However, like any living organism, coralskippers aged and died.Īlso, hidden beneath the front of a yorik-et was a small creature that resembled a heart called the dovin basal. The coralskipper refueled and rearmed by eating rocks, small asteroids, and stellar debris. The coralskipper also possessed two plasma projectors at the front of the ship, sometimes referred to as 'rock spitters'. The coralskipper's weapon was a Yaret-Kor, a small appendage at the front of the vehicle which released a searing magma rock that could seriously damage enemy craft. The coralskipper's pilot could communicate with the craft via a special mask called a cognition hood at the cockpit. Despite this, every coralskipper shared some basic features, such as a dark canopy, and a triangular body. It was grown instead of manufactured so no two coralskippers looked alike. The yorik-et was a bioship made from yorik coral, since the Yuuzhan Vong despised mechanical technology as an abomination.
