[edit] Biography
Many among the Warrior caste believed that he would succeeded his father as Warmaster—something Khalee himself was firmly convinced of. While under the authority of Harrar—priest of the goddess Yun-Harla and a friend of his father—the warrior Lah helped spearhead the effort to capture and sacrifice the Solo twins Jacen and Jaina. Following Jaina's hasty escape from Myrkr aboard Nom Anor's personal ship, Ksstarr, Harrar and Lah tracked her to the world of Hapes. While on Hapes, the Solo girl found out how the Yuuzhan Vong track their ships, and how to confound that technique. By utilizing a small repulsor device created by Lowbacca, she was able to send up countless decoys, both to test her theory and to infuriate the Vong. After a great number of failures at Hapes, including allowing the Jedi to escape, Lah made this request:
- "The battle was a failure. The Jeedai escaped. It would seem that I was infected with the heresy, or the gods would have allowed me to die in glorious battle. My failure can only serve to tarnish my domain. The name of the warmaster, whom you name friend." -- Khalee Lah (translated to Basic from the Yuuzhan Vong tongue)
This was a request to die. Handing the warrior one of Jaina's repulsor devices, Harrar granted Lah his death.
- "I will report to Tsavong Lah that his kinsman died in battle, through the trickery of the Jeedai, sacrificed by his own men. Put this upon your ship, and it will be so." -- Harrar (translated to Basic)
[edit] Description
Taller than the average Yuuzhan Vong, Khalee Lah was distinguished by the various spikes and horns which adorned his scarred body. Prominent among these was a short, thick horn that protruded from his forehead.
