"The Vray are a gentle species. Without an escort, the evacuation convoy will be defenseless against the Yuuzhan Vong."
―Leia Organa Solo to General Muun about the Vray[1]

The Vray were a gentle sentient species that was one of many forced to flee from the invading Yuuzhan Vong during the pangalactic Yuuzhan Vong War, started when they invaded the galaxy from another.[1] In 27 ABY,[2] Jedi ally and former New Republic leader, Leia Organa Solo, and her husband Han traveled to the Bilbringi Shipyards to request that its commander, General Muun, provide them with ships to form an escort to protect the evacuation convoy of the Vray. There were at least a hundred thousand Vray who had been being evacuated for weeks before the Solos arrived in the Bilbringi system.[1]

Muun refused at first, unwilling to leave the shipyards vulnerable to a Yuuzhan Vong attack. However, when Yuuzhang Vong Warmaster Tsavong Lah sent Nom Anor to Bilbringi to tell the Solos that he would have many refugees killed if the Jedi did not surrender to the Yuuzhan Vong, Muun saw protecting the Vray refugees as an opportunity to boost his career. He therefore led a convoy of ten vessels to escort the Vray to safety.[1]
