A-vek Iiluunu Carrier

*Homebrew Reference Book: New Jedi Order Campaign Guide*

A-vek Iiluunu are Yuuzhan Vong Capital Ships used as fighter carriers during the Yuuzhan Vong Invasion. The A-vek Iiluunu Carrier appears as a flat, ovoid stone, from which protrudes a number of spindly, branch-like appendages. Each of these carriers is used to carry up to 144 Coralskippers, 4 wings of 36 fighters each, the equivalent of a New Republic *Endurance*-Class Fleet Carrier.

Although the carrier is armed with numerous Plasma Projectors and Dovin Basals, it was not designed as a warship. After releasing its Coralskipper wings into combat, an A-vek Iiluunu would retreat to the edge of the battlezone, providing support for the larger vessels.

An A-vek Iiluunu also serves as a mothership for any returning Starships needing to be rejuvenated before heading back into the fray. At the end of a battle, the A-vek Iiluunu recalls its Coralskippers, and any remaining fighters "Orphaned" from their original mothership.

### Tactical Fire

An A-vek Iiluunu Carrier is a superb Starfighter carrier but is not capable of front-line duty. As a Standard Action, an A-vek Iiluunu Carrier can forgo all attacks to provide Tactical Fire to all squares in a 2-square radius around itself. All allied Starships of Gargantuan size or smaller within that area increase their damage dice by one step (eg. 6d10x2 to 6d12x2).
