The Geroons were a species enslaved by the Vagaari. Their home planet was conquered in a large battle in which the Vagaari made use of a gravity well projector.
After the Jedi aboard Outbound Flight used the Force to disable the Vagaari in 27 BBY, the Geroons and their homeworld were subsequently freed by Chiss forces led by Admiral Ar'alani.
In 22 ABY, not long before the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the Vagaari survivors disguised themselves as their former slaves so that they could penetrate the Redoubt and exact their revenge on the Chiss Ascendancy and the remnants of the Galactic Republic's Outbound Flight Project. Since the Vagaari had not been seen ever since their defeat in 27 BBY, they were able to masquerade as peaceful Geroons and deceive the Chiss.
With their Paskla-class cruiser disguised as a refugee ship, they claimed to be refugees whose homeworld had been destroyed by the Vagaari. The "Geroons" then joined the expedition to the Redoubt with the Chiss, the Empire of the Hand, Dean Jinzler, and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker. Shortly after their arrival, they tried to destroy the survivors of the Outbound Flight and the Chiss, though their plans eventually failed.
Behind the scenes
After the fall of the Galactic Empire the historian Arhul Hextrophon asserted a comprehensive theory on the origin of life in the galaxy. In his opus magnum, Hextrophon believed that the Geroon species was ancient and among the first species to emerge in the galaxy. However, some of Geroon were abducted by the Force entity Cold Danda Sine, who performed perverse experiments on his prisoners. Emerging as violent abominations, the Vagaari would go on the play a part in the Twilight Wars.[1]
