Legend

this immense, ovoid warship was grown by the Yuuzhan Vong to serve as the standard vessel in their fleet. Measuring some 1,620 meters in length, the Miid Ro'ik warship resembled a striped stone, with alternately smooth and rough surfaces. The rough surface of the ship was studded with hundreds of dovin basals and sixty plasma projectors. Emerging from the ship's main body were arms of red and blue coral that acted as docking bays for the coralskippers it transported into battle. These arms ran from the nose of the ship toward its rear, on the left, right, and dorsal flanks of the ship. The Miid Ro'ik warship required a dedicated crew of 1,280 Yuuzhan Vong warriors, and could accommodate up to 1,950 troops and 8,200 metric tons of cargo or ordnance. Note that The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels indicates that the Miid Ro'ik could transport up to 3,000 troops. In order to remain viable, a Miid Ro'ik needed to feed and gain sustenance. Thus, the Yuuzhan Vong often fed the organic refuse created from dead warships to their Miid Ro'ik, in order to keep the warships alive.
