Jeedai heresy The " Jeedai " heresy was a heretical movement that ultimately helped end the Yuuzhan Vong War . History . The heresy began on Yavin 4 , shortly after the Yuuzhan Vong had conquered the moon and driven the New Jedi Order off . Anakin Solo , trying to rescue Tahiri Veila , encountered Vua Rapuung , a former Warrior whose ex - lover , Mezhan Kwaad , had made him appear to be a Shamed One . Kwaad was also the one who was holding Tahiri . Anakin and Vua agreed to help each other against their common enemy . When the two finally confronted Kwaad , she admitted her role in Rapuung ' s shaming , and mortally wounded him , shortly before Tahiri decapitated her . Upon learning that the Jedi had redeemed Rapuung , other Shamed Ones began to believe that the Jedi could redeem " all " Shamed Ones . Despite efforts by Warmaster Tsavong Lah to suppress both news of Vua Rapuung incident and the " heresy " , the heresy continued to spread throughout Yuuzhan Vong space among the Shamed Ones and the lower - class workers and slaves . By the time Shimrra Jamaane , the Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong , arrived on Yuuzhan ' tar , the heretics were disorganized , and some groups had contradictory views of Rapuung ' s redemption . High Priest Jakan , head of the Priest caste , advocated that the heretics be hunted down and killed , but Shimrra decided that they would just try to give them a warning . Jakan , however , inadvertently defined some of their doctrine , when he said that Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo had no connection to Yun - Harla , the Trickster , and Yun - Yammka , the Slayer . Still , the groups remained contradictory . That all changed after the Battle of Ebaq , when Nom Anor was forced to flee Shimrra after the disaster caused the death of Warmaster Tsavong Lah . Anor , realizing that this could be the way that he could dethrone Shimrra , assumed the guise of Yu ' shaa , the Prophet , and began forming their doctrine for them . Yu ' shaa said that the Force was the remaining exaltations of Yun - Yuuzhan , the Creator God of the Yuuzhan Vong , who had died when he created the Universe . Anor later gained an ally in Ngaaluh , a priestess of Yun - Harla , who had heard about the heresy and believed it to be the Truth . Ngaaluh became Anor ' s spy in Shimrra ' s Citadel , bringing false accusations against Anor ' s rivals in the intendant caste , in the hope that it would remove Shimrra ' s most competent prefect s . After a few weeks , Shimrra realized her treachery and ordered her to be interrogated , but Ngaaluh committed suicide . Deprived of his spy and with the number of converts dropping , Yu ' shaa proclaimed the planet Zonama Sekot to be the home of the Jedi and a new home for the Shamed Ones . When Anor learned of Zonama Sekot and visited it , he offered to destroy it for Shimrra , if he would reward him . Anor ' s sabotage of Zonama Sekot failed . Despite the disappearance of Yu ' shaa , the heresy had taken a life of its own . When Zonama Sekot appeared in the skies of Coruscant , the heretics believed that their redemption was at hand , and rebelled against Shimrra and the Elite . The chaos they caused was vital to the Galactic Alliance during the Battle of Yuuzhan ' tar . After the battle , the Shamed Ones were renamed the Extolled , and finally gained the equality that they had sought , on Zonama Sekot .
