Legend

this was one of the five primary Yuuzhan Vong naval forces which were deployed by the Warmaster, Tsavong Lah, to attack the New Republic base on Ebaq 9. Like the Battle Group of Yun-Harla, this group was held in reserve by the Warmaster until the flow of the battle could be discerned. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group was personally commanded by the Warmaster, and was sent into the fray to work with the Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah battle groups when the New Republic brought in its reserve forces. When the tide turned toward the Republic, Tsavong Lah saw his own forces shredded in the pincers of the trap devised by Admiral Ackbar. A retreat was ordered, but the Yuuzhan Vong found the only hyperspace escape route mined by the Republic. The Yun-Yuuzhan battle group lost only a third of its ships, but most of those were transports loaded with warriors. The Warmaster then ordered the Yun-Yuuzhan battle group into an all-out assault on Ebaq 9. Using what little ground assault strength he had, the Warmaster hoped to capture the Jedi Knights on the moon and sacrifice them to the True Gods, in the hopes of gaining their favor and assistance in the battle. He was betrayed by the former Jedi Knight Vergere, who managed to crash her starship into Ebaq 9 and vent its atmopshere.
