Gods or Deities
« on: November 26, 2009, 06:24:31 PM »
 Deities
The Yuuzhan Vong are devoutly religious and have many gods, citing their gods' desires as the reasons for their merciless conquering. It is said that the Yuuzhan Vong's affinity to their gods is nearly the same as the Jedi to The Force.

Yun-Yuuzhan
Yun-Yuuzhan, the Creator, is the most powerful deity of the Yuuzhan Vong religion. He sacrificed most of his body parts to create the lesser deities and the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy. Only the Supreme Overlord has direct contact with him.

Yun-Harla
Worshiped by members of the deception sect and impersonated by Jaina Solo, Yun-Harla is the Trickster. She is one of the most important deities among the Yuuzhan Vong and is prized by spies of the priestly deception sect. It is said that she stole knowledge from the Cosmic Lord and gave it to Yun-Ne'shel. She is considered a dangerous goddess as she can as easily bring ruin or fortune to her worshippers.

Her name is possibly derived from Harlequin.

 Yun-Yammka
Yun-Yammka is the Slayer and the god of war. He is worshipped by the warrior caste.

His image is that of a bulbous-headed, octopus-jellyfish hybrid, the inspiration for the Yammosk biot. Appealing to him often requires death sacrifices.

It was later learned from High Priest Harrar after the Yuuzhan Vong defeat that Yun-Yammka was a deity that the priest caste concocted as the Yuuzhan Vong became increasingly warlike early in their history.

His image is possibly derived from H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

Yun-Ne'Shel
Yun-Ne'Shel is the Modeller and oversees natural life cycles and is worshipped by the shaper caste.

 Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin (the lover gods)
Yun-Q'aah and Yun-Txiin are the lover gods and are twins, Q'aah female, Txiin male. They are the patrons of love and relationships, and are also the most capricious of gods, requiring no sacrifice. The Yuuzhan Vong have a particular fear for twins, revealed when they discover Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo are twins, as well as Jacen and Jaina Solo, Leia's older son and only daughter.

Yun-Shuno
Yun-Shuno has a thousand eyes and watches over and speaks for the Shamed Ones, who are shunned by every other Yuuzhan Vong caste and deity in the Empire
