Second Vong War

The Second Vong War was a conflict spanning one and a half years of Galactic history, from 147 ABY to 148 ABY. It was a direct result of the dark side wielding Nairę Vastila committing a terrorist attack on the Galactic Senate, followed by her unleashing an army of Yuuzhan Vong and dark-side zealots onto the greater Galaxy.

In the years leading up to 146 ABY - there was a prominent force using cult in the Galaxy, alongside the newly majority government of the New Galactic Empire. And from this cult, named Febrayasis for its adherence to the teachings of the living and definitive force and its embrace of the Four Sages of Dwartii, spawned a woman of dark side intent.

These particular dark siders are referred to in texts as Vasalians, fallen from the study of Febrayasis.

They were rumoured to have roots in the true Sith, but most scholars believe that it is truly just they become malevolent as they twist the living Force. They are impulsive, scheming, but more importantly, bent on destruction. They are unlike Sith who have a goal in mind - their goal is simply chaos.

This particular woman had the name of Nairę Vastila. She was particularly dangerous as she had been slighted, her former friend distancing as she became darker and darker. Such was her drive for destruction that her assassins planted a bomb in the Galactic Senate, killing the then Emperor of the New Galactic Empire and wounding many of the others present. It was here that Kara Volshe took his place, and the Schism of the Imperial Jedi - the Knights - occurred, with the once staunchly loyal forces dividing between two parties they each had many reasons to suspect. There were those that were loyal to the throne…and those that were loyal to the cause.

It was quickly revealed that while the Federation and Empire suspected each other, it was neither party. Instead, it was a force no one suspected. Vong once slighted and spiteful after the sabotaged Ossus Project, and even as descendants of the invasion force led by Onimi and Shimrra Jamaane, took the opportunity to join these dark side adepts and invade the Galaxy. It was revealed that she had taught them how to combat and even embrace the Force, turning them into weapons that were dangerous and volatile.

The Vong War, though on a lesser scale, came once more. The Vong and Vasalians ravaged the Outer Rim, and despite the military force of the Federation and the Empire, still managed to complete chaotic attacks on Coruscant, Naboo, Anaxes, and even worlds such Mandalore. It was such a force that the Federation and Empire were forced into an alliance of circumstance, despite brewing tensions between Fel Imperium and the Volshists.

It was by this alliance that these major battles were fought, and won, though at a great toll and cost - the Vasalian army would stop at nothing, without moral or standard, hellbent on destruction.

At last, Nairę was killed in 148 ABY at the final Battle of Coruscant, in a wave of repeat attacks on core Imperial and Federation worlds, attempting to destabilize and take them. Her Vong followers met the same resistance, and both the New Jedi Order under Grandmaster Cade Skywalker, the Knights of the Fel Empire, and and a strengthened Imperial Jedi and Sith Imperium under myself managed to hold off the onslaught of the Vasalian dark side adepts.

The Galaxy was left with much in ruin, but there was time to rebuild still - until the Cold War that followed.
