Talk:Yuuzhan Vong War

I have just started work on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion article but I don't have enough sources to make it interesting. This job is too difficult to do on my own. Can somebody please expand this article ? 219.93.174.105

Invasion vs. War
Shouldn't this be Yuuzhan Vong War? --Imp 08:55, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Good question. That would be a logical term, but I think that we'll get an idea of what they're calling it post-invasion in the Dark Nest trilogy. --SparqMan 16:34, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Most articles refer to it as an invasion, and on a mass scale I find this as one big extermination, rather than a War. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:36, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * This WOC article refers to it as the Yuuzhan Vong War:
 * In the aftermath of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Kyle Katarn went searching for clues about the Sith. He has yet to return. In response, Jan Ors and Jedi Master Mara Jade Skywalker have put together a crack team of heroes consisting of Alpha Blue agents and Jedi Knights to find Kyle. --Imp 09:49, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)

In the Dark Nest trilogy, they seem to refer to it as the war with the Yuuzhan Vong, so it would appear that the Yuuzhan Vong War is the more common term. And Riffsyphon, all wars are mass exterminations. -- SFH 16:01, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I also agree that this should be titled Yuuzhan Vong War instead of Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:31, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * If there are no other objections, I will move it by the end of the day. -- SFH 18:41, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 18:47, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * This page has been moved to the Yuuzhan Vong War. -- SFH 04:12, 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you again. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:18, 24 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Population
How many Yuuzhan Vong were there during the invasion? Supreme Overlord Shimrra once remarked that a third of the entire Warrior Caste had been killed prior to the Fall of Coruscant. How many died? Well, the Star Wars galaxy on the other side lost 365 trillion people.

About Canderous's encounter
I haven't actually played KOTOR myself, but assuming that was a coralskipper, what was it doing in the galaxy four millennia early? How could it possibly get that far ahead of the main fleet, or did the Vong decide to just wait around outside the Rim for 4000 years?Thanos6 00:13, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, how do we know that the coralskipper was piloted by a Vong? Maybe Yuuzhan'tar sent it as a scout ship to locate a possible safe haven for what would become Zonama Sekot? -- SFH 01:19, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd say that the Vong sent ahead a scout ship, possibly similar to your theory, SFH. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 11:49, 30 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * My guess? Screw up. The REALLY FRIGGING HUGE travel time means that even a slight miscalculation would have dropped a ship, or several, there thousands of years early
 * Well, maybe the Vong were that extragalactic threat Traya was talking about, and Revan went there to eliminate it. Obviously, the invasion was only delayed, but at least for quite some time. Tulon 18:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Images?
This article definitely needs a nice big pic on top. I really like [[media:Vongtakecoruscant.jpg|this one]], but there seems to be some disagreement. If anyone has a suggestion, I can probably track down just about any pic that's been put out there. - CooperTFN Say, can someone please tell me where the images with the troopers and the X-Wings are from? They seem to be out of the same book, but there's no source given. Tulon 18:00, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it's a little too big. Plus, you can barely tell that those are Vong on the picture. At first glance, I thought they were Zabrak. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:07, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Seeing as that's fanart, we can't use it. There's a good pic of Coruscant burning from the NJO Sourcebook - there's also a pic of the Battle of Dantooine in there that could be used as a secondary image - Kwenn
 * That Coruscant pic is the one that's already being used on the page for that battle, isn't it? I would've thought fan art would be preferable for something like this given copyright issues. I'll take a look through the Sourcebook stuff. - CooperTFN
 * Why would we use fanart here anyway? Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:12, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * A good pic is a good pic, isn't it? But hey; I'm new to this. I defer to your judgement. - CooperTFN
 * Here's another from the Sourcebook. Nice, but I dunno if it really ancapsulates the entire war. There's also this one by LFL artist Matt Busch. - Coop
 * Okay, the first one has nothing to do with the war despite that they were all participants, and the second one only involves one battle. Now, I think that we shouldn't really even have a picture on this page. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:58, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * What about the New Essential Chronology pic of Luke vs. Shimrra? Thanos6 06:31, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, when you have a large war, only one picture won't do. You'd probably have to have a picture for most of the major events during the war. Just that picture alone really isn't describing the war as a whole. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:51, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * No point in trying really. If you find a good pic, add it in a place that seems appropriate, and if someone really dislikes it, they can take it down.
 * How about the image of the Battle of Dantooine as a start? It really seems to represent the chaos of the War to me. -- SFH 16:59, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * IIRC from old discussion, it's preferable to use "canon artwork", but where none is available, copyright-free fan art can be used. --SparqMan 17:13, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That picture of Dantooine is from the New Jedi Order Sourcebook, or so the image says. -- SFH 17:17, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I think they are from a Sourcebook, but I'm not sure exactly from which one. Snoop 12:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Could someone please tell me the source of these 2 images?

New "Rebel Alliance"
I'd like to see some discussion of the shift in tactics used by the NR, the introduction of the "new" Alliance", etc. --SparqMan 08:30, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * "New Rebel Alliance"? What do you mean by that? Admiral J. Nebulax 12:40, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe SparqMan is refering to the Insiders, the group that was formed during the Enemy Lines Duology. Or he might be refering to the Galactic Alliance. I admittedly have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to the NJO, and my area of expertise is Destiny's Way and everything after that. -- SFH 20:02, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh. I myself only read the first three books of the series. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:11, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Top Heavy
The article seems really top heavy, getting into the origins in great detail and ignoring the meat of the war. People who have read the later books need to step up and add something, fleshing it out.

Other references
There's already lists of devestated planets, battles, and characters (which by the way I had to add to obscenely). How about a ship list, links to lists of technology, etc?
 * If others think there's a need to it. The only thing I see really necissary is the list of battles. Admiral J. Nebulax 13:22, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Devastated Planets
Should Duro really be on there? It was actually made habitable again. I'd say the orbiting cities were devastated, and thats where all of the inhabitants actually lived. Aside from those who worked at the plants on the surface and later the refugees, of course. S W Is For Life 00:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

SW killers
The Yuuzhan Vong destroyed Star Wars.......
