  Yorik-et - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki
The yorik-et, referred to as a coralskipper or skip by New Republic forces, was the Yuuzhan Vong version of a starfighter during their invasion of the Galaxy.
The coralskipper's weapon was a small appendange at the front of the vehicle which released a flaming magma rock that could seriously damage enemy craft.
Coralskippers were not capable of traveling for long-range travel in space and had to rely on a larger vessel to transport them across space.

The words had barely left his mouth when the lead coralskipper dropped with mind-boggling velocity and was suddenly beneath the Falcon and firing up at her, plasma geysering from its gun emplacements.
The destroyed coralskipper's wingmate veered and glued himself to the Falcon's tail, battering it with projectiles and refusing to be unseated, despite a slew of daring turns and evasions Han took them through.
The coralskipper pilot, realizing the position he was suddenly in, climbed slightly, unintentionally placing himself in the overlapping field of fire between the Falcon's upper and lower batteries.

 List of Star Wars starfighters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coralskippers are mainly used for close-range combat with small space crafts such as X-wings or A-wings.
This hood also connects it to the yammosk, a creature bio-engineered as a battle controller, preventing collisions between the crafts and allowing "pack tactics" to be used by wings of coralskippers (a wing normally consists of six coralskippers.) Coralskippers are not designed for long-range travel and must often rely on larger vessels for transportation.
A coralskipper does not appear on standard scans from a starship: scanners must be tuned towards biological targets to identify any Yuuzhan Vong ships.

 Imperial Remnant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At that time, the Imperial Starfleet was mainly fielding smaller and often aging warships of various numbers and types, such as the Vindicator-class and the nigh-ancient Dreadnaught-class, which had been commissioned as heavy cruisers decades before the Clone Wars.
The main Imperial starfighters seen in action against the Yuuzhan Vong were the TIE interceptor and the TIE Defender, and although they acquitted themselves well enough against Yuuzhan Vong Coralskipper fighters, they were never quite as effective against Yuuzhan Vong craft as "stutterfire"-capable Galactic Alliance craft.
Curiously, the SoroSuub Preybird and Incom I-7 Howlrunner fighters that were increasingly becoming the backbone of the Imperial fighter force prior to the Galactic Civil War’s conclusion seem to have taken a backseat to TIE fighter designs.

 Obsidian Forum Community > Vong Mentioning in KOTOR 1. . .
Now if you could point out a specific example in NJO where coralskippers came without the aid of a nearby ship, planet, or whatnot, that would be greatly appreciated.
So I doubt that a coralskipper would appear in the Star Wars Galaxy between 3958-3956 B.B.Y., (that being The Second Sith War, which is what KOTOR plays out) especially when the Vong started preparations for the invasion during the days of the Empire.
However, what further proves that the ship in question is NOT A CORALSKIPPER is the fact that Corran states on 151, "A ship this size could have a hundred warriors on it." A coralskipper is a fighter, not a troop transport.
