[edit] Overview

The Warmaster was often addressed as the Fearsome One. All Warmasters were remade in the image of Yun-Yammka, the War God. Warmasters were also the number two member of Yuuzhan Vong society, after the Supreme Overlord. It was forbidden for a subordinate to look upon a naked Warmaster and live, except in times of breeding.

[edit] History

According to Tsavong Lah, the first Warmaster created by Yun-Yuuzhan was a vua'sa weapon-beast instead of a Yuuzhan Vong. A Yuuzhan Vong warrior challenged and killed the beast, and thus the title was carried on by Yuuzhan Vong warriors.

At the time of the invasion of the galaxy, the Warmaster of the Yuuzhan Vong was Tsavong Lah. His father, Czulkang Lah, had been Warmaster before him. Most Warmasters were killed in battle, but Tsavong Lah wrested the title from his father by right of combat, sparing the elder warrior's life out of familial attachment. Czulkang Lah went on to become one of the most respected teachers of warriors until falling in battle against Wedge Antilles's fleet over the world of Borleias.

When Tsavong Lah was killed by Jedi Knight Jaina Solo on Ebaq 9, Supreme Commander Nas Choka was escalated as the next and final Warmaster of the Yuuzhan Vong. He led his forces into battle against the Galactic Alliance in the decisive Battle of Yuuzhan'tar, though ultimately surrendered to the enemy after the truce on Zonama Sekot.
