Legend

this was one of the small group of Shamed Ones who lived beneath the surface of Coruscant, after the planet had been transformed into a likeness of Yuuzhan'tar. Shoon-mi was a creche'-brother to Niiriit Esh, and was one of the few Shamed Ones who lived independently, away from groups like that led by Vuurok I'pan. Like the other Shamed ones, though, Shoon-mi believed that the Jedi Knights were not abominations, but saviors of the Shamed Ones and symbols of the new ideology which should be embraced by the Yuuzhan Vong. For this reason, their band remained small, in case they were captured by the Yuuzhan Vong warriors. This ensured that their small cult of Jedi followers would never be fully discovered. Shoon-mi was also devoted to protecting his sister Niiriit, who wasn't so independent that she refused his help. Unfortunately for the small group, they were discovered, and a group of Yuuzhan Vong warriors destroyed most of them. Shooni-mi, along with Nom Anor and Kunra, managed to survive the raids. Shoon-mi agreed to work with Nom Anor to ensure their further survival, as the former Executor adopted the name Yu'shaa and began to spread The Message to the Shamed Ones of Coruscant. However, unknown to Nom Anor, Shoon-Mi had begun to doubt the Prophet's dedication to The Message, and came to feel that Nom Anor was offering the Shamed Ones one form of servitude for another. In a bold attempt, Shoon-Mi and several other Shamed Ones loyal to him tried to assassinate Nom Anor. He hoped to kill the former Executor and, using an ooglith masquer, pretend to be the Prophet until such time as he could reveal himself. As Shoon-Mi tried to stab Nom Anor with a coufee, Kunra discovered the plot and stabbed Shoon-Mi in the back, severing his spinal column. Nom Anor, having survived the attack, then suffocated the remaining life from Shoon-Mi's body.
