The Ur-Yuuzhan Vong were a extra-galactic sentient, species from Yuuzhan'tar in a distant galaxy. Ur-Yuuzhan Yong lived as symbiotes with their homeworld and the species as a whole. Ur-Yuuzhan Yong were the ancestral species of the Yuuzhan Vong, which they devolved into after they were cut off from the Force.
History[]
The name was given to the species from which the modern Yuuzhan Vong evolved from and were the early beings that were completely connected to the Force. The Ur-Yuuzhan Vong lived in symbiosis with one another and the species as a whole.[1]
However, when the Ur-Yuuzhan Vong became too proud of their individual accomplishments, their homeworld punished the species, it maimed them so that they were suddenly cut off from the Force, because of their desire to escalate, after which they turned to violence. Modern Yuuzhan Vong religion attributed this to their deities namely Yun-Yuuzhan and that he had sacrificed his body to create the Yuuzhan Vong. Thus it was the gods and was not the Force that created them.[1]
In time, their religion became so twisted that they believed that the only way to return to their gods was further escalate themselves, resulting in their devotion to pain, sacrifice and death. Pain was prized, since the torturous agony of their bodies being altered to be outside the Force was the one thing that the Yuuzhan Vong could remember of the long-lost time.[1]
