Sekot Accords The Sekot Accords were the peace accords between the Galactic Alliance and the Yuuzhan Vong after the Battle of Yuuzhan ' tar . Background . After the death of Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane at the hands of Luke Skywalker , the Yuuzhan Vong were thrown into despair . Though Supreme Overlords were commonly killed ( as this was usually how a new leader ascended to the polyp throne ) , there was usually a pool of candidates from which a successor would come . However , Shimrra had ensured that there were no possible successors . Without an officially confirmed Overlord , the Yuuzhan Vong were essentially incapable of appealing to the gods . Thus , the Yuuzhan Vong were defeated , and Warmaster Nas Choka , the highest ranking survivor of the Elite , ordered the Yuuzhan Vong cease all combat , and either join him in surrender , or join Shimrra in honorable death . Without any protocols for surrender , the Yuuzhan Vong expected the Galactic Alliance to act how they would in such a situation : to execute all of them . There were many in the Galactic Alliance who were willing to do just that . The Bothans , who had declared ar ' krai against the Yuuzhan Vong , demanded that every Yuuzhan Vong be wiped out . Some groups suggested that they simply kill off the entire Warrior caste . Less militant factions suggested that they imprison the Yuuzhan Vong aboard their vessels , or simply send them back to the Void between the known galaxy and the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy . A solution soon presented itself in the form of Zonama Sekot . Sekot , the living intelligence of the planet , revealed that it was the seed of Yuuzhan ' tar , the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld destroyed during the Cremlevian War . Sekot asked that the Yuuzhan Vong be allowed to settle the planet , so that they could redefine their beliefs in peace . Terms of surrender . Chief of State Cal Omas , at the urging of Master Skywalker , agreed to convince the Galactic Alliance Senate to spare the Yuuzhan Vong , but under strong conditions . According to the terms of the surrender , the Yuuzhan Vong were to be completely demilitarized , and stripped of all their spacecraft , so that they could never again leave Zonama Sekot ' s atmosphere , while the Yuuzhan Vong fleet was sent into Coruscant Prime . The shapers were to help the Alliance in placating the World Brain of Yuuzhan ' tar so that the Alliance could start the reconstruction of Coruscant . The Ruling castes were to cease their persecution of the Shamed Ones , now renamed the Extolled , and abolish their caste systems . They were also required to cease their blood rituals and sacrificing sentient beings to their gods . Finally , Nas Choka was to recall all Yuuzhan Vong to the Coruscant system , where they would join the rest of the Yuuzhan Vong on Zonama Sekot . Though initially horrified at the concept of being placed in the care of Sekot — a planet they had spent the entire Battle of Coruscant trying to destroy — Nas Choka relented , as the Yuuzhan Vong were the defeated and had lost all their rights , at least in his mind . Choka fully implemented every term vigorously . Once the Yuuzhan Vong were all on the planet , Zonama Sekot went back to the Unknown Regions , so that the Yuuzhan Vong would be spared any other retaliation . While the peace managed to prevent a xenocide , there were many that were unhappy with the results . The Bothans openly refused to respect the accords , and the political fallout forced Admiral Traest Kre ' fey , who had led the Galactic Alliance fleet during the battle and been crowned the " Liberator of Coruscant " , to resign as Supreme Commander of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force . As of 35 ABY , Reh ' mwa , a Bothan fundamentalist , was still trying to continue the ar ' krai and locate Zonama Sekot in the Unknown Regions . However , their efforts were unsuccessful .
