Talk:Yuuzhan Vong

Disassembly
Shouldn't the weapons and ships be separated from this page now? -- Riffsyphon1024 20:28, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

History Section
I rewrote the History Section because most of the information was incorrect.-- 222.153.26.66 16:05, April 23

Hyperspace
If all the Yuuzhan Vong craft were organic, how did they ever achieve lightspeed with them? --Fade 17:03, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "Superluminal transit" was the Vong's organic hyperdrive method. Mentioned in Agents of Chaos: Jedi Eclipse.--SparqMan 17:15, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That just sounds like another way of saying lightspeed *blinks*. I dunno, maybe they used giant fleas and got them to jump or something.

Disclaimer: I know very little about the Yuuzhan Vong --Fade 17:20, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * They used dovin basals to literally PULL a vessel through hyperspace, which they refered to as darkspace. -- SFH 21:37, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't there be an article on darkspace, then? Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:40, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Just wrote it. -- SFH 21:49, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:50, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Humanoid
Are the Yuuzhan Vong related to Humans? They resemble Humans though they are taller and heavier and also have less hair on their head. Yet, they come from another galaxy. Could humans have colonised galaxies in the distant past long before the Old Republic? That is what it says on Curtis Saxton's Star Wars Technical Commentaries. 222.152.239.165 suppose they should be but the sloped forehead and eccentricniss (don't another word for it)kinda sets them apart--Rossdaboss99 13:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, they could be considered near-human. Neomessiah 12:02, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Symbol
Don't the Yuuzhan Vong have a symbol? I saw the symbol in The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels and on the cover of Vector Prime. It resembles an insect with a symbol in the middle. This symbol can't be found on the Internet. 222.152.239.165
 * Well, I know the Vong have a symbol thanks to the Miniatures set. There has to be a high res version if it floating around somewhere...TIEPilot051999 05:27, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Paper
What did the Yuuzzies use for paper? I'm calling them Yuuzzies on talk pages now. -- SFH 00:55, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Paper? Why does it matter? Cmdr. J. Nebulax 21:03, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Just wondering. The Intendant caste had to use something to keep track of their orders and requesitions. -- SFH 21:35, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Skin of some kind most likely. Everything they have is organic, and not just floral organic. They like their stuff juicy and ripe with organs don'tcha know. --TheLIGHTSABERwieldingNERFHERDER 05:31, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * My guess would be they kept track of things with specialized villips, but that's just a guess. jSarek 07:15, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Nen Yim used something (I think it was called a qahsa (sp?) ) as sort of a diary/log when she was on Zonama Sekot. I don't know (or remember) if they are exclusive to Shapers, however. StarNeptune 07:20, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Qahsas were used as organic memory banks, so that might be it. -- SFH 15:22, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * So that's what they use for paper. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:25, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * It's also pretty nonspecific. Ships have shipbrains, qahsas are like datapads, and buildings probably have brains too--Erl

Vong in Outboud Flight
Palpatine ordered the Outbound Flight to be destroyed just to keep the knowledge of the Vong away from the Galaxy? Oh my God, it has finally happened...The entire Bantam EU has been retconned as prelude to the NJO! Next thing you know, they'll be saying that Palpatine formed the Empire just to stop the Vong. -- SFH 21:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow... I hope not. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe my initial reaction was a little alarmist, but I have my reasons. They maybe on a scale of McEwok (no offense), but it is distrubing. While Splinter of the Minds Eye was technically the beginning of the EU, nobody really cared about it until the Thrawn Trilogy. By retconning into Thrawn's origin the Yuuzhan Vong as being a reason he attacked the Outbound Flight, they essentially lay claim to being responsible for the Thrawn Trilogy, and by proxy, the EU. It's crazy and deluded, I know, but I can only ask this: when trying to emphasize the terrors of the Unknown Regions, why did they pick an extragalactic species? -- SFH 00:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's wierd. At least some species from inside the Galaxy, even if this species was unknown. Admiral J. Nebulax 01:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It bugged me some too, but then I remembered that Palps, good old Palps, is a cheating, lying, scheming bastard. He told Thrawn he wanted to defend against the Vong, and Thrawn may have even believed him, but it's beside the point. Palps didn't care about the Vong at all, and Thrawn's desire to defeat the Vong is a long-term goal: weakened by time, and routine, and service to the Empire. It's little more than a contingency plan by the Thrawn Trilogy--Erl 02:26, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Not the only known life originated outside the Galaxy?
I mean Kwa came to the Star Wars galaxy long before even the first Yuuzhan Vong scout ship came possilibly at about 4000BBY at time of the Mandalorian War. Right? -Darth Tader

Similar to other races
Has anyone noticed that the Yuuzhan Vong bear a strong similarity to the Ssi-Ruuk and the Charon. The Ssi-Ruuvi caste system almost mirrors the Yuuzhan Vong's caste, and they are similar to the Charon in that they use organic technology, are extragalactic (though the Charon are from another dimension) and the obssession with death. Blaine Harris actually noted the Ssi-Ruuk/Yuuzhan Vong similarity. Should we put that in a "Behind the scenes" section? -- SFH 02:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely mention that in BTS, if nowhere else. &mdash; Silly Dan 02:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't forget the Yevetha and the similarity of worshipping the leader as a god, as well as tendency to fight to the death even if they can't win. Thanos6 02:30, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I remember thinking when I was reading Vector Prime that "they SO should have made these guys the Charon." jSarek 02:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Isn't there another unknown extragalactic race from the Marvel Star Wars comics? I seem to remember it from the old Essential Chronology. Anyone remember? — SavageBob 19:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Game
With all this cool weaponry and stuff wouldn't it be cool if they had thier own game???????????--Rossdaboss99 19:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It would be fun to shoot at them, I must admit. Get some of that aggression over Vector Prime out my system. -- SFH 19:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
