ADVANCED SYSTEMS
STRENGTHS
- Heavy Armaments: The Us-hrok Izai is very heavily armed, the surface of each ship lined with many different kinds of weapons.
- Large Hangar: The primary function of this ship is to carry smaller, starfighter-like, ships. Capable of holding a total of fifteen squadrons of ships at just 1,500 meters makes it a valuable asset in ferrying Yuuzhan Vong fighter-analogues to the field.
- Slow: The Us-hrok Izai may be powerful and it might have a large hangar but it is still slow nonetheless, outpaced by many other ships of its size.
- Low Maneuverability: Due to the general anatomy of the ship it is not suitable for making fast or precise turns, posing an issue when placed against ships that are more agile than it.
Designed by Yuuzhan Vong shapers to act as carriers for Yorik-et and Slayer ships, among other similarly sized ships, the Us-hrok Izai is a very versatile ship in the middle of the destroyer class range of ships. As the Sith Empire's engineering culture is to create things which are slightly more specialized to ensure tasks can be completed using tools, or in this case ships, best suited for a given job, the shaper caste of the Yuuzhan Vong residing within the Sith Empire attempted to do just that with this ship. Despite its slow speed and low maneuverability, the Us-hrok Izai is rather effective as a ship meant to enter the fray and unload a large swathe of fighter analogues while also capable of going toe-to-toe with destroyers due to its impressive armaments. The cognition throne and yammosks are additions meant to provide further synergy with other vessels in the Sith Imperial Armada.
