Uunu Uunu was a Yuuzhan Vong female Shamed One who was alive in 26 ABY , when the Yuuzhan Vong were invading a galaxy other than their own . Still young at the time of the war , Uunu served as a field hand working with lambent s on the captured moon of Yavin 4 , and it was there that she was assigned to be the overseer of the slave Bail Lars , who was actually the Jedi Knight Anakin Solo in disguise . During their time together , which ended when Lars left to rescue his friend Tahiri Veila from the Yuuzhan Vong forces on Yavin 4 , Uunu and Lars talked of many things , varying from the nature of the Yuuzhan Vong to the ideals of the New Jedi Order . Biography . A Yuuzhan Vong female , Uunu grew up on one of the poorer and more cramped Koros - Strohna , a type of worldship that the Yuuzhan Vong employed , as the species traveled from their galaxy to another one in order to wage war upon its inhabitants . At some point in her life , Uunu became one of the Shamed Ones , meaning that her body would not accept alterations that would further her status , and because of this , she was given hard labor as a job . In 26 ABY , a young Uunu was one of the many Shamed Ones and Yuuzhan Vong ' s slaves who were taken to the moon of Yavin 4 after it was captured from the New Jedi Order , the members of whom her people knew as the " Jeedai " ; and the New Republic . While on Yavin 4 , Uunu was assigned to work in the fields growing lambent s , which were crystals that the Yuuzhan Vong used for various tasks . It was also there that Uunu realized that the Yuuzhan Vong warrior Vasi had an attraction to her . However , although he could technically command her because of her lower rank , Uunu knew that Vasi wanted her to come to him , because she would make Vasi kill her if the warrior commanded Uunu to do anything . One day , while Uunu was working the fields , Vasi assigned her a Human slave by the name of Bail Lars , whom the Shamed One Vua Rapuung had brought to the fields , after Vasi saw the slave faint in pain . Although Lars was supposed to help her fill her quota of lambents , Vasi gave Uunu the slave to hinder rather than help her . Uunu taught Lars , who was actually the Jedi Knight Anakin Solo in disguise , how to tend to the lambents . While she attuned the blossoms of the lambents by stroking them , Lars harvested the ones that already had been attuned . By the end of the first day , Lars had fallen quite behind Uunu . At some point in time , Uunu voiced her fears that Lars was a Jedi to the warriors , as he did not act as a slave should , and because of this , they watched the pair closely . The next day , while it was still dark , Uunu picked up Lars from the slave houses and showed him how the lambents could be used to produce luminescence , and explained how they worked . During the six hours of work that followed thereafter , in which they did not stop for rest , Uunu warmed up to the slave during their conversations about the Yuuzhan Vong and the galaxy , although her people considered Lars an infidel . At lunch , she broached the question about Lars being a Jedi , and after the slave lied that he was not , the pair discussed the New Jedi Order . It was during this chat that Uunu became more inclined towards the ideals of the Jedi . Solo left Uunu silently that night , and after fixing his lightsaber with a lambent crystal using the knowledge Uunu had taught him , went on to rescue his Human Jedi friend Tahiri Veila , who had been captured by the Yuuzhan Vong – affiliated Peace Brigade group on Yavin 4 and was being held by the Yuuzhan Vong shapers . Shortly thereafter , Solo , along with forces under the command of the smuggler Talon Karrde , as well as several Jedi Knights , destroyed the Yuuzhan Vong military forces and landed to free the slaves on Yavin 4 . However , after the Jedi – smuggler strike , Warmaster Tsavong Lah had many of the Shamed Ones on the moon killed , because the " Jeedai " heresy was created there . The " Jeedai " heresy was a belief among Shamed Ones that the Jedi would rescue them because the Jedi Solo had redeemed Rapuung , who then died defending that same Jedi . Personality and traits . As a Shamed One , Uunu ' s body did not accept the alterations that would allow her to rise in rank and signify her dedication to the gods of her people . At the time of her meeting with Bail Lars , Uunu had no obvious scars and appeared deeply worn , though her eyes were brighter than those of most of the other Shamed Ones . Because she lived on a cramped worldship when she was young , Uunu wondered at the size of the galaxy that they inhabited , and how there was so much space . As with the majority of Yuuzhan Vong society , after they invaded the other galaxy , she viewed the machinery that the galaxy ' s inhabitants used as abominations . Because she believed in the will of the gods , she was also of the belief that the Yuuzhan Vong were taking the right path in attacking the galaxy . Yet although most Yuuzhan Vong had only contempt for the people whom they were engaging in war , which they called infidels , Uunu warmed up to Lars during their time together . Though she did warn him to watch his tongue when they discussed important matters concerning her people and his , she was much more open to him than most Yuuzhan Vong . Additionally , she did not despise the Jedi and questioned Lars on the nature of the Jedi , and whether they would be concerned with the plight of the Shamed Ones . Uunu believed that she was from birth born a Shamed One , but continued to hope that some deed of hers , such as potentially turning Lars over to the warriors if in fact he was a Jedi , would increase her favor before the gods and benefit her rank . Uunu considered Vasi sick , because unlike other Yuuzhan Vong warriors , he was attracted to Shamed Ones , over whom he was in a position of power . However , Vasi did not command Uunu because she would make him kill her if he did so . Additionally , although Vua Rapuung thought he was not a Shamed One , she believed that he was indeed one . Behind the scenes . Uunu first appeared in " " , a novel by Gregory Keyes that was released in 2001 as part of " " series . She was later mentioned in 2002 ' s " The New Jedi Order Sourcebook " by J . D . Wiker and Steve Miller , as well as in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , released in 2008 . It is unclear whether Uunu dies in the purge of the Shamed Ones on Yavin 4 after Tsavong Lah orders it .
