Range
this was the name used by the New Republic military to describe the large, ground assault vehicles of the Yuuzhan Vong. The name came from the fact that the vehicles resembled mountain ranges. Like the smaller vehicles used by the Yuuzhan Vong, ranges moved about on cilia-like appendages on the bottom of the vehicle. They were protected by spiked, bony plates of armor, and used several of the Yuuzhan Vong's bio-organic weapons: dovin basals, plasma guns, and projectile launchers. Weapons were mounted on bony spikes that studded the spine and flanks of the range, making it look like a huge slug. It was later discovered that the Yuuzhan Vong referred to these vehicles as rakamats.
