Aftermath – Part 16 – Yuuzhan Vong Preparations and The Discovery
+20 Years after Endor
Preparations for War
On the distant world Rhommamool, the invaders, through Nom Anor, disguised as the leader of the Red Knights of Life, stirred up rebellion between Rhommamool and its neighbour Osarian to distract the New Republic from its more important attacks. Once war had been reached between the two worlds, Nom Anor faked his own death. This allowed him to move on, as well as escalating the conflict and diverting the Republic's attention from the true target.
On Belkadan on the edge of the galaxy, a team of scientists from ExGal-4 are charting the abyss for extra-galactic life. Finally they discovered an asteroid heading for the nearby Helska system. Yuuzhan Vong agent Yomin Carr began killing many of the ExGal-4 workers, save the few that went to Helska 4 to investigate the extragalactic object that had landed there. He also unleashed deadly toxins into the atmosphere, making it virtually uninhabitable, and killing all local wildlife.
The extra-galactic object, a Praetorite Vong worldship commanded by Prefect Da’Gara touched down on the icy and unknown planet Helska 4, where they unloaded a massive, tentacle creature known as a yammosk, or “war coordinator”.
Da’Gara’s worldship is also noticed by the “Dozen and Two Avengers”, a Republic starfighter squadron led by Kyp Durron. The Avengers and the ExGal team arrived in the Helska system, only to be ambushed by a group of coralskippers, killing all but Durron, Miko Reglia and Danni Quee. Kyp Durron managed to escape; Reglia, an Avenger, was captured, as was Danni Quee, an ExGal scientist. Reglia was tortured strenuously by the yammosk, but the Yuuzhan Vong spared Quee this, seeing her fit to die a honourable death.
While the initial attacks by the Yuuzhan Vong where going on they where being observed by reconnaissance stealth ships of the Shadow Empire Command, using the new clocking technology. These reconnaissance stealth ships are designed for stealth and speed and not for combat and they are very good at their job as Nom Anor is unaware of their surveillance operations.
Nom Anor has many informants and spies within the New Republic to keep him informed of any discoveries that the New Republic’s intelligence services makes. As the New Republic’s intelligence services are unaware of the existence of the Shadow Empire Command (or even the Hand of Thrawn), all that Nom Anor is aware of are the “myths and legends” surrounding the Unknown Regions as has ignored them (just as the New Republic has).
The Yuuzhan Vong used their yammosk to coordinate an attack on Sernpidal, using the ancient Yo’gand’s Core tactic to crash the planet's moon Dobido into the surface. They discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong had planted a gravity-manipulating dovin basal east of Sernpidal City to draw its smallest moon toward the planet. The mayor sacrificed himself to kill the creature but this was too late to stop the moon from plummeting from the sky.
Han, Chewbacca and Anakin managed to save many civilians, but while rescuing a small child, Anakin was knocked from the ship by some debris. Chewbacca rescued him and hauled him back into the ship before he was separated from the others. Anakin made the decision to fly away in order to save the others as the moon crashed down, killing Chewbacca.
Leia Organa Solo, unable to fully convince Chief of State Borsk Fey’lya of the threat the Yuuzhan Vong posed, was only able to amass one Star Destroyer. The Rejuvenator the Rejuvenator arrived with her small task force, consisting of a dozen of warships, including a number of smaller cruisers, six Ranger class gunships, cargo support, and even a crew transport for the attack on Helska 4.
The small Republic task force went forward and attacked the Helska system, and though Jacen Solo rescues Danni Quee during the fighting, the Rejuvenator is destroyed, and what few ships the small Republic task force had left had to retreat and regrouped, as all the remaining warships had suffered various forms of battle damage.
Once the New Republic realised the danger, the New Republic’s military forces began to mobilise slowly as Chief of State Borsk Fey’lya did not want an all out war against the Yuuzhan Vong. So Chief of State Borsk Fey’lya tried to negotiate with the Yuuzhan Vong, this strategy would prove to be ultimately futile for both Chief of State Borsk Fey’lya and the New Republic.
Over the next two years system after system fell to the Yuuzhan Vong fleets, but the Yuuzhan Vong did not attack any Imperial controlled system or world and deliberately went out of there way to avoid contact with any Imperil military forces from either the Imperial Remnant of the Imperial forces of the Calon sector and there allies. This would prove to be an effective strategy as both Imperial forces had peace treaties or cease fire agreements with the New Republic, but the New Republic did not have a defence agreement with these Imperials, so these Imperial forces would watch from the sidelines, which suited the Yuuzhan Vong.
+22 Years after Endor, Fall of Coruscant
After two years of combat the Yuuzhan Vong are finally ready to attack the Galactic capital of Coruscant. After a preliminary assault on Reecee, the Yuuzhan Vong is ready to make their move. The Yuuzhan Vong fleet emerged above Coruscant, with the defensive minefields around Coruscant very doing little damage. The attackers used refugee ships to bombard the planetary shield until it collapsed then attacked the planet’s surface.
The Republic commanders struggled against the onslaught, unwilling to fire on the refugee ships eventually General Garm Bel Iblis did so, causing conflict with the other commanders and weakening Coruscant’s defences. Chief of State Borsk Fey’lya realising what damage he had done confronted Tsavong Lah’s subordinate Commander Romm Zqar, detonating a bomb that killed himself, along with twenty-five thousand Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and destroyed much of the Imperial Palace including the records archive of the New Republic, thus denying this information to the Yuuzhan Vong.
Meanwhile on Wayland…….
The much-reduced New Republic archaeological unit on Wayland that had been going through for former Imperial base at Mount Tantiss for any information that might have survived its destruction, has been ordered to evacuate the planet as a Yuuzhan Vong fleet has been spotted heading towards Wayland. A young archaeologist name Matt Turner has made a discovery of over fifty data cards in the same location that the data cards holding the information on the Caamas Document and the Hand of Thrawn.
Unfortunately, the evacuation order had not given Matt Turner time to examine these data cards in his personnel data card reader. So instead of taking his personnel belongings he decided to take the data cards and his reader and only a small number of personnel items, this would prove to be the best decision of his life and the most shocking discovery of his life as well.
But for now Matt Turner and his backpack containing the fifty data cards are inside a Noghri scout ship headed away from Wayland, just making it to hyperspace before the arrival of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet. As the Noghri scout ship had made a hurried exit the Noghri scout ship had to go into hyperspace very close to the planets gravity well and this had caused damage to the Noghri scout ships primary and back-up hyperdrives.
The Noghri Captain of the scout ship says that the hyperdrives can be repaired but this will take time to do, probably several weeks maybe longer depending on the level of damage, the Noghri scout ship will be drifting in the space between systems until the hyperdrives can be repaired by the Noghri. As Matt Turner has no knowledge of how to repair a hyperdrive he starts to catalogue the data cards via is personnel data card reader over the next few weeks, while keeping out of the way of the Noghri.
The only time they are all together is during meals, it is during these meals that Matt Turner explains what an archaeologist does, at first the Noghri do not understand, but when Matt Turner that he is tracking the past. This is something the Noghri understand and they start to take a real interest in Matt Turner’s talks about the data cards that he is cataloguing.
Over the past few weeks Matt Turner has manage to catalogue twenty-nine of the fifty-three data cards, the twenty-nine catalogued data cards are all from the Old Republic, mostly speeches from Old Republic’s senate. As he loads data card number thirty Matt Turner notes that the surface of this data card does not contain any writing on the contents as the other twenty-nine data cards did.
As Matt Turner inserts the unmarked data card into the reader the first image to come on to the screen is an Imperial logo along with a date that indicates that this data card comes from three months prior to the battle of Endor. As Matt Turner turns to the next page with the usual warning that any unauthorized access to this information will be subject to the death penalty.
The next page contains a summery that after reading it makes Matt Turner start to shake with fear, the summary says they following.

As Matt Turner finishes reading the data card he is shaking with fear. As he thinks of the events since the battle of Endor everything that Zerik Hammond has done has been to keep the Calon sector safe from attack, it is like a curtain has been opened and Matt Turner can see the whole picture and this scares him.
What this data card does not reveal is that Grand Admiral Zerik Hammond has taken over Grand Admiral Thrawns Unknown Regions command and added Grand Admiral Thrawn’s command to his own Shadow Empire Command, also this data card does not reveal any of the events post Endor, but what it does reveal makes Matt Turner very frightened. As an Imperial Grand Admiral would be a useful ally against the Yuuzhan Vong right now.
After a few minutes calming himself down he goes to see the Noghri Captain of the scout ship and shows him the data card and asks that he is taken to see Princess Leia to show her the information as soon as the scout ship has been repaired. The Noghri Captain on reading the information on the data card agrees and says the Princess Leia is currently in the Bastion system trying to get the Imperial Remnant to rejoin the war against the Yuuzhan Vong.
Once Matt Turner has finished informing the Noghri Captain, he goes back to his quarters to see if any of the remaining data cards are the ones containing information on the disposition of the force/resources of the Shadow Empire Command, but this search proves to be futile as none of the other data cards contain this information.
But events will overtake this action while the Noghri scout ship is being repaired Fleet Admiral Pellaeon has agreed to help the New Republic against the Yuuzhan Vong, by launching an attack on the Yuuzhan Vong forces.
This action by Fleet Admiral Pellaeon will bring the Shadow Empire Command into battle against the Yuuzhan Vong and change the course of the war and the course of history.
