Legend

this form of Yuuzhan Vong starship was essentially a collection of hexagonal containment chambers, glued together to form kilometers-long transport ships. Roughly spherical in shape, camp ships were originally used to transport large groups of small cargoes across small distances. After the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of the galaxy some twenty-five years after the Battle of Endor, they began using the transports to move slaves across the galaxy. The individual chambers were of all sizes, and each was capable of accommodating a wide range of gravities and environments. The name "camp ship" derived from the New Republic captives who were transported in these ships. The chambers were large enough to accommodate families and clans, allowing them to exist in mobile, Yuuzhan Vong refugee camps. These ships were extremely useful during the reformation of Coruscant, when hundreds of millions of beings had to be moved off-planet in order to being its Vongforming.
