Even though I was never really on the other side of the argument though, somehow by stating a fix based on a possible assumption of intent, I got put over there, I dont get why you say this at all. And your example is illogical until something like Gamorrean Hunter is created.
At this point I think you have become so ingrained in the argument on one level (gameplay) that when I try to read it incorporating gameplay and storyline I get confused. I could care less about gameplay at this point, it makes sense to me why it's not necessary nor did I ever care that much if it was. Surely, though, you are not saying that Yuzaahn Vong are not a species at the Storyline level?
No, Yuuzhan Vong is not an individual
species, even as the books are concerned, IMO. As I pointed out, all various forms of YV are referred to as YV throughout the book. They are really more separate 'species' such as things like the main castes (Warriors, priests, leaders, etc....the humanoids), then things like the Chazrak and such are very literally different species, but they have been absorbed into the YV as a whole. I guess maybe it would be more like sub-species.
The fact of the matter is, even stuff like the Voxyn would not be considered 'Yuuzhan Vong species', they are 'Voxyn species'. So I think the overall moniker of the YV faction works exactly as it should based on my interpretation of the novels.
