The Supreme Overlord
The Supreme Overlord can be considered a one-person caste, and is the highest caste commanding all others. Information on the current Supreme Overlord still widely varies from source to source, but it is known he has commanded the invasion since the very beginning.
The Warrior Caste
The caste most seen in this galaxy has been the Warrior Caste. As the name suggests, they are the most aggressive of all the Vong we have met. They serve as the army and have been trained from an early age to excel in combat. Notable ranks within this caste include Warmaster, Supreme Commander, Commander, Subaltern and Warrior.
The Priest Caste
As the Vong have a highly rigid theocratic system in place as well, the Priest Caste would then wield considerable power with the Vong. There are numerous sects within this caste, each one worshipping a different Yuuzhan Vong deity. Ranks include Most-High Priest(ess), High Priest(ess), Priest(ess), Seer, and Novice.
The Shaper Caste
The Shaper Caste is an oddity within a traditional caste system. The Vong technology is completely organic- based, nothing mechanical about anything they use. As such, shapers are the scientists who supervise the biotechnology of the Vong and concentrate on the creation and development of organic technology. The work together with priests in this development. Shapers themselves are ranked very high within the Vong society, with ranks including Master Shaper, Shaper Adept, and Shaper Initiate. Shapers can also be distinguished more readily than other castes as they are typically shorter and wear intricate tendril headdresses as well as having multi-fingered hands they use as tools.
The Intendant Caste
The Intendant Caste works to keep the society of the Yuuzhan Vong functioning as well as being responsible for it’s economy. It has been charged with matters of commerce, bureaucracy, trade and they are the manager of the slave work the Vong currently employ. Members of this caste come from the Shaper and Warrior castes and ranking consists of High Prefect, Prefect, Consul, Executor and Attendant.
The Worker Caste
Believed to be the largest caste, the Worker Caste serves mainly as servants, slaves and labourers. This caste also includes those deemed “Shamed Ones”, Vong whose bodies have rejected organic implants and modifications. Any Vong not able to fit into the above casts becomes a Worker, along with any other races that have been forced into slavery.
