Cortex
this was the term used by the Yuuzhan Vong Shapers to describe a section of the Qang Qahsa, wherein specific levels of knowledge were stored. Each cortex was supposedly delivered to the first Supreme Overlord by the gods themselves, in the Before-Time of Yuuzhan Vong history. There were five cortexes that were open to any member of the Shapers caste. Two additional, inner cortexes were accessible by Master Shapers. An eighth cortex was rumored to exist, created in preparation for the yuuzhan Vong's invasion of the New Republic. This eighth cortex supposedly held information on the lifeforms of the galaxy, along with information on the Force. Unfortunately, the eighth cortex was empty, a fiction created by Supreme Overlord Shimrra to give credence to his invasion plans.
