The Yuuzhan Vong name for this—ship, station, creature, what you will—translates as "seedship". I suppose a biologist might call it an ecospheric blastoderm. This is an egg that will give birth to an entire world.Vergere to Jacen Solo
The Sh'rip Sh'pa, translated into Basic as seedship, was a Yuuzhan Vong freighter that carried supplies and equipment needed for Vongforming captured worlds.
Characteristics
Each vessel was built like an enormous gemstone, and its facets were a dozen meters in size. The yaret-kor could be moved to different fire-arcs, thanks to the faceted construction of the vessel.
