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. Miid Ro'ik warships, commonly referred to as "Yuuzhan Vong warships" were deployed by the invasion forces as command ships, blockade vessels and combat battleships. Ovoid in shape, the 1,600-meter-long Miid Ro'ik was striped by black armored plates that were bio-formed to withstand blaster fire and collisions. The remainder of the ship was comprised 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 lava cannons, 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.

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 dread weapon was also used to transport Yuuzhan Vong troops from the Miid Ro'ik to a planet's surface. The Yuuzhan Vong warship carried approximately 3,000 troops and various bio-vehicles.
