Destroyer analog

Destroyer analog was the New Republic name for a type of warship used by the Yuuzhan Vong. Armed with heavy plasma cannon and swarms of coralskippers carried on external spars, they may have been ships of the type which the Yuuzhan Vong themselves called Miid Ro'ik.

Two of these ships pursued Remis Vehn's light freighter as it attempted to run the blockade of Yavin 4 at the end of the battle there during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. One was torn apart by the explosion of the Idiot's Array, while the other was utterly destroyed by the superlaser aboard the Errant Venture.

The Kur-hashan, the Yuuzhan Vong command ship at the Battle of Esfandia may also have belonged to this class.

Behind the scenes
The equation of this class with the Miid Ro'ik is based primarily on the tentative identification of the two "destroyer analog" destroyed at the climax of Edge of Victory I: Conquest with the two large warships at the heart of the Yuuzhan Vong squadron when they initially arrive at Yavin 4 earlier in the novel: Kur-hashan is also described alternatively as a "destroyer" and a "warship" throughout the course of Force Heretic III: Rebirth.
