A voxyn is a fictional creature featured in the Star Wars universe.
Voxyn are geneticly engineered creatures created by the Yuuzhan Vong to hunt Force users, particularly Jedi. They were developed from vornskyr stock from the planet Myrkr. Voxyn are multi-legged, dragonlike creaturs that fight by spitting acid, screeching powerful sonic blasts, or stabbing enemies with a venemous tail barb.
After the loss of several Jedi to the Yuuzhan Vong, Anakin Solo led an elite strike force to Myrkr, where the voxyn cloning facility is located. The strike force succeeded in destroying the voxyn "queen" and the irreplaceable voxyn genetic data, but at the cost of many Jedi and Yuuzhan Vong lives - Anakin self-immolated in a brilliantly destructive burst of Force energy while his brother Jacen Solo was captured by Vergere. After the Myrkr facility's destruction, the Yuuzhan Vong abandoned the voxyn project - the last of the voxyn died at the hands of Jedi Knights at the battles of Ebaq 9 and Coruscant.
