Unidentified female Yuuzhan Vong Shaper This unidentified female Yuuzhan Vong Shaper appeared in the far reaches of the Argazdan Redoubt during the Kanz Disorders , several decades prior to 3970 BBY . Biography . Following the devastating Cremlevian War , the Yuuzhan Vong were forced to leave their uninhabitable galaxy and depart into the Intergalactic Void between the galaxies . In the hopes of discovering a new home , the Yuuzhan Vong dispatched scouts into the known galaxy around the time of the Old Sith Wars . This female Shaper was testing a new hyperdrive analog which would allow the Yuuzhan Vong ' s Koros - Strohna vessels to travel at light speed . However , her starship ' s drive analog malfunctioned , leaving her and her vessel trapped in stasis and lost in the far reaches of the Kanz sector for centuries . During the last decades of the Kanz Disorders , Argazdan Redoubt patrols discovered her and her asteroid - like starship . Argazdan scientists were able to revive the pilot , who had been frozen in stasis . During her time in custody , she revealed her origins and her expertise in " shaping " to her Argazdan captors . She became fluent in Argazdan , though her captors were unable to understand her original language . They were fascinated by the extra - galactic nature of her origins . Reflecting the Yuuzhan Vong ' s hatred of droids and technology , she refused to use any mechanical technology . Around 3670 BBY , the ruling Argazdan Regent Torphceris ' s grip over the Redoubt was threatened by the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic under the Lorrdian Jedi Master Mari - Elan Nora . In desperation , he betrayed his " beliefs " in Vianism by making a pact with the female Shaper . Due to her grotesque scars and tattoos , she was referred to among Argazdan and Lorrdian circles as the “ demon ” . Under her tutelage , Torphceris ordered the construction of massive pits on Lorrd through the use of Lorrdian slave labor . At the alien ' s insistence , the pits were constructed entirely by hand without the use of any technological implements , leading to the deaths of thousands of Lorrdian slaves . At the bottom of the pit , she created an amphibious “ living superweapon capable of living for millennia " . During the Final Battle of Lorrd , several Argazdans fled to the chambers within the slave pit and disappeared , presumably eaten by the monster . Several Jedi and Republic soldiers sent to apprehend them also disappeared . Master Nora sensed something evil in the Pits and ordered them filled and their existence played down in official documents . Following that incident , the female Shaper disappeared . Legacy . During the Republic Classic era , the Lorrdian playwright Pordi zet Chatc ' s described her role in the construction of the Slave Pits in his play " Torphceris " . In that play , she was portrayed as a villain while her Argazdan accomplices were depicted as cowards willing to surrender their beliefs for power . During the Galactic Civil War , Tash Arranda and her Lorrdian friend Kal zet Berri heard about her during a play at the Performance Square . Later , they ventured to the Slave Pits where they encountered the unscrupulous Doctor Raygar and the Imperial Agent Diamond who were interested in the “ living superweapon ” . During a brief confrontation at the bottom of the Pits , the belligerents encountered the monster which attempted to kill them . However , Raygar dispatched the beast with a thermal detonator ; allowing his foes to escape and also destroying any potential superweapon the Galactic Empire could have used against the Rebel Alliance .
