What's the Vong?

[Guest Stryder]

I've seen TONS of people talking about the Vong and wishing it was in GB. What exactly is the Vong and what books do I need to read to know about them?

[duder]

evil invader dudes, who grow all of their weapons organically. They are at war with the jedi, who they hate because they see the force as an unatural power that is at odds with their own beliefs. Its a religious based civ.

Hey Stryder....

They are from the New Jedi Order serries of books. GREAT reading. If you want the story to be a surprise DO NOT read the posts in the "New Jedi Order" thread....lots of spoilers. This was origionaly posted by Darthfergie...its a complete list of the books in the serries. Hope this helps.

It is very religious though Duder. They have consumed galaxies before they came to the galaxy where Star Wars takes place. The Vong does grow their weapon Organically. They have BIG Ships size of the moon called Worldship. They have ships that are alive. They hate machines and they seen it as an abimonation. So you can tell that if they see a machine they usually go bersek. They do also hate the Jedi for a reason. The Jedi are hurting them and plus like duder said they are at odds with their beliefs. The Vongs cant be sensed through the force. So the Jedi is weak against them. They would be a good anit Jedi/Sith civs. Hope this helps you and plus if you have any more question about Star Wars or the Vong ask me. I can help you out and that applies to everybody.
