Throat Slasher is a special version of Yorik-Akaga used by the Yuuzhan Vong assassin Tsaa Qalu. As such, it was turned into a deadly weapon meant to seek the target, destroy it within seconds and then quickly vanish into shadows. Besides being a better ship in general, the vessel was additionally fitted for this task with a cloaking device (which even prevents it from being found by already launched missiles), detector of hidden units, a beam weapon, shield penetrating rocks and the "Onslaught" maneuver. In this short state, the ship sacrifices some of its speed for better damage output, which allows it to hang behind slower enemies and unload full salvo into them. To compensate for the vulnerability caused by the loss of speed, the pilot engages in evasive maneuvers in order to avoid incoming fire.
To sum it up, the ship is designed for quick hit&run tactics, using combination of stealth (displayed on the 2nd mini-picture) and temporally improved damage output.

That stealth mesh in the second pic, that's damned good looking. It also looks like the Yorik is in mating season, displaying its colours, attempting to attact a mate.
The female slashes the throat of the male then after mating, like a few animal species do.
