Description
Tsavong Lah was born into a powerful domain; his father was Warmaster Czulkang Lah. He was considered the living embodiment of the warrior caste and was second in power only to the Supreme Overlord. Known for his fanaticism, he zealously revered the war god Yun-Yammka and despised the bureaucratic caste of his people.
During the invasion he led the offensive along the Corellian Trade Spine, achieved success and suffered losses at Duro, declared a hunt for the Jedi, and tried to weaken the enemy from within using the services of the defector Viqi Shesh, whom he treated with open contempt. In carrying out his plan to capture Coruscant, he also relied on his own son Khalee Lah, whom he tasked with pursuing the Jedi.
The taking of the capital turned into a series of setbacks for the warmaster, and his final campaign led his forces into the Deep Core, where the enemy's deception was uncovered too late. Tsavong Lah was killed, and his place was taken by Warmaster Nas Choka.
