Greetings, Star Travelers, this is Man in Ushanka.
English subtitles are included, as always!
Have you ever though of the fact what ship in the Star Wars universe is the biggest of
all?
The Executor-Class Flagship of Darth Vader?
The Eclipse-Class Flagship of Emperor himself?
Or maybe Snoke's Flagship, the pride of the new canon that already generated a lot
of noise around youtube?
Well, today we are going to discuss exactly that!
So, I guess, many of you already heard of Yuuzhan Vongs.
If you did, you will definitely like this video.
And, if you only found out about the fascinating universe of Star Wars a short time ago then
you will be doubly happy to know how these guys are linked to the topic of our today's
video.
At this moment many already heard about this terrifying race of space conquerors that terrorized
entire galaxies and who were one of the most dangerous enemies for both the Galactic Empire
and for the New Republic in the whole Galaxy Far Far Away.
And what were these guys also famous for except for their militarism, masochism, the urge
to biologically change themselves and their hatred towards all mechanical things, including
droids?
Yep, they were also famous for their huge, gigantic, ginormous spaceships that they utilized
to traverse around the Galaxy and beyond.
The Yuuzhan Vong fleet was very diverse thanks to the fact that it was, in fact, nothing
more than a bunch of some kind of gigantic space-faring coral reefs that served as homes
for millions of extremely dangerous inhabitants.
Taking into consideration their ways of interacting with the surrounding world, we can easily
compare Yuuzhan Vongs to Tyranids from Warhammer 40000 or, for example, with Zergs from StarCraft.
Yet we must also note that their habits were similar to those of Dark Eldars.
After conquering a world Yuuzhan Vongs frequently initiated a process of so-called ''Vongforming''
that allowed them to populate the entire planet first with spores and then, with adult organisms
of many different kinds and species that were symbiotic with the main Yuuzhan Vong species.
The process of Vongforming, as you might have guessed, was not peaceful and it usually destroyed
the vast majority of ecosystems that were once present on a conquered planet.
During the war with Yuuzhan Vongs, more than 300 trillion individuals died in the Star
Wars Galaxy.
Most of them were either citizens of the New Republic or of the Imperial Remnants, as well
as of some other affected space governments including the Chiss Ascendancy.
If I am not mistaken, Killiks were also affected by this bloody conflict even though they were
once a threat that could destroy the population of entire planets by devouring all of the
native species.
Yuuzhan Vongs created their terrifying fleets right on the surface of the planets that were
conquered by them, literally sucking out of the ground and even out of other starships
different kinds of materials that could later be processed and turned into so-called Yorik-Coral.
Yet the ''bones'' of the ships and other structures created of it were much stronger
than the skull of one famous Shakespearean character.
This fascinating material, thanks to the advanced technologies used by Yuuzhan Vong shapers,
was so tough and durable that it could protect the items even from turbolaser fire, even
without using deflector shields.
Should I remind you that a turbolaser blast could devastate entire cities?
By the way, I have a video devoted to the topic of how star destroyers can annihilate
populations of entire planets.
I strongly recommend you to check it out but, of course, the decision is always yours.
Many-many-many things could be manufactured from the noted Yorik Coral, from bodies of
light starfighters and cases of reactive shells to carcasses and armor of so-called Koros-Strohna,
also knows as worldships in Galactic Basic Standard language.
These huge coral vessels, real space cities, were created in different sized.
There was also a possibility of repairing and upgrading these ships right in the outer
space by literally growing the additional layers of coral substance.
Some of Koros Strohna were as big as the First Death Star and could carry a huge amount of
weaponry onboard, beginning with tiny Yaret-Korrs that could discharge overheated shells that
looked ugly and awkward at the first glance yet at the same time being incredibly powerful,
fast and deadly projectiles.
That could be created right in action, out of asteroids or of remains of enemy starships.
Of course, it would be very logical to presume that projectiles like this weren't as powerful
as turbolaser blasts that were used by both the Galactic Empire and the New Republic,
but the fact that both the shells and new batteries could be created literally our of
space garbage, turned Yuuzhan Vongs into one of the deadliest enemies the Galactic Society
ever encountered.
As a rule, not so many Yuuzhan Vongs populated the huge space faring coral cities and we
know that every Koros Strohna carried only a limited amount of warriors onboard.
Yet at the same time the ship also served as the home for many thousands or, perhaps
even millions of units of Yuuzhan Vong's ''propriety'', slaves and tamed animals
that were crucial for the survivability of the Yuuzhan Vong society.
Except for Gauss-like Yaret Kors, as well as for many plasma weaponry, including the
weaponry installed on so-called Yorik-Ets, swarms of which surrounded the worldships,
there were also other remarkable kinds of deadly things, including Qworlth Skaal, also
known as Dread Weapons.
Gigantic worm-like creatures that were engineers by Yuuzhan Vong scientists, were used as projectiles
for this kind of weaponry and during the battle they were usually sent towards enemy starships,
space stations and fortified planetary citadels with the aim to stick to the target and bore
holes in it to literally suck out everything into their deadly insides, ''drinking''
all of the substances and objects present on the ships and inside stations and fortresses:
air, fuel, weapons and, of course, its unhappy inhabitants.
Koros Strohnas could indeed be called the pearl of the Yuuzhan Vong Fleet, the very
instrument with which this race of aggressive devourers from outer space could conquer and
destroy a great number of planets that were unlucky enough to be on their path.
We should also never forget about the fact that Koroses, despite their huge sizes, were
relatively fast ships.
Of course, in the atmosphere, thanks to the friction force, the speed of these giants
fell dramatically and could rarely exceed the mark of 400 kilometers per hour.
And It is quite understandable – those weren't some starfighters, those were huge rocks,
gigantic cities flying in the skies.
Nonetheless, in space Koros Strohnas felt just like a fish would feel in water, exceeding
the acceleration of 1100 g, the acceleration that is unachievable by our engines, developed
by human beings, even in the wet dreams of some crazy geniuses.
Of course, any Imperial Star Destroyer was faster than any given Yuuzhan Vong Worldcraft,
it was almost twice as fast in the vacuum of space, such speeds were not surprising
for the inhabitants of the Star Wars Universe, but the very fact that such a huge coral object,
a real space-faring city could move so fast really terrified those who was unlucky enough
to meet them in the same solar system.
And thus, to sum up, we can say that Koros Strohna were one of the biggest military objects
ever built that had no problem moving around the vacuum of space and whose impressive weaponry
was the very factor that makes us consider Yuuzhan Vongs to be one of the most powerful
military organizations in the Galaxy Far Far Away, that could one-handedly confront and
withstand the might of the New Republic and whose military capabilities were only surpassed
by the Galactic Empire during its peak years.
However that is how our video is going to end.
