Matalok

Matalok Mataloks were large Yuuzhan Vong bioships commonly found in the Yuuzhan Vong warfleet.

Characteristics
They were approximately 1,200 meters long and had an armament of 40 yaret-kor. They possessed a Yuuzhan Vong wing of 36 Coralskippers. They were used to command the Yuuzhan Vong attack forces.

History
They resembled the Mon Calamari Star Cruisers from a distance and were heavily armed and shielded, but there were instances of mataloks being destroyed by proton torpedo shots that would have only dented the armor on a Mon Calamari cruiser.

For instance, one shadow bomb launched from Jaina Solo's X-wing destroyed a matalok in the Second Battle of Borleias (by blowing a large crater, ensuring that the matalok was dying). Rogue Squadron X-wings launched a proton torpedo barrage at another matalok to cover a refugee ship later in the same battle. Three of the torpedoes hit, cracking the matalok in half.
