Protocol of Hon Akua
The Shaper caste of the Yuuzhan Vong employed a protocol known as the Protocol of Hon Akua. This protocol detailed the creation process for Grutchin, which were insectoid weapons utilized by the Yuuzhan Vong to assault enemy starships. In 26.5 ABY, Onimi, who served as the court jester to Vong Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane, resolved to leverage the information contained within this protocol. His aim was to fabricate a flawless grutchin while posing as a Master Shaper under the alias Kae Kwaad. Onimi's actions were part of a larger scheme to assess the capabilities of Shaper Adept Nen Yim in devising innovative protocols to populate the nearly vacant eighth cortex.
