| - Ahsi Yim was a female Yuuzhan Vong and a member of the species' shaper caste, who experimented with the science of biotechnology to aid the Yuuzhan Vong warriors in their conquests. Yim served during the Yuuzhan Vong War, in which her race invaded a galaxy in order to conquer its worlds and convert its inhabitants to the Yuuzhan Vong religion. Following the conquest of the planet Duro, Ahsi Yim worked on the terraforming of the world. The shaper found, however, that the orthodox protocols that governed her caste were severely outmoded and lacking when it came to the task at hand. Rather than slavishly obey the strictures, Ahsi Yim practiced heresy by adapting the protocols to suit the needs of the assignment. With her methods undiscovered and her success lauded, Yim was escalated to the rank of master shaper in 28 ABY and assigned to the conquered capital world of the New Republic, Coruscant. Yim worked on the terraforming of the world as she had on Duro, but soon found herself confronted with the same problems and once again secretly turned to heresy. Ahsi Yim's heresy was discovered, but instead of being sacrificed to the Yuuzhan Vong gods, the master shaper was secretly allowed to join a team of shapers, clandestinely overseen by Supreme Overlord Shimrra himself, which had been tasked with creating new technology—through heresy if need be—to aid in the continued conquest of the galaxy. Ahsi Yim worked alongside her sister Nen Yim; at the same time, the master shaper maintained ties with the Quorealists, an organization of Yuuzhan Vong opposed to Shimrra who operated on Coruscant. Due to Ahsi Yim's connections, she was approached by her sister in 29 ABY, who asked the master shaper if she could facilitate a meeting with a Quorealist. Yim was able to carry out her sister's request, although Nen Yim was abducted from the compound shortly after her meeting with the Quorealist, and Ahsi Yim was executed when a rumor reached Supreme Overlord Shimrra that she had played a part in the kidnapping.
