Legend

this Ssi-ruu was unusual in that it was born with rainbow-colored scales, incorporating all aspects of the Ssi-ruuvi caste system into a single individual. The birth of the Keeramak was the stuff of legends among the Ssi-ruuk and the P'w'eck, and signaled the end of the rigid caste system maintained on Lwhekk. The Keeramak would make the weak strong and free the oppressed, making the lower castes into leaders. According to the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, the Keeramak was born shortly before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy, and began rallying the P'w'eck to rise up against the Ssi-ruuk. In short time, the P'w'eck had thrown off their yokes and toppled the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, taking control of Lwhekk for themselves. The Keeramak was named the Shreeftut, taking control of the Ssi-ruuvi people and forcing them to submit to P'w'eck leadership. Five years later, the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement proposed an alliance with the Bakuran people, in an effort to strengthen both peoples against future invasions. The Bakuran people, fearful of another Ssi-ruuk invasion, were happy to learn of the P'w'eck liberation, and eagerly pursued an alliance. However, the P'w'eck were simply pawns in a much larger power play. The Ssi-ruuk had been subjugated by the Yuuzhan Vong, and forced to work toward an invasion of the Unknown Regions. To assist in this effort, it was required that the planet Bakura also be under Yuuzhan Vong control. The Keeramak, knowing that the Bakurans had no knowledge of the Ssi-ruuvi language, performed the consecration ceremony on Bakura, but declared the planet - now known as Xwhee to the Ssi-ruuk - to be consecrated in the name of the Ssi-ruuk. This was all part of a plan in which Prime Minister Cundertol received entechment and virtual immortality in echange for Bakura, a plan that the Keeramak openly endorsed when it was confronted by Leia Organa Solo. However, the Keeramak and its Ssi-ruuvi cohorts didn't anticipate the desire for independence of their P'w'eck assistants. Lwothin, the advance leader of the P'w'eck Emancipation Movement, shot and killed the Keeramak when it was ordered to shoot the Solos, ending the plot to subjugate Bakura. The body of the Keeramak was transported back to Lwhekk to appease the Conclave, with the hope of eventually appeasing the Elders' Council.
