Koiogran turn

A Koiogran turn or drop-kick Koiogran turn was a manuever used by starfighter pilots to escape pursuit. By pushing the throttle forward with one hand and twisting the control stick with the other, the pilot would lose all forward momentum and loop-roll in another direction.

Luke Skywalker unsuccessfully attempted to escape from Mara Jade by using a drop-kick Koiogran turn when they were both flying Skipray Blastboats in the atmosphere of Myrkr. Luke, unfamiliar with the craft at the time, accidentally hit the top of the treeline after losing his forward momentum and caused both craft to plummet into the forest below.
