Droid Control Ship

this was the name of a unique Trade Federation battleship which was heavily modified for use in controlling the immense automated armies of the Federation. Based on the same Hoersch-Kessel Drive cargo platform, the droid control ship resembled the ring-like battleships it supported. However, the control ship was different in that powerful sensory rectennae and broadcast transmission towers studded the rear of the ship, allowing the droid control ship to hover in high orbit - up to 16,500 kilometers away - while maintaing transmission link-ups with ground-based forces. Once the other battleships had deployed their droids, they often moved out of the system entirely until the invasion was over. This left the droid control ship behind to handle the operations of the droid army. Armament and the on-board complement of droid hardware was similar to that of the Federation's battleships. However, shielding was much great on the control ship, providing an added measure of defense. Dspite the upgraded sheilding and plating, droid control ships were easy targets for the opponents of the Federation, and the loss of a droid control ship eliminated all the battle droids on the ground. This led to the development of a mobile control unit which could be deployed on the ground and moved about to avoid capture. During the early stages of the Clone Wars, these mobile units were held in reserve, until a droid control ship was damaged or destroyed. Then, the mobile unti was activated, reanimating the droids and catching Republic forces by surprise.
