«I want to know more about the life forms in this region. I want to know how they function, how they move…and how much pressure they can take before they burst.»
―Azca[1]

Azca was a Yuuzhan Vong commander of the Yuuzhan Vong empire who commanded a miid ro'ik cruiser as part of one of the empire's fleets. Around 25 ABY, during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Azca's fleet encountered the starship Pythea while on its way to the planet Artorias.

The commander had the crew of one of his fleet's yorik-vec assault cruisers board the Pythea in hopes of learning how much pressure the galaxy's inhabitants could take before they broke. However, the vessel's crew—Panha and Sarkkineliminated the Yuuzhan Vong boarders. Panha realized that they could not defeat Azca's forces, ramming the Pythea into Azca's miid ro'ik cruiser, killing much of the commander's crew.

Azca speaks with a Yuuzhan Vong warrior aboard their cruiser

As they wished to learn how much pressure those who lived in the galaxy could take before breaking, Azca had a group of their warriors board the Pythea instead of destroying the starship from afar. A Yuuzhan Vong warrior asked their commander why they had not ordered the enemy vessel's destruction. Azca then explained their wishes to the other, who soon reported that the Pythea was approaching the commander's cruiser.[1]

The warrior believed that the boarding party had captured the exploration vessel, which pleased Azca; however, the boarders had been eliminated by Panha and Sarkkin. The former realized that they could not defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, ramming Azca's miid ro'ik cruiser, severely damaging it, and killing much of its crew.[1]
