Qau Lah commanded the warriors stationed on the space station within the Yag'Dhul system when the Yuuzhan Vong initiated their attack, an event that occurred following the death of Shok Choka at the hands of Anakin Solo. Following this, Nom Anor instructed him to seek out the 'infidels'. As he turned to comply, the Intendant fatally shot him in the back of the head. This action was motivated by Qau's knowledge of Nom Anor's cowardice, stemming from his refusal to accept a challenge. Nom Anor sought to prevent this information from reaching Qurang Lah, the commander of the Yuuzhan Vong forces.
