Major Story Arcs

Refugees

After the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Artorias, Finn Galfridian joined the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin IV where Le’Ung was was situated along with Luke Skywalker and Kyp Durron. While Skywalker, Durron and Le’Ung were discussing Finn’s future as a Jedi, they were interrupted by a distress call from the planet Rychel requesting aid in the evacuation of citizens after yet another Yuuzhan Vong attack.

Lar Le’Ung, Luke Skywalker and Finn Galfridian traveled to Rychel and aided in the fighting. Lar fought well but relied on the Force too much, during an attempt to rally troops he was stabbed in the back by a Yuuzhan Vong, who was invisible to the Force like the rest of his species.

Powers and Abilities

Le’Ung was strong in the Force and skilled enough in lightsaber combat to defeat many Yuuzhan Vong warriors. His empathy allowed him to sense the fear emanating from Tu-Scart.

Though strong in the Force, Lar relied too much on it much like many other Jedi during the war.
