Legend

this was the term used to describe the network of nerve connections which were developed by the slave seeds of the Yuuzhan Vong. This nerve network meshed with the nervous system of the host, virtually becoming a single network which was controlled by the host's brain and the slave seed's controlling organism. The web's primary purpose was to connect with sensile nerves in the host, allowing the controlling organism to administer pain whenever the slave disobeyed. The web was engineered with a unique fail-safe: whenever contact was broken with the controlling organism, the web administered an intense pain which could only be assuaged by contact with its parent coraltree basal. This was useful during the tizo'pil Yun'tchilat, when the maturing dhuryams had to survive on their own, without the assistance of their slaves.
