Legend

this was a Bothan term, used to describe the highest state of war in which the Bothan's could participate. It was reserved for those dire situations in which the very survival of the Bothan race was at stake, and demanded the complete and utter extermination of an enemy Historically, the invocation of ar'kai demanded that the enemy be destroyed to the last individual, that their names be wiped from history, and their planets reduced to dust. It had been invoked only twice in Bothan history, before the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the galaxy. In the wake of Borsk Fey'lya's death at the Battle of Coruscant, the Bothans again invoked the ar'kai, vowing to eradicate the Yuuzhan Vong. The ar'kai was not dropped after the Yuuzhan Vong were finally defeated, and many members of the Bothan SpyNet set out to locate Zonama Sekot, in an effort to destroy the Yuuzhan Vong who were allowed to live there.
