Legend

this was the greatest of the deities worshipped by the Yuuzhan Vong. Yun-Yuuzhan was known as the Cosmic Lord or the Creator. Yun-Yuuzhan was considered the beginning of all that existed, and it was Yun-Yuuzhan who took parts of his own body to form the other gods as well as the Yuuzhan Vong themselves. Thus, statues of Yun-Yuuzhan often appeared incomplete, representing his own sacrifices. After the Yuuzhan Vong reformed the planet Coruscant into a representation of Yuuzhan'tar, an underground group of Shamed Ones began to spread The Message of the Jedi Knights. Nom Anor, cast out of his role as Executor because of his treachery, rallied the Shamed Ones while posing as the prophet Yu'shaa. Part of his heretical beliefs involved the true nature of the Force, and Yu'shaa theorized that the Force was actually the remnant of Yun-Yuuzhan's soul, after Yun-Yuuzhan gave birth to the universe. This theory, when repeated by countless Shamed Ones, evolved over time to state that the Force was actually the linger exhalations of Yun-Yuuzhan, instilling power in the Jedi Knights and linking the two civilizations together.
