Miid ro'ik

Miid ro'ik The miid ro'ik warship was a Yuuzhan Vong bio-engineered capital starship and the rough analog to an Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

Characteristics


Perhaps the most powerful starship in the Yuuzhan Vong arsenal, the Miid Ro'ik warship is the rough analog to conventiona capital battleships such as the Imperial Star Destroyer. The warship is unique in its ability to recycle other Yuuzhan Vong starships. Whenever a coralskipper, kor chokk, or even a worldship begins to die, its organic material is fed to the miil ro'ik. The dying matter is converted into fuel fo the warship's yaret-kors and other systems. Some of this material is also transformed into viscous secretions that ooze onto the vehicle's hull and harden into gloss, black armored plates which can withstand blaster fire and collisions.

The remainder of the ship was composed of durable yorik coral, with several long coral arms sprouting from the vessel's sides. These red-and-blue arms latched onto coralskippers, transporting the starfighters through space.

While the warship's coralskipper complement could provide covering fire under attack, the miid ro'ik's main weapons consisted of sixty yaret-kors, arrayed across the hull, and often secreted within deep crags in the yorik coral.

In addition, the warship's hundreds of dovin basals&mdash;which locked onto gravitational fields to pull the vessel through space&mdash;could be used to drag enemy vessels closer to the deadly magma cannons, in much the same way as the New Republic employed tractor beams. Dovin basals projected gravitic anomalies that defended the miid ro'ik from incoming fire and provide the vessel with greater speed thean other Yuuzan Vong starships, which is critical because the warships are often used as command craft and must move quickly between key locations during a battle.



The most terrifying feature of the miid ro'ik was the dread weapon hidden in the belly of the warship. This huge, grotesque creature extended from the vessel to consume enemy starfighters or personnel.

The Yuuzhan Vong warship carried approximately 3,000 troops and various bio-vehicles.

History
Miid ro'ik warships, commonly referred to as Yuuzhan Vong warships, were deployed by the invasion forces as command ships, blockade vessels and assault starships.

Miid ro'ik are responsible for securing a perimeter during a space engagement. To prevent enemy ships from escaping, the warship's dovin basals produce a unified gravity well to prevent hyperspace retreats.
