Homebrew Reference Book: New Jedi Order Campaign Guide
Yorik-Stronha are bioships used by The Yuuzhan Vong Empire that resemble small asteroids. These ships are sent into enemy territory before an attack fleet to spy on the enemy, and are often equipped with cloaking shadows to guide in the invasion force. A Yorik-Strohna is made from yorik coral and covered with layers of rock, which extended to a depth of fifty meters everywhere except their main cooling vane, which was disguised as a crevasse in the surface.
Individual Yorik-Stronha varied, as, in spite of their outward appearance, they must be grown organically, like all Yuuzhan Vong Vehicles. They are designed to be around 228 meters long, with a crew of twelve and provision for a dozen passengers, plus a Hibridium Cloaking Device, and enough supplies for two months.

Tactical Fire
A Yorik-Stroma's stealth capabilities make it an exceptionally good choice for ambushes and scouting missions. As a Standard Action, a Yorik-Stronha Spy Ship can forgo all attacks to provide Tactical Fire to all adjacent squares. Any successful attack against an enemy Starfighter within that area that deals damage equal to or exceeding the target ship's Damage Threshold automatically moves the target ship an additional -1 step down the Condition Track (In addition to the normal -1 step from damage).
