Motherships are gigantic scouting ships that are carried by the Harvester Mothership. They are controlled by Supreme Commanders that take their orders directly from Harvester Queens. A mothership is of considerable size: it is eight hundred kilometers long across its longest axis (length) and five hundred and fifty kilometers along its shortest (height). It is made up of two visible portions: an irregular dome on top, and two flipper-like appendages that hang beneath.
