Qau Lah was the leader of the warriors on the space station that the Yuuzhan Vong attacked in the Yag'Dhul system after Shok Choka was killed by Anakin Solo. Nom Anor told him to go and find the 'infidels'. He turned and the Intendant shot him in the back of the head. He did this because Qau knew that Nom Anor backed down from a challenge and so was a coward. Nom Anor did not want this information getting to Qurang Lah, the commander of the Yuuzhan Vong force.
