Onimi is the overarching antagonist of The New Jedi Order series, also known as the Yuuzhan Vong saga, of the Star Wars Legends continuity.
He was a male Yuuzhan Vong who lived during his species' invasion of the Star Wars galaxy. Initially appears to be Supreme Overlord Shimrra Jamaane's court jester and representantive, he is later revealed to be the one who mind-controls Shimrra, thus making him the de-facto Supreme Overlord of the entire Yuuzhan Vong species. He is also Jacen and Jaina Solo's arch-nemesis.
History
A former member of the elite, Onimi was condemned as a Shamed One when his attempt to graft Yammosk tissue onto his brain failed and left him deformed. A side effect of this was to restore the use of the Force to Onimi, which allowed him to take control of Shimrra Jamaane.
During the war, Onimi was the true power behind the throne of the Yuuzhan Vong. Because of his Shamed One status he could not rule openly, so he had Shimrra take him on as a jester, whereby he could control the Supreme Overlord.
After the death of Shimrra Onimi decided that he would exterminate all life in the Star Wars galaxy. However he was defeated by Jacen Solo, who in a moment of total oneness with the Force was able to reverse all of Onimi's modifications and caused him to lose control of all the toxins Onimi was going to use against Solo. The toxins dissolved Onimi, causing the final Supreme Overlord of the Yuuzhan Vong to become a puddle of foul hydrocarbons which were absorbed by the floor of Shimrra's ship.
Linked to Onimi, Shimrra's ship died itself a few moments later. Seeing the destruction of Shimrra's ship was enough to convince the Vong that their Supreme Overlord was dead. Many Vong followed what they thought was the Supreme Overlord's example and committed suicide. The surviving Vong surrendered a short time later, bringing an end to the war.
Powers and Abilities
Onimi has become such a great power that he becomes superior even to his own gods, and at the same time he is able to withstand oneness Jacen for a certain period of time.
Trivia
- Due to being a Shamed One, Onimi doesn't use his domain's name. However, he claims to have come from Shimrra's domain originally, implying that his full name is Onimi Jamaane.
- Onimi can be seen as a mirror to Vergere: both of them are Force-users who exist outside the Jedi/Sith duality, able to manipulate chemistries in their own bodies, and diguise themselves as lowly beings among the Yuuzhan Vong to hide their true goals. However, while Vergere wants to stop the war before it destroys both sides, Onimi wants to take advantage of it to annihilate all life in the galaxy so he can attain godhood.
