#czulkang lah

Enemy Lines II bits that made me laugh.

I am old. But for my augmented armor, I could barely move. Aches befall me that have nothing to do with the marks I have put on myself over the years. And I am little but an honored prisoner here, unable to lead, and begged by my son not to die.

czulkang lah being the garm bel iblis of the yuuzhan vong is funny but????? he should be the ackbar. WHERE is my boy what’s he doing why don’t they ever mention him!!!!!!!!

[girlbossk]

ok so while nen yim is objectively the best yuuzhan vong, i think (aside from her) the two most impressive vong are shedao shai and czulkang lah just because they each just got a duology and yet they stand out so much more clearly in my memory than tsavong lah (arguably the main villain everyone is facing for most of the series) or nas choka (notable for losing coruscant to kre’fey and... nothing else?) and yeah nom anor is big but less impressive because he’s supposed to be big and these guys... aren’t

especially shedao shai. like, czulkang lah i think got described as the vong’s garm bel iblis and was unique & i liked him but. shedao shai. i didn’t like his chapters in the book but that might have been bc it’s literally book 3 of the series, and the second one where we get vong pov. either way, he was immensely interesting and let’s just say... elegos.... corran...... the battle of ithor............. the BATTLE OF ITHOR. the DUEL. and then of course his underling had to go and fuck things up and wipe out ithor and get corran accused of... ??????? he won the battle. he WON the BATTLE. and then he went to become a gunrunner in his shame. shedao shai managed to turn corran horn to smuggling. that is the true accomplishment of all nineteen books of the new jedi order series

“are you sure you are not an ooglith masquer with nothing actually inside?” this is why czulkang lah is my second favorite yuuzhan vong after nen yim
