The Yorik-et possesses most standard features a Yuuzhan Vong ship of its class should have, for example:
ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Cognition. The Yorik-et are alive and once the pilot sits inside the cockpit can link up to one another. This bond increases the ability to react, letting the ship be an extension of the pilot. It is also capable of acting on its own as any living being, but coordination with a Yammosk is necessary to make them truly capable in that regard.
- Self-healing. It has a limited ability to heal itself. Within battle it can repair tears in its hull within the next ten to fifteen minutes, which makes it ineffective for combat benefits, but outside of battle it cuts back on maintenance costs.
- Dovin Basal. At its standard setting the Dovin Basal projects most of its attention and energy into preserving speed, maneuverability and its powerful weapons. This doesn't leave a lot of room for its shields, which are relatively weak compared to other strands. What makes this particular breed of Dovin Basal special is its ability to prioritize its other systems at the command of the pilot. The Yorik-et comes with x settings that can be switched to. This switch doesn't occur immediately and the Dovin Basal needs at least a minute or two to refocus its attention elsewhere. Furthermore, once the ship has switched its focus it remains locked into it for the next five to ten minutes. In essence realistically speaking the boost system should only be used in emergencies, because there won't be a lot of options to switch it around again.
Fortress: The Dovin Basal prioritizes shields over other primary systems. [ -2 to Maneuverability & Speed, +4 to Defense ] - Assault: Additional priority to the weapon systems, while other systems suffer. [ -1 to Maneuverability & Speed, +2 to Armament ]
- Flight: Prioritizes speed and maneuverability over other systems. [ +2 to Maneuverability & Speed, -4 to Armament ]
Strengths:
- Fast & Maneuverable: It's agile and fast. Its connection to its pilot allows feats within space that can't easily be matched by standard fighters.
- Powerful: Its weaponry pack a very good punch.
- Boost: Gives the pilot some more versatility in a changing battlefield to one degree or the other.
- Fragile: It can't survive many direct hits.
- Force Dead: Unlike other Yuuzhan Vong creations this Yorik-et is not Force Dead. It can be fooled and manipulated through the Force like any other ship.
- Susceptible: They are allergic to common Yuuzhan Vong threats like bafforr pollen. Depending on the scale and intensity the Yorik-et might die, be disabled or become far less effective.
- Boost: The time constraints on shifting the Basal's priority means the pilot needs to be keenly aware of what they are doing. A wrong move can cripple their ship in that particular scenario.
Utilizing her own knowledge of bio-engineering, the newfound shaping protocols and the existence of a new ally Cerbera began the growth of a new generation of Yorik-et. With a few twists and turns this Yorik-et is fast, agile and powerful, but most of its defenses were stripped away to accommodate these changes. It has virtually no protection against the common counters of the Yuuzhan Vong and the usual Force Deadness was stripped away during the engineering process.
As a result this strain of the Yorik-et is highly competent and capable to dish out the pain, while avoiding the brunt of damage leveled against it.
