The Yuuzhan Vong Coralskippers are my first attempt at painting minis. I added the stats, mission details and such in a post below.

How the Vong ships work? I hope they are very different from the "regular" ships.

They work on a Dovin Basal energy system that's similar to HUGE ship mechanics. If anyone is interested, I'll post pics of the stats, pilot cards, tokens and the mission I drew up for them.

Nice! Yes, I would want to see what you came up with.

I would also be interested

Here you go. I made a Yuuzhan Vong-specific damage deck too (2 of every crit + 7 direct hit cards). The 4th pic is a layout of all the components I made for this mission.

Some of the work is borrowed over months of scouring the web for pics and ideas, so if anyone sees any of their work here, speak up and get credit.

And here's the mission:

SKIRMISH AT HELSKA IV
The Skirmish at Helska IV marked the beginning of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Arriving at the Helska system, unaware of the Yuuzhan Vong presence, Kyp Durron, Miko Reglia and the rest of the Dozen-and-Two Avengers headed into the Battle of Helska against the Praetorite Vong.
MISSION SETUP
Rebel: 125 squad points consisting of Kyp Durron, Miko Reglia and any non-unique pilots flying any combination of the following ships:
- B-wings
- X-wings
- Z-95 Headhunters
- A-wings
Yuuzhan Vong: 100 squad points
The players take turns placing six asteroid tokens from the core set in the play area. Players cannot place an asteroid token at Range 1-2 of any edge of the play area or at Range 1 of another asteroid token.
The Rebel player places his ships within Range 1 of the Rebel edge.
The Yuuzhan Vong player places his ships within range 1 of any edge. He cannot place a ship within Range 1-3 of a Rebel ship.
The Yuuzhan Vong player has the inititative.
SPECIAL RULES
Yuuzhan Vong ships use Dovin Basal tokens, much like HUGE ships use energy. Focus, evade and stress tokens do not affect Yuuzhan Vong ships.
Yuuzhan Vong ships gain Dovin Basal tokens in the following manner:
- 2 Dovin Basal tokens for a green maneuver
- 1 Dovin Basal token for a white maneuver
- 0 Dovin Basal tokens for a red maneuver
Activation Phase
1.) Reveal Dial
2.) Gain Dovin Basal tokens: Gain Dovin Basal tokens according to your maneuver. The maximum number of Dovin Basal tokens that a Yuuzhan Vong ship can gain per round is 2. Unused Dovin Basal tokens are discarded during the End phase.
3.) Allocate Dovin Basal tokens: Allocate Dovin Basal tokens by placing them on any cards requiring Dovin Basal energy for activation.
4.) Move
5.) Use Dovin Basal tokens: If allocated, use Dovin Basal tokens to perform a Boost action and/or a Shield Boost action (if equipped).
The Shield Boost action lasts for the duration of the round (unless removed by a hit) and expires during the End phase if unused. To use the Shield Boost action again, another Dovin Basal token must be allocated to it.
Combat Phase
A Yuuzhan Vong ship may attack with its primary weapon or, if allocated, use a Dovin Basal token to use the Dovin Basal Tractor Beam (if equipped).
If the shield drain upgrade is equipped, a Yuuzhan Vong ship may also, if allocated, use a Dovin Basal token to remove one shield token from an enemy ship it is attacking at Range 1. The shield token is removed before defense dice are rolled. A Yuuzhan Vong ship may strip a shield token and fire its primary weapon or use its Dovin Basal Tractor Beam in the same round.
OBJECTIVES
Rebel Victory: Destroy all Yuuzhan Vong ships. If Kyp Durron is the last remaining Rebel ship, he may flee off the Rebel edge for a draw.
Yuuzhan Vong Victory: Destroy all Rebel ships.
