"Open fire on the shields! Kusurrun, you will dive onto the shield over the enemy command center at maximum thurst!"

- Warmaster Tsavong Lah, during the Battle of Ebaq 9

Kusurrun was a Yuuzhan Vong frigate that took part in the invasion of a galaxy that was, for the most part, controlled by the New Republic. Part of the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan, Kusurrun participated in the Battle of Ebaq 9. During that conflict, Warmaster Tsavong Lah had the Kusurrun immolate itself upon the planetary shields covering the planetoid Ebaq 9 in order to bring them down.

Description
Kusurrun was a frigate used by the Yuuzhan Vong species.

History
In existence by 28 ABY, during an invasion of a galaxy other than the Yuuzhan Vong's own, Kusurrun particpated in the the Battle of Ebaq 9. There, the Kusurrun was apart of the Battle Group of Yun-Yuuzhan, which was commanded by Warmaster Tsavong Lah, as Lah attempted to destroy a New Republic base on the planetoid of Ebaq 9 in the Treskov system. However, as the battle began to look like as if the New Republic would defeat the Yuuzhan Vong forces in the Treskov system, Lah had the Kusurrun and rest of Yun-Yuuzhan, along with some of his other forces, head for Ebaq 9, where a couple of New Republic allied Jedi Knights were stationed, so that the Warmaster might kill them. Hoping to bring down the planetary shield over Ebaq 9, Lah had the Kusurrun commit a suicide run on the shields to damage them, and also had Victory Section follow the frigate, and try to take out the shield with their dovin basals. Although the Warmaster managed to get the shields down and land his warriors on the planetoid, the victory ended in a spectacular victory for the New Republic, as the battle was a trap designed by New Republic Admiral Gial Ackbar. Lah perishing later in the fighting.
