| The Yuuzhan Vong command hierarchy had many levels. Only the most devoted Yuuzhan Vong, who truly worshipped the gods and were prepared to sacrifice their lives to honour them, were granted the highest positions. The lowest caste was looked down upon with disgust, while the higher castes were revered and respected throughout the Yuuzhan Vong hierarchy. |
| Household of the Supreme Overlord The Supreme Overlord was the absolute ruler of the Yuuzhan Vong, and commanded all other castes. Only the Supreme Overlord could communicate with The Creator, Yun-Yuuzhan. Supreme Overlord Supreme Overlord's Heir Shaper Caste The Shapers were responsible for the bioengineered technology of the Yuuzhan Vong. Those of the Shaper caste were the scientists who powered the Yuuzhan Vong society. Being closest in purpose to The Creator, they were the highest caste other than the Supreme Overlord. Master Shaper Shaper Adept Shaper Initiate Priest Caste The Priests were the holy ones who served and spoke for the various lesser gods worshipped by the Yuuzhan Vong. Although positioned below the Shapers, the Priest caste was something of a free-floating entity, whose Priests commanded the respect of all. Most-High Priest(ess) High Priest(ess) Priest(ess) Seer Novice Warrior Caste The warriors fought for the Yuuzhan Vong in their wars. They used all the technologies created by the Shapers, and with the aid of the Priests, took conquered worlds and turned them into planets that would aid the Yuuzhan Vong war effort. Warmaster Supreme Commander Commander Subaltern Warrior Intendant Caste The intendants ran the economy of the Yuuzhan Vong society, overseeing trade, commerce and slavery. The intendants could come from either the Shaper or the Warrior Castes. High Prefect Prefect Consul Executor Attendant Worker Caste The lowest caste in the Yuuzhan Vong hierarchy, the workers comprised those who were outcast from other castes, those who were not considered fit to join any other caste at birth - due to various defects - or members of conquered species, such as the Chazrach, forced to work as slaves.
