Gorog The Dark Nest or Gorog was a secret nest of Killik s that was hidden from the rest of the Colony . It was also the most violent — it sought to use the rest of the nests against the Chiss after the Killiks absorbed the three Force - sensitives who escaped from Myrkr in 27 ABY during the Yuuzhan Vong War : Lomi Plo , Welk , and Raynar Thul . The first two were absorbed by the Dark Nest , Lomi became the Unseen Queen of the Gorog while Welk became the nest ' s Night Herald , thus giving Gorog its qualities of secrecy and manipulation ; while Raynar was absorbed by Yoggoy , eventually became UnuThul and forming Unu so that the rest of the Colony took on his attributes of respect for life . Organization and philosophy . This nest shared many of the characteristics that were absorbed from the Joiner Lomi Plo . The Dark Jedi ' s fear and desire to hide translated into the Yoggoy nest which had absorbed her into their hive - mind . As a result , the Dark Nest , known as Gorog , was created . This nest shared Lomi Plo ' s personality traits and desire to remain hidden from everyone else . Thus , members of the nest were noted for being very secretive and able to infiltrate other Killik nests . As a result , their social structure was believed to be quite different from other nests and had the potential to be numerous parasite cells hidden amongst other nests . Similar to the other nests , the Gorog had different breeds of Killiks such as Membrosia giver s that produced black Membrosia . These six tubular legged Killiks were watched over by a number of tiny attendant Gorogs . The Dark Nest ' s soldiers were bluish in color and they fought by finding a way to pierce the skin , then spit out a highly acidic brownish poison . Certain breeds of Gorog were also noted for being Force - sensitive and had the capacity to shield their presence in the Force . Notably , Gorog larva were known to be birthed in large hexagonal cells and actually fed on immobile captives that were brought into their chambers . History . This hidden nest started the Dark Nest Crisis in 35 ABY when it began subtly influencing the rest of the Colony to begin encroaching on Chiss space , even though the Killiks were not running out of room . Their motives , of course , were to provoke a war between the Killiks and the Chiss , thus providing motive for the Killiks to expand through the rest of the galaxy and bring all of the sentient beings under the influence of the hive mind — which would give Lomi Plo ultimate power . The Dark Nest was stopped in its plans by Luke Skywalker , Mara Jade Skywalker , Han Solo , and Leia Organa Solo . They tracked the Dark Nest to its hiding place on Kr , where they destroyed it — or so they thought . In actuality , the nest survived and continued manipulating the rest of the Colony , even after they moved to the Utegetu Nebula . Lomi convinced the Killiks to build fifteen nest ship s , massive vessels capable of carrying virtually all of the nests inside of them . This fleet met a task force of the Galactic Alliance Fifth Fleet at the Murgo Choke , where several of the nest ships escaped into the galaxy proper — unfortunately for the Dark Nest , the hyperdrive of their ship was damaged by Mara ' s Jedi shadow bomb and unable to leave . The Dark Nest stole the " Victory " - class Star Destroyer " Admiral Ackbar " and Lomi Plo nearly killed Luke in a battle with the nest which would lead to the Swarm War in 36 ABY . Although it was trapped in the Nebula during the war , the Dark Nest continued manipulating the Colony , directing them to stage coups on the homeworlds of most of the Galactic Alliance ' s insectoid species . Most of these attempts were foiled by the Jedi , although the Killiks were able to take over Thyferra , cutting off the galaxy ' s supply of bacta . The Jedi then went after the Dark Nest hive ship within the Nebula . Although they were successful in destroying the ship , some Jedi were lost , and Lomi Plo escaped after wounding Mara and Jacen Solo . The Dark Nest ' s influence was finally ended after the death of Lomi Plo and the supposed death of Alema Rar during the Battle of Tenupe . With the Dark Nest destroyed , Lumiya ' s Sith became the last surviving remnant of the Order of the Sith Lords in 36 ABY . During the Second Galactic Civil War in 40 ABY , it was discovered that the Gorog survived on in the Twi ' lek Dark Jedi Alema Rar , only to presumably perish completely when Alema was killed later that year by Jagged Fel , a former member of the Chiss , whom the Gorog pressured during the Dark Nest Crisis .
