the Yuuzhan Vong had marked as a coward as he had seemingly deserted the Jedi cause in the war. Anor also informed Lah that he had killed Jaina and Jade Skwalker, though the warmaster was a bit displeased at this due to the fact that his priests had finally decided that Jedi were worth sacrificing to the gods. Lah also raised doubts on the death of the pair of Jedi, though Anor still strongly believed that they had met their demises, and requested that Jacen by sedated so he could be broken and studied. In preparation for the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong, Anor had arranged for riots to happen on Bburru City just before the event, and for the planetary shields to be sabotaged. Anor related this to Lah, in addition to the fact that he had promised that the Duros' floating cities would remain untouched if they laid down their weapons, which was a lie on Anor's part. However, despite Anor's belief that Jaina and Jade Skywalker had died in the trap, they survived, and the secret of Cree'Ar's true identity was revealed to a select few.

Anor lived up to his promises to Lah, and the shields of Bburru, Orr-Om, and another floating city were sabotaged prior to the Yuuzhan Vong arrival, leaving them vulnerable to attack. At around the time that Lah's forces arrived at Duro, Anor revealed his true self to his fellow researchers, who had not been informed of the Cree'Ar's deception. Anor told the scientists that the ones who were found by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion force still working on taking the toxins out of the soil would be specially awarded. However, even though the Executor offered full amnesty, two of the researchers refused to work any further. Additionally, Anor offered them positions helping the Yuuzhan Vong with their research, though all declined.

While the Duros in orbit laid down their arms after several of the sky cities were destroyed, the Yuuzhan Vong landed a ground force on the surface, led by Lah himself. Free of the masquer, Anor led Lah toward the laboratory in Gateway after the landing force had taken it for their own. Anor's path led them past where his former co-workers, minus the two who refused to work anymore, were diligently toiling away, before brining the warmaster to a small building. There, Lah questioned as to why the researchers would want to escape their destiny by being offered amnesty and mercy. After Anor explained that they did not understand death, Lah decided to give the researchers what they deserved for their work: a ritual killing. As such, the warmaster had researchers brought to the room, and the scientist Abbela Oldsong was one of the researchers who perished there.

Shortly after Organa Solo caused a brief distraction with the help of Jaina and Jacen that allowed some of the captives to escape the custody of the Yuuzhan Vong, several warriors captured her in a stairwell in Gateway. Anor was there when Organa Solo regained consciousness after being knocked out, and, taking her lightsaber, led her under guard to her own office quarters, where Lah was currently located. The Executor observed as Lah dominated the administrator of Gateway in an agreement on life and death, before threatening here with an imminent demise. However, Organa Solo was put away in a secure room, whose only other occupant was the Hutt Randa, before she and Randa were brought into Anor's and the warmaster's presence. However, after Lah had finished showing her the death of a portion of the refuges in Gateway, along with the destruction of all technological devices, from the room's window, Randa used his tail to overwhelm his guards.

Organa Solo rushed Anor, attempting to regain control of her lightsaber to free herself. However, although the administrator managed to get her hands on it in the confrontation with the agent, Lah grabbed the Jedi, ending her struggles as Anor kept the lightsaber; while this was happening, the priestess Vaecta strangled Randa with a tkun garrote. As a trio of Yuuzhan Vong musicians played music, Anor looked on as Organa Solo was restrained, and as her legs were lacerated by Vaecta with a tkun. The administrator was saved, to Anor's surprise, Jacen, who he believed still held by his agents on Bburru, dispatched the two guards at the entrance to the chambers and interrupted his mother's torture. As Jacen dueled the warmaster, Anor slipped out of the room, as some of the Yuuzhan Vong watchers had indicated that another Jedi approached.

In the duel, Jacen created a whirlwind with the objects in his mother's quarters via used of the Force, and Lah was thrown out of the window. Shortly after Lah landed on the ground outside, Anor arrived beside the warmaster, and although Lah tried to accuse his agent of cowardice, Anor quickly asserted that it had been prudent to leave with the other Jedi coming. Despite the efforts of the Yuuzhan Vong, a portion of the refugees escape Duro with the help of the Jedi while all but the floating city of Urrdorf were destroyed by the invaders. Later, after a small delegation of Duros and Humans landed at the remnants of Gateway, Anor stood by as Lah demanded from them the name of the young Jedi who had defeated him in the duel: Jacen Solo. The warmaster then turned his attention to the Executor, and proclaimed that his penance for his earlier failures was over. Although Anor gloated at this, he was not given a promotion that he expected.

Lah then brought all of his forces in a grand circle around the burning pit that filled the center of Gateway, and during his speech, the warmaster publicly stated that Anor`s punishment was over, and that he would be sent to a new location, a fact which confused the agent. The Executor surrendered Organa Solo`s lightsaber to Lah at the latter`s request, and observed as the warrior used a special villip to communicate with the New Republic. He demanded that they turn over the Jedi to him, especially Jacen Solo. If the citizens of the New Republic did so, Lah would halt the invasion, instead of pushing forward into the Core Worlds. Lah then threw the lightsaber into the pit to be consumed by flames.

Among the Givin
Anor soon met with Warmaster Lah to discuss another one of the Executor's schemes. With Lah's crèche-brother Qurang Lah standing by, Anor explained how the system housing the planet of Yag'Dhul was a perfect spot for a new assault against the New Republic. Despite Qurang Lah counseling the warmaster that it would be ill-advised to break the temporary cease fire between the two sides, so that the shipwomb at Sernpidal might produce more vessels, the Executor persuaded his superior to endorse the attack. However, Lah first forced Anor to make excuses for why the Executor's agents had not brought the warmaster Jacen Solo. In the end, Anor was assigned to advise Qurang Lah, who was to lead the battlegroup destined for Yag'Dhul, partially because the number of Jedi turned over to the Yuuzhan Vong had decreased, and due to the fact that Lah wanted revenge for the Jedi victory on the moon of Yavin 4. Lah also advised Anor to not fail him, lest the Executor suffer the consequences of doing so.

In preparation for the attack against Yag'Dhul, the home of the highly intellectual Givin race, disguised himself as one of them via a gablith masquer. While among the Givin on the space station of Yag'Dhul Station, Anor's inability to speak properly, even with the help of the translating tizowyrm, with other Givins because of the way that they expressed themselves with mathematical equations meant that many of the Givin aboard the station suspected that Anor was not who he said he was. However, with the help of his local agents, the Executor retained his disguise as a Givin in the eyes of those who did not suspect him. This reliance on other people annoyed Anor, as he would rather have remained independent. To make matters worse, the Rodian Jedi Kelbis Nu visited the station, and recognized Anor as a Yuuzhan Vong

The Executor dealt with this by having his Peace Brigade contacts track and kill the Jedi. This they did, on the world of Eriadu, though the dying Jedi managed with his last breath to tell a pair of Jedi&mdash;Anakin Solo and Tahiri Veila&mdash;the word Yag'Dhul, informing them of danger there. While on Yag'Dhul Station, Anor was contacted by villip by Qurang Lah, while the Executor was in his sleeping quarters. Anor learned that the Stalking Moon, the Yuuzhan Vong reconnaissance vessel using a cloaking shadow and the one tasked with arriving in the Yag'Dhul system first, was out of contact with Lah's fleet. This, along with the enemy ship that had chanced upon the Yuuzhan Vong fleet waiting for the signal to attack Yag'Dhul before being destroyed, caused the warmaster's crèche brother to believe that Anor's plan was coming apart. Tasking himself with discovering why the Stalking Moon was out of contact, Anor ended the conversation, but not before the Executor once again realized that Qurang Lah was resentful of him; this mattered, because Anor relied on the warmaster's crèche brother, as all of the warriors were loyal to him, not the agent.

In preparation for the attack on Yag'Dhul, renegade members of the Body Calculus, the government of the Givin, sabotaged the defensive grids of Yag'Dhul so that they would fall just before the attack. However, the Stalking Moon had actually been commandeered Jedi Knight Corran Horn, as well as Anakin Solo and Veila, and they managed to forewarn the Givin of the imminent attack, and the sabotage of the defensive grids. Initially confined and told to wait after telling their tale, the trio were brought before Dodecian Illiet, who was in command of the space station after the attack commenced. Illiet unknowingly assigned the disguised Anor to take the trio of Jedi to get vac suits, as the Givin were going to open the space station to the vacuum, before they boarded a small vessel that had been set aside for their escape from the embattled space station.

Anor took the Jedi through the corridors of the station, and finally down a turbolift. At the bottom, Solo sensed the presence of six Yuuzhan Vong warriors, through the lambent crystal in his lightsaber, and he and the others ignited their weapons moments before the door opened to reveal five warriors. Solo, realizing that one Yuuzhan Vong was unaccounted for, turned towards the disguised Anor, but the agent managed to punch the young Jedi in the nose, sending him tumbling out of the lift and taking Horn into the corridor with him. Veila jumped into position alongside her comrades, and both she and Solo knocked the five warriors to the ground with a Force push followed up by a barrage of cylinders from a corner. Anor, however, stepped back from the two groups, and after being unaffected by the Jedi's attack upon the warriors, laughed as he took his masquer off, and as more warriors arrived.

Anor told the Jedi that they were his captives now, and that Solo, though he was not Jacen Solo, was worth more after his exploits on Yavin 4. The trio disagreed with the Executor's first point, and Horn tried to arranged a duel with Anor, so that the agent could prove that he was not afraid to fight with the Jedi. Anor declined the offer because he claimed his duties prevented him from doing so, which caused Veila, who had been a test subject for shapers on Yavin 4 and had learned their language, shouted at the warriors facing them. The warriors, who did not have tizoworms, and could not understand the language of Galactic Basic Standard, were shocked to learn that Anor had declined an offer to duel from Horn, who had slain Shai on Ithor earlier in the war. Although Anor shouted himself hoarse trying to stop the warriors from engaging in the duel, the lead warrior Shok Choka readied himself to duel Anakin Solo, not Horn, as Veila had convinced the warriors that they would be cowards unless they fought against the Jedi who had sided with the shamed warrior Vua Rapuung on Yavin 4.

However, Solo slew Choka in the duel, and escaped the warriors. It was at that moment that the Givin opened the station to the vacuum, and this forced the warriors to break off their search fro the Jedi to retrieve ooglith cloakers, without which they could not survive; the Executor acquired one of these as well. Anor confronted Qau Lah, the new leader of the Yuuzhan Vong warriors on the station, and a pair of others at the organic docking tube that connected the vessel the warriors had come in to the Givin's spacestation. He was angry that the Jedi had slipped out of their grasp, and how they had not yet been found, though Lah was contemptuous of him for refusing to duel Solo. As the trio of warriors left to continue their search for the Jedi on the station, Anor lifted a blaster used by the enemy of his people, and proceeded to shoot all of the warriors, starting with Lah. The agent then set off and eliminated the other warriors who had seen him refuse to duel the Jedi, in order to prevent a report of that reaching Qurang Lah's ears.

The Executor was later contacted by Lah while on his ship, and was informed that the entire Yuuzhan Vong attack force had been recalled from Yag'Dhul. Furious, Anor demanded to know why, and was told that the Yuuzhan Vong shipwomb at Sernpidal at had been assualted by New Republic forces. Because the Yuuzhan Vong reserves had been committed to Yag'Dhul, only a few elements had been left to guard the shipwomb, and due to the distance of Yag'Dhul from Sernpidal, the Yuuzhan Vong forces there would not be able to defend the shipwomb in time. Anor was could not believe that the attack had happened, as his sources had not heard of word of an attack against Sernpidal. After pinning the failure on Anor, Lah asked to speak with Choka. However, Anor told him that all of them had been killed by the Jedi, and he was the only survivor. Lah ended the conversation by stating that the warmaster would hear about the incident in detail.

A trip to Belbringi
In 27 ABY, Anor was sent as an emissary by Lah to the Bilbringi Shipyards, where Yuuzhan Vong forces had correctly guessed Organa Solo would be. Anor sent a message anonymously to the staff at the shipyards claiming that he wished to discuss the fate of some refugees. Although Anor refused to reveal how he knew Organa Sol was at Bilbringi, the New Republic personnel accepted, and the agent arrived at the shipyards in a picket ship; in preparation for the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong emissary, the New Republic had made it look like the facilities were decrepit and not producing much in the ways of ships to fool the Yuuzhan Vong into thinking Bilbringi was an unworthy target to assault. Anor has a chilab organism in his nose, and upon arrival, it got a good view of the shipyards at Bilbringi. When he arrived at the station, Anor was made to wear a watchcloak with a hood, and his artificial eye was confiscated. The only thing he was allowed to bring into the interrogation chamber, besides himself, was a small villip, which had been thoroughly examined for dangerous substances.

The interrogation chamber itself consisted of a room, that could be opened to the vacuum with a touch of a button, with one wall that featured a transparisteel panel, through which Anor could talk to his interrogators. Organa Solo, who was to lead the discussion, only found out that it was Anor who was the emissary when the Executor lowered his hood. Guving no finite answers as to how the Yuuzhan Vong had known that Organa Solo and her husband would be at Bilbringi, the agent proceeded to show those looking through the transparisteel an image of the cruiser Nebula Chaser via his villip. Explaining that the image was a live feed, Anor offered to trade the ship for information that would help the Yuuzhan Vong, but Organa Solo flatly refused to negotiate with the likes of Lah. Anor specified the request: the location of the secret Jedi base. However, when Organa Solo denied the existence of it, the villip depicted the live destruction of the Nebula Chaser, killing those on board.

Explaining that those of board had died because of the presence of Jedi on the Nebula Chaser, the agent threatened that more lives would be lost unless the Jedi surrendered to the Yuuzhan Vong. Anor further elaborated that his race had put emplace a blockade around the world of Talfaglio, and if the Jedi surrendered, the refugee convoys being held there would not be destroyed; if Anor did not return from his mission, the refugees would be all killed as well. However, both Organa Solo and her husband did not take kindly to the offer, and they let a bit of vacuum into the room as a surprised Anor yelled at them that they would kill millions. Though they resealed the room, allowing Anor to readjust to the pressure inside, the pair told him that they would not be responsible for deaths of those they did not kill, and that further emissaries would not return to Lah. Anor then took his leave.

Later, on the world of Obroa-skai, Anor met Lah at the Museum of Applied Photonics, and was escorted in. Although Anor did not personally find the sight of the metal and other technologies used by the "infidels" they were fighting offensive, he made it look like they did. Anor found Lah in a chamber which held kilometer long ropes and treads that were all tangled together in a mass. The warmaster used a holopad to summon a life size image of an enemy X-wing starfighter from the mass of threads, which hovered above Lah and opened fire. All of the occupants of the room, save Lah and Anor ducked for cover. Although Anor did not believe that holographic devices were a danger, Lah asserted that a coralskipper pilot could easily be fooled by an illusionary X-wing. After Lah briefly reprimanded Anor for failing so often, the Executor handed the chilab over, following the removal of it from his nose.

Although the Executor was confident that the Jedi would react to the ultimatum issued by Lah, the newly arrived Vergere thought that the Jedi would smell the trap; Vergere had survived the Elan debacle, and after learning much about the enemies of the Yuuzhan Vong, had become Anor's greatest rival. The three discussed the reaction of Organa Solo to the destruction of the Nebula Chaser, and the brief exposure to vacuum Anor had received at her request. Anor, who tried to make his report seem as if the agent was in control of the interrogation at the shipyards, claimed that Organa Sol had yielded to the fact that her actions against Anor would kill millions, but Vergere instead asserted that she had refused to take blame. When asked why the Princess of the world Alderaan had spared his life, Anor lied that it was because she was sending him off with a warning, and not because she had promised to let him go. Despite how the Jedi were proving to be cunning foes, the warmaster believed that the refugees would be able to drive the New Republic and the New Jedi Order apart. Over the course of the time that Anor and Vergere were both advising Lah, they frequently insulted one another, in the midst of doing their duties of interpreting and offering advice to the warmaster.

Emmisary on Coruscant
After being summoned to Lah's private warren aboard the Sunulok, the agent slashed himself hastily in multiple locations to look devout, before heading over to the warmaster's location. Permited to enter by a sentry, the Executor did so, and was greeted by the sight of both Lah, who was talking to a villip, and Anor's new rival Vergere. Lah addressed Anor after momentarily ceasing his conversation with the person on the other end of the villip connection&mdash;Senator Shesh&mdash; and finding Anor bloodied, gave the agent a thorn seat to sit on, so that he could finish the devotions that the summoning had interrupted. Seated on the thorns, which bit into his back and buttocks, Anor listened to a briefing by Shesh after Lah had told her of Anor's presence in the room; Shesh herself had quickly bypassed Anor and taken her services straight to Lah as soon as she could.

Shesh reported how Jacen Solo had proposed a plan to ambush the blockade of Talfaglio, and how she had persuaded Bothan Chief of State Borsk Fey'lya to permit a military study. She also informed them Fey'lya had also asked for an envoy of the Yuuzhan Vong to come speak with them, purely to give more time for the military study to run its course. After the conversation with Shesh had ended, Lah tasked Anor with being the envoy that would go to Coruscant, purely because he did not trust the accuracy of Shesh's report. Vergere's protest that he should not go, supposedly because Anor had caused the New Republic too much trouble and the Chief of State would not be allowed to talk to him, was overruled. Lah also gave the thorn seat to Anor as a gift.

In preparation for his arrival on Coruscant, Anor, known to Fey'lya as only the emissary, finalized the details with the Bothan. Though the Chief of State wanted to receive the Yuuzhan Vong emissary in the State Reception Hall where both sides could script their coming conversation, Anor wanted Fey'lya to meet his as the agent disembarked from his ship. Because of the disagreement, Anor as the emissary, compromised with the Bothan to meet him in the Grand Convocation Chamber of the Senate Building, where all the citizens of the galaxy could watch as the two conversed in an unscripted event. Wearing a hooded cloak and a set of red vonduun crab armor, Anor walked slowly down the stairs that led to the chamber's center, unescorted by bodyguards of any type and welding onloy a single amphistaff. Anor ignored the senators that jeered at him, and those that offered private meetings with the emissary after approaching him. When the Togorian delagestes threw a group of cag mugs at him, the Executor responded by glaring at the security droids that stopped the thrown items from hitting him.

After Anor reached the floor of the chamber, he was met by Fey'lya after he descended from the chief of state's console, alongside Shesh and Fyor Rodan, both members of the New Republic Advisory Council. It was only then that Anor threw off his hood, revealing himself as the emissary to the all the senators present, and all those watching. Fey'lya and Anor discussion the interdiction of the world of Taflaglio, and the Yuuzhan Vong's ultimatum in front of the occupants of the chamber. During the conversation, Anor used tactics of his to divide the entire Senate between those the Yuuzhan Vong could intimidate, and those who would not be. Fey'lya questioned the why the Yuuzhan Vong were valuing the Jedi so high, and cut Shesh out as she tried to announce that the New Republic had no control over the actions of the Jedi Knights.

The Bothan insulted the Yuuzhan Vong for not engaging the Jedi head on, and for hiding behind the lives of refugees, and Anor could not defend well against Fey'lya's point. The Chief of State proceeded to throw his cards in with the Jedi, though the Bothan had a history of not liking them, and suggested that the Jedi Order were well loved in Bothan space. As Anor was supplied with possible planets where the Jedi might reside, most of which had no populations present on them, the Bothan prevented the Executor from leaving the chamber to relay the places to his masters, forcing Anor to use a villip instead; Fey'lya wanted Anor to stay on Coruscant until he had explained the millions of hostages taken at Talfaglio.

Sometime later, and still on Coruscant, Anor addressed those present in the Grand Convocation Chamber, and the speech was streamed on the holonetworks all over the galaxy. As he had been denied the right to wear the uniform of a Yuuzhan Vong warrior, the agent was dressed in a cloak of living glistaweb, which could stop a blaster bolt if need be. From the speaker's podium, Anor had a public audience with Fey'yla, who demanded that the Executor explain the taking of the hostages. However, Anor only wanted to inform them that the deadline had been increased, and further shocked the audience by revealing the reason for this: seventeen young Jedi had been turned over to the Yuuzhan Vong by a citizen of the New Republic. It took many moments for the clamor produced due to Anor's revelation to die down enough for the agent to prove the capture by providing a list of the names of those captured.

Among the list was the three young Solos&mdash;Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin&mdash; which further shocked the audience at large. However, despite the Yuuzhan Vong emissary's control of the Senate at that moment, Shesh made Anor look like a bit of a fool after she criticized him for not knowing that Jaina and Jacen were twins, an important thing in the Yuuzhan Vong culture. Despite Shesh's attack at Anor, she later aided him in the debate, when the Bothan vainly sought to hide the time in which seventeen more Jedi would have to be turned over to the Yuuzhan Vong to save the hostages. For this, the Chief of State publicly defeated Shesh's political challenge, before sending the Calibop security member Mif Kumas and three security droids to arrest Anor for the attempt on the Bothan's life that had occurred before Anor's address, which the agent had nothing to do with as Shesh has planned it.

As Kumas neared Anor with a pair a stun cuffs, the agent extended both of his arms, before putting his wrists together and ripping off one of his little fingers. From the base of his finger spread a black cloud of vapor, quickly spreading out to engulf the droids, Anor, and the Calibop. The security droids only fired at the Executor after he shoved the base of his finger into the face of Kumas, but the glistaweb stopped those bolts. The black cloud continued to grow, and as it filled the chamber, it knocked unconscious all of the individuals inside it, as Anor made his escape, knocking down the protection droids and leaving his glistaweb robe there.

Assigned a mission
Having just come aboard the Sunulok after escaping from Coruscant, Anor was ordered to visit the Glory Room, where the warmaster sat on a cognition throne among the many blaze bugs that depicted the Yuuzhan Vong forces and those of their enemies in the entire galaxy. Complying, Anor passed through the blaze bugs, and then the apprentices and subalterns that surrounded Lah, before making his presence know to the warrior. Vergere congratulated Anor on his escape, but their conversation soon took a downward turn as the discussion skirted the topic of the assassination attempt that Anor had been blamed for, and one that Vergere had helped orchestrate. However, Lah stopped the bickering of the two just before Vergere was going to insult Anor, which would have mandated that Anor kill her. He turned the topics to whether Jacen and Jaina were actually twins, and Anor could not deny this fact, despite stating that twins were common appearance in the non-Yuuzhan Vong races.

When Lah began to get angry that he had not been informed that the two Solos were Twins, Anor risked much by commenting that it was good that Jacen had escaped Lah on Duro, for the sacrifice of both of the twins would be a great gift to the god Yun-Yuuzhan. This idea fixated Lah, and he agreed that the two Solos should fight each other in ritual combat to the death, an idea that Anor had further suggested. Anor even went so far as to smirk in Vergere's direction when Lah liked the iea, for the Fosh had disagreed with the plan. Sometime later, Anor found Vergere playing Lah in a game of dejarik, and he was aghast at how the Fosh had managed to survive suggested that the warmaster play an infidel game before he found out that the feathered being claimed that it would help Lah think like the Jedi.

As the Exquisite Death, the vessel on which the seventeen young Jedi were being transported, was a day overdue, Lah took Vergere's advice to think like the Jedi would. Concluding that the Jedi would strike at the target that threatened them the most, the warmaster ordered Anor to go to the worldship of Baanu Rass over the world of Myrkr; the Baanu Rass was the home of all of the cloned Jedi-hunting voxyn hounds, as the voxyn queen, the original subject, resided there. Lah tasked Anor with traveling to Myrkr aboard the frigate Ksstarr and eliminating the seventeen Jedi, save for the twins which he was ordered to bring back alive. The Executor was elated at this new task, as it was the most important assignment to date for him. However, as he backed towards the door, Vergere expressed her doubts about his abilities to Lah, and Anor overheard those comments.

Lah called to Anor before he left the room entirely, and after Anor accidently insulted the warmaster for trusting Vergere, Lah grew tired of the bickering of the two. Thus, he had Vergere accompany Anor on his mission, despite the protests of the Fosh. During the mission, both would fail, or both would succeed, and they would need to work together to make sure that happened. For the mission to Myrkr, Anor was not permitted to use his plaetrin bol, so he was forced to leave his one eye socket empty. Anor was also not to contact Lah himself until his mission was complete.

A reluctant alliance
The Ksstarr arrived near Myrkr shortly after the Jedi team that had escaped Yuuzhan Vong custody had made landfall on the worldship. Anor and Vergere, along with over a hundred and four warriors from the frigate, descended to the Baanu Rass in a shuttle, and landed in a port on the worldship's surface. Upon exiting the shuttle, Anor and Vergere conferred with a warrior who had seen the team earlier, and he pointed the Executor in the direction where the Jedi were currently: the detention warren near the port. Anor and Vergere then began to pursue the Jedi team with One Scourge, one of the three companies of warriors from the Ksstarr, as the Jedi entered the training course for the voxyn.

Anor and the group tracked the Jedi into a swampy area that was located along the floor of the canyon that was the training area for the voxyn. However, it was there among the trees in the swamp that Anor's contingent of warriors was ambushed by the Jedi team. With his warriors getting picked off by fragmentation grenades and blaster fire, Anor, positioned at the back of the pack, started to yell into his shoulder-villp. Anor too would have succumbed to the ambush, had it not been for Jacen's indecision that delayed his blaster shot long enough for Vergere to drag Anor behind cover. The surviving warriors of One Scourge took cover behind the trees in the swamp, and began to fire back at the Jedi with their own weapons, but Jacen drew over a half dozen voyxn to their position by opening himself to the Force. After the voxyn reached the location of the battle, Jacen manipulated the voxyn to attack everything in the water, as the Jedi team had climbed up the trees.

The combination between the voxyn and the Jedi's long range weapons proved fatal for all of Anor's warriors in One Scourge, leaving Vergere and Anor with no support; the Jedi killed the voxyn that Jacen had summoned not long after the warriors were slain. Despite losing the initial engagement, Anor's forces and constant attacks on the Jedi team began to wear them down. However, although Anor's forces were initially ordered to capture the strike team alive if possible, once the Jedi got closer to the location of the voxyn team, the Yuuzhan Vong forces began to use more dangerous weaponry such as razor bugs. The Executor had his men ambush the Jedi team in the city where the Baanu Rass slaves were kept, after infiltrating disguised Yuuzhan Vong warriors among the slave populace. The resulting attack killed Jovan Drark and Eryl Besa, and seriously wounded Anakin before the team escaped.

After the slave city incident, Anor and the warriors of Two Scourge constantly harried the Jedi, staying just far enough behind the team's Barabels could not hear them, but close enough so that the Jedi were forced to keep moving, lest they be captured. This wore down the Jedi even more, as they could not stop to rest even for a bit. The pursuing warriors soon caught up to the Jedi, but the Jedi brought down a portion of the tunnel they were in with explosives, momentarily halting the Yuuzhan Vong advance, though the warriors that Anor led clambered over the ruble pile that had been created to engage the Jedi. Mines that had been planted earlier on the opposite side of the rumble pile went off then, killing more warriors, but not before the Barabel Jedi Bela Hara was slain. Despite the mound of bodies and ruble that now stopped the Yuuzhan Vong from advancing, Anor ordered his troops to crawl over the bodies to continue harassing the Jedi.

While the Executor was still in pursuit of the Jedi with Two Scourge, Lah contacted Anor via a villip. Anor informed Lah of the situation, and how even as he pursued the Jed with Two Scourge, the forces of Three Scourge lay in wait at the of a transit, where they would ambush the Jedi team. Lah emphasized the fat that the Solo twins were to be taken alive, as well as the fate that any warrior who took one of the Solo twins' lives would meet. Lah then ended the conversation with Anor, leaving the Executor to continue with his plan to catch the Jedi. However, the Jedi force outwitted Anor, hiding in a short access tunnel that led to an enormous feral voxyn den. Anor's forces from Two Scourge passed right by, partially because the pack of voxyn they had had initially with them had all been slain earlier by the Jedi, and thus no beasts alerted the warriors to the presence of the Jedi. Thus, the Jedi force was never hammered between Two Scourge and Three Scourge.

Over an hour after the Jedi escaped Anor's trap, they found a serviceable YV-888 freighter, by the name of Tachyon Flier, and repaired it enough so that it was once more space worthy. However, two Dark Jedi that were tagging along with the team after the Jedi rescued them stole the ship, taking along with them one of the wounded Jedi, and Anor's frigate the Ksstarr pursued it as it left the atmosphere of the Baanu Rass. It was then, after the YV-888 left the worldship, that the Jedi launched their attack on a grashal in which the voxyn queen was located. With the Jedi engaged with the warriors at the grashal, Anor and some of his forces arrived to back them up, with an artillery squad with magma spitters preventing the Jedi from escaping from the makeshift door they had created, while Anor's other troops approached the primary entrance.

Disguised as a sandy-haired Human, and wielding an E-11 blaster rifle, Anor entered the grashal through the primary entrance by slipping through the organic membrane there before any of his warriors did. Although he was spotted by Anakin, who was on the verge of dying and was only surviving by using the Force to keep himself moving and fighting, saw Anor, and although he saw through the disguise after a moment with the Force, the Executor fired upon the Jedi, and escaped. Despite Anakin's warning to the others that the Anor was going for the voxyn queen's pen, the agent made it there, and released the beast. Collecting a cargo pod full of voxyn tissue, that would be able to clone a million more voxyn, Anor dragged the pod toward the Jedi team's makeshift entrance in order to escape, as Anakin was currently engaging the Yuuzhan Vong warriors that had poured through the primary entrance.

However, before Anor escaped, Anakin, who was succumbing to the Force as he used it to kill the warriors, threw a thermal detonator, which hit the agent in the head. When he reached for the detonator, Anakin used the Force to move it out of Anor's reach, before the Jedi guided it under the cargo pod. With no time left before it exploded, Anor fled cursing, just as Anakin Solo fell to the warriors' attacks, and died. The cloning grashal itself did not survive the fight, putting another smear on Anor's record. However, although the Jedi team failed to kill the voxyn queen there, Anor did not succeed in capturing the twins at the grashal either. Shortly after the Jedi escaped, a portion of the team stole the Ksstarr assault shuttle, as well as the body of Anakin, which was until then in Yuuzhan Vong possession.

To catch a queen, and the twins
As both teams pursued the run away voxyn queen, Anor's frigate landed near where the Yuuzhan Vong had located her: in an underground abandoned insectile hive on the surface on the worldship. Disembarking from his ship alongside other members of his race, Anor met with a shaper near the position of the voxyn queen, whom they could not approach in the fear that it would run off. Vergere soon joined Anor and the shaper there, and a shouting match soon broke out between the three as they decided what to do about the voxyn queen and the stolen shuttle. However, their argument was broken off when the Ksstarr on the surface was assaulted by the stolen shuttle, piloted by Jaina. The resulting explosions sent Vergere scurrying away, and moments later, a cascade of ruble from the weakened ceiling landed around Anor and the shaper; the explosions also scared off the voxyn queen, and forced a portion of the Jedi team, who were watching the queen and the Yuuzhan Vong in the hive, to change positions momentarily.

By the time Anor had reached the edge of the fallen hive, the shuttle had been shot down by the grounded Ksstarr, cuasing the shuttle to crash with its Jedi occupants in it upon the Baanu Rass. While the shaper, who had also survived the fall of debris, went in search of the voxyn queen, Anor headed to the surface towards the position of his frigate. Upon reaching the surface, which had an atmosphere of its own to allow the breathing of sentient beings, Anor stripped some of the Ksstarr crew to arm a company of around fifty warriors before he approached the position of the crashed shuttle. The shuttle had landed in the center of a huge depression that housed a honeycomb-like formation of dovin basals, some alive, and others dead. The Executor and his group picked their way towards the position of the crashed shuttle, along the edges of the basal-comb, while the Jedi in the shuttle fired upon the warriors.

Only suffering the bolts and missiles for the Jedi position in order to capture Jaina, Anor witnessed the warrior in front of him being split apart by opposing blaster fire, but continued to advance. Meanwhile, the shaper managed to regain control of the voxyn queen, and escorted it to the frigate in order to keep it safe. However, before the shaper and the warrior escorts could bring it inside the frigate, Jacen, who was watching the events in the depression alongside some of the other Jedi, as well as Vergere, prompted the queen to flee the Yuuzhan Vong via use of the Force; Vergere has approached the Jedi team and was secretly aiding them in their pursuit of the voxyn queen. The beast escaped its captors, and proceeded to flee to the basal-comb, with both the shaper and Jacen in pursuit.

While Jacen's pursuit of the queen distracted the warriors guarding the Ksstarr, other members of the strike team seized control of Anor's frigate. Although harried by coralskippers and a Yuuzhan Vong corvette, the rogue Ksstarr evacuated all of the surviving Jedi team save for Jacen. With Jaina no longer in the shuttle to capture, Anor and his warriors instead headed for where Jacen was confronting the voxyn queen, all the while taking fire from his own ship, now in the hands of the Jedi. Meanwhile, Jacen killed the voxyn queen with a little help from Vergere, who had followed him after he had ran out after the queen. However, Vergere, who had just secretly aided the other side, restrained the young wounded Jedi from fighting against Anor and the others. As Anor's frigate was used to carry remnants of the Jedi team to safety, following a failed attempt to break through a screen of corvettes to rescue Jacen, the male Solo twin fell into Anor's clutches. Shortly after the capture of Jacen, Anor reported to Harrar, who had been sent to consecrate the twins for sacrifice, that although Jaina had escaped, she was still in the agent's reach.

Harrar later called on Anor to field another report through the use of a villip, and the Executor reluctantly complied with the request. Anor outlined the losses, including the death of the voxyn queen, and also had to inform Harrar and the warrior Khalee Lah that Jaina Solo had escaped with the survivors of the Jedi strike team aboard the Ksstarr, which was currently vectoring away from the Baanu Rass. However, the agent also stressed that Jacen had been captured, and that Anakin had been slain. After Harrar stated that it would be prudent for Anor not to take Jacen with him as he searched for Jaina, so that they might not telepathically communicate, Anor handed the job of pursuing Jaina to Harrar and his priestship, while he himself took Jacen back to the warmaster.

The World-Well
Following the capture of Jacen Solo, Anor, with Vergere's help, began the secret Solo Project, which had a goal of converting the young Jedi so he accepted the beliefs of the Yuuzhan Vong as his own. Aboard a small ship, Anor monitored Solo as he was subjected to an Embrace of Pain, in order to break his will, or let him begin to relish physical torment. Very early in into the initial stages of the project, the Executor predicted that the Jedi would indeed turn to the True Way, and he was proven right after Solo was in the Embrace of Pain for a significant amount of time. Anor furnished a report of the Embrace of Pain's analysis of Solo's brain chemistry, and while Anor ate from a sacworm full of dragweed broth, he listened to a drone relay the findings of Anor's report to Warmaster Lah via villip.

With Vergere in the room with him, Anor specifically waited for when Lah would become irate at the boring report from the drone, and this occurred when the drone began to compare Solo's data to three Yuuzhan Vong and their own data. While the drone scurried from the room, Anor began to offer his own interpretation of the data, in a much more clear and concise tone than the report that he himself had written. While depicting the earlier attempts to convert Jedi as failures, and the one where Veila had almost been turned into a Yuuzhan Vong a blasphemy, Anor reported that the Solo Project would indeed work, as the data from the Embrace of Pain showed that Solo was accepting the pain. Lah, however, was not sure why he would actually want Solo to believe in the True Way. Despite this, Anor managed to convince the Warmaster of the importance of Jacen Solo.

Anor emphasized the importance of the Solo family, how they had dominated the politics of the New Repulbic for many years, and lastly how they had inadvertently helped the Yuuzhan Vong invasion by defeating the Empire, which could have posed a problem to the invaders. The point that completely cemented the value of Solo's conversion was Anor's suggestion that a changed Jacen Solo would fulfill the Great Sacrifice by capturing his sister and taking her life. However, Lah took this in a more fanatic state of mind than Anor would have liked, and the warmaster declared that if Anor failed to bring this scenario to be, Anor would be sacrificed, despite the Executor's attempts to reason with the warmaster. Lah ended the villip conversation, and a slightly shaken Anor was left to confide with Vergere about the status of Solo's conversion.

As the Solo Project continued to take place, the young Jedi was moved from the Embrace of Pain, after he had learned to not fight against the pain, to the Nursery on a Yuuzhan Vong seedship. The Nursery was where infant dhuryams, destined to be world-coordinators, were raised as they learned to telepathically control slave gangs in the Nursery. Solo was placed into the Nursery among the slaves, and Anor and Vergere were keen to watch his interactions with the dhuryams. Anor and Vergere monitored Solo's progress has he first began to administer aid to the wounded slaves, and then as he became allies of sorts with one of the dhuryams. Sometime after Solo's introduction into the Nursery, the Executor and the Fosh observed the Jedi through the use of a viewspider, and Anor voiced his concerns of Solo's increased freedom to his co-conspirator.

As Anor had underestimated Jedi far too often, the agent was worried that the Jedi might possibly wreck havoc on the seedship, which was irreplaceable as it was full of gene samples from the Yuuzhan Vong's destroyed homeworld of Yuuzhan'tar. When Vergere tried to calm his fears, he waved her off, and out of the room, before ordering a special contingent of over a hundred warriors to go undercover in the Nursery via the use of masquers to guard against any attempt Solo might have of destroying the seedship. The Executor also decided to have his personal coralcraft prepped so it would be ready if he had to make a quick escapel, in the event that Solo did something unpredictable, and Anor was forced to deal with the consequences. It soon be came time for the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, a ceremony in which one of the dhuryams would be chosen to be the World Brain of the world of Coruscant, which had fallen to the Yuuzhan Vong while Anor was occupied at Myrkr.

For the ceremony, while one of the yammosk' bretheren, a shreeyam'tiz, prevented the dhuryams from commanding their slaves groups as groups of guarded shapers evaluated the domains that each of the dhuryams had created up until then. During the ceremony, Anor watched Solo with the use of the viewing spider, and was amazed and annoyed by two things the Jedi did. Solo did not run to the coraltree basals in the area like the rest of the salves did after the dhuryams lost their control over the slaves, as the Jedi could indure the pain that came from not staying in physical contact with the coraltrees. Additioanlly, the Jedi had situated himself in a amphistaff grove, which would have usually killed anything, Yuuzhan Vong or not, that came inside it. The Executor was confused and agitated at Solo's behavior, as he knew that the Jedi was aware that all of the other slaves would be killed following the ceremony.

Despite Vergere assurances that it was good that Solo stood alone, as he was embracing the Yuuzhan Vong by not going to the other slaves, Anor did not trust that the Jedi had been converted. Fearing that Solo might in some way disrupt the important ceremony, the Executor communicated with the cloaked warriors in the Nursery and ordered them to capture Solo in the amphistaff grove, and to kill him if they could not apprehend him. The warriors were to then bring the bound Jedi to Anor's coralskipper, if Solo was still alive. Although Anor stood by his reasons of taking Solo out of the Nursery, Vergere questioned the command, and bid Anor pay close attention to Solo in the coming moments. Vergere was right: instead of being able to capture the young Solo, the Jedi instead lured one of the warriors who came to get him into the amphistaff grove to be ripped apart, before summoning multiple amphistaffs to form an armor for him so he could engage the heavy warrior squads coming for him.

Realizing that Solo was going to throw away his life, and make a scene doing so, Anor was so furious that he dashed his sacworm to bits. The Executor even briefly considered defecting to the enemy rather than face Lah's wrath at the death of Solo. Vergere however sought to remedy the situation, despite Anor's attempts to keep her away from the Jedi and not expose the Solo Project, pointing out that Solo could probably do more damage than killing a few warriors. Vergere's point was proven when through the viewing spider, they saw Solo race to engage the warriors head on. Solo took out a few of the warriors before being knocked unconscious, and Anor took this as a sign that the Jedi could now be constrained. However, Vergere once again asked to be let to go to the Jedi's side before more damage was done, and showed the Executor that the danger was not over in the Nursery, as the slave gangs were now engaging the warriors and slaughtering the warriors in there; Solo's real target had not been warriors but the shreeyam'tiz, which when destroyed had released the slaves to be once more telepathically controlled by the dhuryams.

When Anor realized this, he was aghast. The agent went into even more shock as the slaves controlled by the dhuryam that Solo had bonded with used spade rays as makeshift catapults to fling flammable sparkbee honey in order to set fire to much of the area surrounding the hive-island where the dhuryams dwelt. As the chaos progressed, the dhuryams not affiliated with Solo brought all of their slaves near the hive-island to defend themselves, and in doing so forced their slaves upon the surviving warriors that had formed a ring around the dhuryams. By then, as the coral tree basals were afire, Anor had descended into a dazed state, at how badly the ceremony was going, and because he knew that Lah would kill him for failing to keep the situation under control. It took a while to for Vergere to convince the dazed Anor that Solo's mission was not just to arouse chaos in the Nursery, and that he was heading for the hive-island to destroy some or all of the dhuryams.

Only after Anor witnessed, from the viewspider, Solo making his way through the frenzied slaves around the hive-island to kill his first dhuryam did this danger finally sink in. In order to save the seed ship and the dhuryams, Anor allowed Vergere to go to Solo. As soon as Vergere was gone, Anor sprinted for his coralcraft, in order to escape the chaos on the seed ship and save his life. Despite Solo's drive to kill the dhuryams, Vergere interceded before the Jedi could kill the dhuryam he had bonded with, though she failed to save the others. In this way, the surviving dhuryam became the World Brain for Coruscant, renamed Yuuzhan'tar by the Yuuzhan Vong as they began its terraforming. Solo also did not die, and was inserted onto Yuuzhan'tar in the seedfall, where the seedship that had held the Nursery deposited its valuable living cargo onto the plant to further change Coruscant into a representation of the original Yuuzhan'tar.

Because Vergere had managed to prevent the seedship's and one of the dhuryam's destructions, Anor was not faulted by Lah for dooming the Yuuzhan Vong's ability to create a new Yuuzhan'tar. Despite the mishap in the Nursery, Anor was still on board with the Solo Project, and thus continued to help Vergere. Around the time that the old Galactic Senate was being converted into the Well of the World Brain, to house the single surviving dhuryam so it could become the World Brain for the new Yuuzhan'tar, Anor bribed a shaper to grow a concealed coralcraft near the World Well, so that the agent could make a quick escape if he needed to. While the craft was growing, the agent secretly visited the coralcraft numerous times using a hidden hatch sphincter that was concealed in the outer coral of the World Well. During these visits, Anor allowed the craft to imprint itself to his mental signature so that only he would be able to use its pilot brain.

Weeks after the seedfall on Yuuzhan'tar, Anor, in helping with Vergere's conversion of Solo, went to order Master Shaper Ch'Gang Hool, who was in charge of the shaping of captured Coruscant, to throw all of his resources to catching Solo. During the meeting, the agent lied to the Master Shaper that he had been sent by Lah to order the capture of Solo, and showed him an image of Solo via a dwarf viewspider. It was during this meeting that the Master Shaper found out that Solo, who had almost destroyed the seedship, was alive and well on the world he was tasked with shaping for the first time, and this made Hool aghast. Though he at first resisted Anor's request from him as the Master Shaper believed himself to be too important, Anor got the shaper's attention by stating that he knew where Solo was at that moment, and what he was doing. In this way, Anor persuaded Hool to send troops out to catch the Jedi, which would aid in the conversion of Solo.

After Hool released the warriors to hunt for Solo, Vergere, who had been with the Jedi since the seedfall, accompanied the young Jedi as he fled from the warriors pursuing him. Vergere took the lead after a while, and led Solo down deep into the lower levels of Yuuzhan'tar, below where the original Jedi Temple has stood, and near to where a nexus of dark dide energy existed. Anor and a dozen of Hool's warriors waited near that nexus in a darkened room, and Vergere brought Solo to them. When the lights in that room went on, Solo saw Vergere, who he believed to be on his side, consulting with the Executor, and the combination between this betrayal and the dark side energy close at hand caused the Jedi to unleash his anger. Solo hit Vergere with a blast of Force lightning, and when he could not do that to Anor and the other Yuuzhan Vong warriors, as they could not be reached by the Force, Solo channeled the power of a storm that was raging on the surface of Yuuzhan'tar. The wind that Solo summoned pelted the warriors and Anor as the later shouted orders to them before pushing them back into a corner of the room.

Solo then brought down the room's ceiling, and the resulting avalanche of rubble almost buried the Executor and his warriors, though they all miraculously were unharmed as the rubble proceeded to divide separate the Yuuzhan Vong from Solo and and the wounded Vergere. Vergere eventually made it over to where Anor and the warriors were, and proceeded to use her tears to heal her many scrapes and burns; Vergere had successfully manipulated Solo into using the dark side of the Force, thus opening him to both sides, and had explained the need to use both sides to Solo after the Jedi had come out of his raging attack. With Solo gone as he had run away, stricken that he had used the dark side for harm, Anor berated his Fosh companion for unleashing Solo in Basic, as he did not want the warriors to know that he was scared that he had almost died. Shaken from the near miss, Anor wondered how opening Solo to the dark side would aid in their primary objective of converting Solo. Verger, however, assured him that Solo has to first unlearn lies, and her actions had been done to further the goal of the Solo Project.

Vergere eventually tracked Solo down to what remained of the apartment that he had lived in before Coruscant fell, and Anor and his warriors followed the Fosh there. He and the others waited outside of the apartment until Vergere managed to get Solo to open himself to the Yuuzhan Vong part of the world around him, allowing him to sense the Yuuzhan Vong creatures for the first time. Feeling triumphant, Anor entered the apartment on the heels of Hool's warriors, and begged Solo to embrace the True Way, as the Force was corrupt and had no purpose. The agent proclaimed that Solo could become a God, and proceeded to take the lightsaber of Anakin Solo out of his cloak and used it to cut away the web cables of some arachnoids who had bound Solo to a chair while he had contemplated his existence. The Executor then knelt before the Jedi, and offered him the lightsaber, giving him the choice to either slay all the Yuuzhan Vong in the room with it, or join their side.

Solo, after thinking on the choice, decided to join the Yuuzhan Vong in their worship of the True Way and used the Force to send the lightsber to Vergere instead of taking it up in battel. This choice caused Anor to feel triumphant, as he had completed his mission. However, some Yuuzhan Vong, including Anor, were a bit mistrustful of the conversion of Solo, and thus did not let the Jedi anywhere near the location of the World Brain, which was the dhuryam that was controlling the terraforming of Yuuzhn'tar. Anor was placed under Solo's control, and the plan of having Jacen Solo slay his sister in battle was moved foreword, and Solo set about trying to capture his sister. A rumor was spread that Jacen Solo had been spotted, and the Yuuzhan Vong hoped that Solo's sister would track down the origin of that source. However, it was the Jedi Knight Ganner Rhysode who instead tracked the rumor to its source weeks after it had been spread, and found Solo and a small group of warriors, who captured the Jedi. Anor was informed of the plan's failure via villip, and the operation was called off, because of the potential danger of other Jedi, who were not Jaina Solo, of finding the rumor's source.

Rysode was brought drugged to Yuuzhan'tar, and while the unconscious Jedi slept on nearby, Anor questioned Solo's call on bringing Rhysode back to the world instead of just killing him, as it looked as if Solo was not completely devoted to the True Way. However, Solo claimed that Rhysode should be sacrificed in the right way, and went as far as to suggest that the sacrifice could be a dry-run for the one where Solo would sacrifice his sister. Though Anor was in accord with the idea of the sacrifice, he at first questioned the dry-run idea, though the Jedi eased the agent's doubts when he claimed that he needed practice making a Jedi a willing sacrifice, which Solo believed the Great Sacrifice needed. Thus it was decided that a dry-run of the Great Sacrifice would be attempted with Rysode. Solo was left for a while with Rhysode, to convert him, but when the monitor creatures used to observe the two Jedi went unconscious, Anor, along with Hool and a contingent of warriors and priests, arrived at the chamber the two were in to see if everything was all right.

The chamber where the two Jedi resided had its door opened, and Anor inquired as to why the monitors had been knocked out. Solo, playing his role as a Sacred Twin, declared that Anor's concern was an insult, and that the monitors must have fallen asleep because he willed it. This show frightened the priests present, but not Anor, who was still not quite convinced of Solo's devotion. At Solo's orders, Rhysode then declared that he was a willing sacrifice, and the assembled warriors and priests began to chant, honoring Solo for his conversion of Rhysode. However, Anor again did not truly believe the conversion of the other captured Jedi, but the Executor was willing to set the dry-run in motion after explaining to a curios Rhysode that the chanting was not out of respect for the newly-converted Jedi, but merely honoring his willing sacrifice.

The Yuuzhan Vong created a procession that would take Solo and Rhysode to the Well of the World Brain, which had once been the Galactic Senate building. Ringed by a group of honor guards, Anor and Hool walked ahead of the two Jedi as they made their way towards where the dry-run of the Great Sacrifice would take place. The procession passed through a growing hedge maze that ringed the Well of the World Brain, before eventually mounting a causeway that led to the entrance of the Well. It was there that Rhysode collapsed, and Anor was forced to lie to Hool that the Jedi was merely expressing his reverence to the gods. Anor came over to where Rhysode lay, and begged Solo to get the other Jedi moving again. Solo, after a moment, fooled Anor into thinking Rhysode was alright after the converted Jedi lifted Rhysode up with the Force and made it look as if he was walking towards the World Well.

The procession stopped at the Great Door, and Anor stepped to one side as Solo addressed the procession behind him, declaring his devotion to the true gods. The pair of Jedi then entered through the Great Door, and although Anor, Hool, as well as the priests and warriors made to follow them, Solo closed the door with the Force before they could do so. Left outside, Anor pretended nothing was wrong for a few moments, but was then forced to order (?) that the Great Door be smashed open. This was done, and a host of warriors entered into the old Galactic Senate, with a squad being sent to check the corridor that led to where the World Brain was situated. Anor hung back near the wreckage of the Great Door as a precaution, and five minutes after the squad, who never came back, had been sent down the corridor, Rhysode appeared in the doorway that that led to it. Prompted by the leader of the warriors to do something, as it was the Executor's event, Anor ordered Rhysode to step a side, emboldened by the fact that Rhysode was a weak Jedi.

Anor explained how desperate Rhysode's situation was, citing the fact that there were thousands of warriors that would go against him. However, Rhysode, claimed that he would only have to buy Solo time to be with the World Brain, and proceeded to guard the corridor, using Anakin Solo`s lightsaber that Jacen Solo had given to him, to the Well Brain as the Yuuzhan Vong warriors attempted to get past him. As the warriors failed to get past Rhysode, Anor was appalled at the turn of events, and tried to get the Yuuzhan Vong warrior commader to either gas Rhysode or blow him up, so that they could stop Solo from being alone with the World Brain. However, the commander refused to do this, as that would be un-honorable. Neither Hool nor the commander was very concerned that Solo was alone with the World Brain, and the Master Shaper believed that the dhuryam could defend itself if necessary. Anor, however, was near panicking, because he would be held responsible for the disaster that was occurring as they spoke.

Seeing Vergere motion for him to come to her, after neither Hool or the commander would authorize drastic measures to get past Rhysode, the Executor went angrily over to the Fosh. Brushing aside his attempts to involve her with the disaster at hand, Vergere told Anor that she should accompany him as he fled the consequences of the disaster in the World Well to defect to the New Republic. The Fosh even explained that she knew of Anor's secret coralcraft, and despite the agent initially denying the fact, Vergere convinced Anor that they had to leave immediately, even though Hool was watching Anor. This was because the Fosh claimed that Solo would soon steal the craft, and in doing so, foiling their own departure. The Executor was convinced by this, and led the feathered creature away to the coral side of the World Well, where, after checking that no one was looking, he opened a secret hatchway and he and Vergere descended into it.

The pair winded their way through a series of corridor, before reaching the wrecked area that was the offices of the Galactic Republic's Supreme Chancellor, where they found the coralcraft. Upon reaching the craft, Anor began to flaunt how he always had a contingency plan, but was stopped when Vergere questioned how many disasters he had considered, Turning, the agent found himself confronted by Verger holding Jacen's lightsaber, whose tip was inches from his face. Anor told Vergere that she could not possibly betray him, but the Fosh though otherwise, and she used the Force to make the tangled wreckage in the derelict office wrap Anor's limbs with knots, binding the agent to the spot. Despite Anor desperate insistence that only he could pilot the craft, Vergere responded with the fact that Solo, who was very good with animals, could most definitely fly the living ship by himself. Vergere left Anor, who was in disbelief at this turn of events, to go get Solo, after amiably telling the agent that she had told him that Solo would steal his ship.

Eventually, Vergere brought Solo, who had succeeded in his primary objective of talking to the World Brain, back to Anor's location. At first, the agent begged to be brought with them, declaring that they might as well be murdering him, as Lah would do the job himself. However, when this did not get him a spot on the Executor's personal coralcraft, Anor resorted to cursing both Vergere and Solo, who left shortly after in the craft; meanwhile, Rhysode fell in battle, but only after slaying numerous beasts and finally brining the ceiling of the corridor down to crush both him and the warriors he fought.

After a long breaking session involving the Embrace of Pain, Jacen pretended to embrace the Yuuzhan Vong way. However, with the help of the traitorous Vergere, he escaped to the Well of the World Brain, and Nom Anor led the forces to recapture him. However, Ganner Rhysode, in an amazing display of the Force and lightsaber combat, slew warrior after warrior. As always, Nom Anor had a contingency plan. He had bribed a shaper to seed a coralcraft in the late Palpatine's holding office. The craft was discovered by Vergere, and Nom Anor was forced to take the Fosh with him, hoping that would stop the New Republic from killing him on the spot, but Vergere had other plans. She threatened Nom Anor with Jacen's lightsaber and used the Force to tie the executor up with cables. As Ganner brought the ceiling down with the Force, Nom Anor, Ganner, and all the other warriors were buried under a pile of rubble, allowing Jacen and Vergere to escape in the coralcraft.

After Supreme Overlord Shimrra arrived on Yuuzhan'tar, Nom Anor donned an ooglith masquer and infiltrated a Shamed Ones Heresy group. While on his way back to the Damutek of the Intendants, he spotted Onimi, Shimrra's familiar, and followed him to a damutek housing Nen Yim's team, who had been tasked with filling the eight cortex. After learning that the cortex was supposed to have come from the Gods, Anor realized that Shimrra had no connection to the Gods. He quickly decided to put all his efforts into ending the war quickly. When he learned of the Final Redoubt, he brought the information to Shimrra. However, the Battle of Ebaq 9 was in truth a trap, and resulted in Tsavong Lah's death. Knowing that he would be sacrificed, Anor was forced to kill High Prefect Yoog Skell to escape into the Coruscant Underworld.

The Prophet
"Nom Anor is a consummate infidel. He thinks only of his own ambitions."

- Harrar

On the run from a wrathful Shimrra, Nom Anor came unto Vuurok I'pan and a group of Shamed Ones lead by Niiriit Esh who worshiped the Jedi. With I'pan's help, Anor went by the alias Ammorn to learn the Jeedai heresy in different underground groups. His group was eventually massacred by Warriors, but Anor was able to escape. With the help of Kunra, a Shamed Warrior, and Shoon-mi Esh, Niirit's brother, he claimed that he was Yu'shaa, meaning "the prophet" in Yuuzhan Vong, and preached salvation by following the Jeedai heresy and the living planet Zonama Sekot to the oppressed Yuuzhan Vong underclass. Always looking out for himself, he planned to use this planned insurrection of Shamed Ones as an excuse to overthrow Shimrra. His fame as Yu'Shaa had reached the ears of the Supreme Overlord and members of his heresy group had even infiltrated Shimrra's court. He even gained a spy in the form of Ngaaluh, a priestess of Yun-Harla, who accused multiple intendants of allowing the heresy to spread. Shimrra's reaction caused a wave of terror that Nom Anor could use to his advantage. However, after an assassination attempt by Shoon-mi, and Shimrra's discovery of Ngaaluh's actions, Anor began to have doubts about his plan.

As Yu'shaa, he then accompanied the Jedi Corran Horn and Tahiri Veila, the Yuuzhan Vong priest Harrar and Master Shaper Nen Yim to Zonama Sekot. While there, he changed his plans and decided to destroy the living planet. He contacted Shimrra and told him his plans in the hope that, if he could achieve his new goal, his previous failures would be forgiven. Pleased with what he heard, Shimrra told Nom Anor to go ahead with destroying the planet. Putting his plans into action, Nom Anor killed the heretic shaper Nen Yim, and pushed Harrar off a cliff. Unfortunately for Nom Anor, his plans failed, but he did manage to do a small amount of damage to Zonama Sekot. He was then forced to flee back to Yuuzhan'tar by Horn, Veila, and other Jedi. When he arrived, he was promoted to the position of Prefect of Yuuzhan'tar.



Escalation and demise
After his escalation&mdash;a surprising action that infuriated many other intendants&mdash;Shimrra began to develop a renewed interest in Nom Anor, something that High Prefect Drathul particularly resented. Drathul learned that the heretics were planning to disrupt a major sacrifice, and ordered Nom Anor to try and stop it. Nom Anor tried to dissuade the heretics from rebelling, but he could not stop them, as Kunra twisted his words. The movement he had helped create had taken a life of its own.

During the Galactic Alliance's assault on Yuuzhan'tar in 29 ABY, Shimrra placed him in charge of warriors tasked to destroy the heretics. Nom Anor once again took up the guise of Yu'Shaa and led the Shamed Ones in battle against the warriors, but only because he believed that Shimrra had gone insane, as well as to save himself from the wrath of Mara Jade Skywalker. After she caught up to him and defeated him, he informed her of a plan to infect Zonama Sekot with Alpha Red and assisted the Jedi and the Solos in locating Shimrra's Citadel, where Luke Skywalker, Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo were located.

After Shimrra and Onimi were defeated, he tried to kill all present by redirecting them into a waste disposal system. Jacen recognized what he was doing, and Nom Anor spat poison at him with the plaeryin bol, which Jacen instantly turned into water with the Force. He then attempted to board the escape pod, but Leia Organa Solo severed his left hand before he could. Stating that he had no place with either the Yuuzhan Vong or the Galactic Alliance, Nom Anor remained onboard Onimi's dying escape vessel above the planet, where he was killed once it had exploded above Coruscant.

Personality and traits
"Your specialty is propaganda and lies."

- Tsavong Lah

Nom Anor was ambitious, deceitful, and violent, but these traits were encouraged in Yuuzhan Vong society, and backstabbing was not only acceptable but praised if successful. Nom Anor himself believed that it was acceptable for his subordinates to possess traitorous thoughts but so long as they were loyal in the end.

But even by Yuuzhan Vong standards, Nom Anor was hardly ideal. While he denied being a coward, evidence consistently pointed out that Nom Anor greatly valued his own survival, a deplorable trait among the Yuuzhan Vong. His actions, taken to further his ambitions, were also extreme even by Yuuzhan Vong standards. Nom Anor also consistently blamed others for his failures instead of taking responsibility for them, a very un-Yuuzhan Vong-like trait.

But perhaps the most disturbing thing about Nom Anor&mdash;by Yuuzhan Vong standards&mdash;was his atheism. While the Yuuzhan Vong had committed atrocities for the glory of their gods, Nom Anor served only himself. He ultimately helped the Galactic Alliance in their struggle with the Yuuzhan Vong by helping to spread the Jeedai heresy and leading the rebellion of the Shamed Ones.

Behind the scenes
Nom Anor first appeared as a shadowy figure of an unknown species in Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood. Author Mike Richardson planned for exposition of his character to lead into a planned Dark Horse Comics invasion storyline. One aspect of the "original" Nom Anor was that he would not have been a humanoid creature. However, when Del Rey took over what would become the New Jedi Order, Nom Anor's backstory was changed to fit in with the new planned invasion arc.

Nom Anor was not originally intended to be in the New Jedi Order. However, when R. A. Salvatore began writing Vector Prime and his draft included a Yuuzhan Vong infiltrator who had long been stirring up trouble in the galaxy, Lucasfilm Ltd. decided to make it Anor.

After his "off-screen" death, many fans on the OS believed that Anor survived, with rumors that he would make a "sweeping return" in the Dark Nest Trilogy. While this has been proven untrue, many fans still believe that Anor survived and may still return some time in the Legacy era.

Nom Anor declined Corran Horn's challenge of a duel in Edge of Victory II: Rebirth, but Force Heretic I: Remnant and The Final Prophecy had both Nom Anor and Tahiri Veila remembering Nom Anor declining a challenge from Anakin Solo.
