First Battle of Zonama Sekot

The First Battle of Zonama Sekot was a protracted siege against the living planet Zonama Sekot by the Yuuzhan Vong, whom the Ferroan and Langhesi settlers on Zonama termed "Far-Outsiders.

The Vong had been travelling through deep space ever since their home galaxy had been destroyed. When they discovered Zonama Sekot, they deemed it similar to their own living homeworld, Yuuzhan'tar. However, when the Vong attempted to settle, Zonama Sekot's biosphere killed off the Vong flora and fauna, provoking outrage from them. Although Sekot attempted to negotiate with them, they began an assault upon the planet.

After several years, the Jedi Council recieved word of the attack, and sent Jedi Knight Vergere to investigate. When she arrived, she discovered the true nature of the Far-Outsiders - who considered her powers amazing. Concealing her Jedi identity, Vergere managed to get the Vong to agree to halt their attack on Zonama, in exchange for travelling with them. Both Vergere and the Far-Outsiders retreated back into the Unknown Regions.

The damage done to Sekot was immense, especially on the planet's southern hemisphere, where huge gashes were still apparent six decades later.
