Legend

this Yuuzhan Vong warrior was once in love with the Shaper Mezhan Kwaad. The pair had hoped that the gods would condone their emotional attachment, but it was not to be. Rather than give up his status as a warrior, and threaten Mezhan's status as a Shaper, Vua broke off their relationship before they could be discovered. Mezhan felt scorned, and infected Vua with a disease that made his body reject the ritual scars that were demanded of a warrior. Vua was forced to relinquish his position as a warrior and became one of the Shamed Ones, although he knew that his status was the fault of Mezhan Kwaad and not the gods. He vowed to exact revenge on her, and found his chance when both were stationed on Yavin 4, during the invasion of the New Republic. Vua Rapuung encountered Anakin Solo in the forest, after having faked his death in an effort to plan his revenge. He claimed that his meeting with Anakin was required for his plans, and faked his death in order to reach Anakin. Vua agreed to help Anakin rescue Tahiri Veila, as the action helped get him closer to Mezhan Kwaad. Once inside the Shapers' damutek, Vua confronted Mezhan about his affliction. She revealed that had, indeed, been her doing that Shamed him, and the warriors among the Yuuzhan Vong allowed Vua a momentary return of status before killing him in battle. Vua's valiant efforts allowed Anakin and Tahiri to escape the damutek complex and return to the Jedi.
