Legend

this Yuuzhan Vong commander assumed control of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy after Nom Anor failed to secure the intial worlds of Vector Prime. Shedao himself tasted defeat on Bimmiel and Dantooine, but regained control and decided to strike out against the Jedi Knights. Shedao was a descendant of the famed Mongei Shai, whose expedition was one of the first to venture into the galaxy some fifty years before the assault on Belkadan and Dubrillion. Shedao had hoped to recover the body of his ancestor, but Doctor Anki Pace and her team recovered the remains in order to better study the Yuuzhan Vong. After learning that the Jedi defeated and killed two members of his famly on Bimmiel, Shedao Shai felt a need to know more about the New Republic and the Jedi. Thus, when Elegos A'Kla submitted himself as an emmissary, Shedao Shai agreed to show him everything about the Yuuzhan Vong. He was questioned constantly by his second in command, Deign Lian, who was secretly working with the Yuuzhan Vong Warmaster to further the invasion's progress as quickly as possible. In the end, though, Shedao Shai was forced to strangle Elegos with his bare hands. He then had the Caamasi's skeletong gilded and sent back to Corran Horn, who had killed Shai's kin. Shedao Shai demanded retribution and the return of Mongei Shai's remains, despite the pleas of Deign Lian to abandon his "personal agenda." After the Battle of Garqi, Shedao Shai agreed to a duel with Corran on the surface of Ithor. The stakes were simple: the winner obtained possession of Ithor. Corran managed to defeat and kill Shedao Shai in the struggle, leaving Deign Lian in control of the Yuuzhan Vong forces. Despite the honor of Shedao Shai's death, Deign Lian went ahead with his own plans and wiped out all life on Ithor.
