Breaking

The Breaking was a term used by the Yuuzhan Vong and was a torture technique they employed against captives.

Overview
This form of torture involved the use of mental torment instead of physical one in order to subdue the prisoner before obtaining useful information from them. The captive's senses and determination were slowly broken by constant verbal degradation until the victim was mentally broken to the point that they were incapable of functioning anymore. These broken individuals tended to sob like children and were not able to make rational thoughts

It was common for the Yuuzhan Vong to bombard their prisoner with images of the expected horrors they were to face and their terrible deaths.
