Mynock Accidents

Mynocks are commonly known as a species of parasites that feed on and absorb the energy of space ships. However, they are less known for their role in the destruction of thousands of once-sturdy air craft.

Mynock collisions with windshields of star destroyers, cruisers, shuttles, frigates, and other space ships are the single leading cause of air traffic deaths, up 4.7% from last year, in the galaxy. Although erroneously reported damaged as the result of an incident with Kyp Durron and the Sun Crusher, Admiral Daala's Gorgon was actually the victim of a midair collision with a pack of Mynocks heading to Tattooine for the winter, thus plunging it into the Cauldron Nebula.
