Mothership

The Mothership is a base of operations for the Star Fox team. It is essentially the equivalent of the Great Fox in Star Fox 2.

Appearance
The Mothership is a carrier with twin launching bays and a centre "neck" bridge. It has the Star Fox team's name on the sides and a Cornerian coat of arms on the front left hatch.

Role in the game
In Star Fox 2, Arwings are launched from a large spacecraft carrier known only as the Mothership. It does not have any installed weapon systems, so it cannot enter battle. However, it could hold and repair the team's fighters. The Mothership can also warp to planets that the team had liberated from the control of Andross, stationed in orbit around the planet.

Nintendo World
The Mothership appeared in Nintendo World.

Trivia

 * Structurally, the Mothership resembles the White Base battleship from the mecha anime Mobile Suit Gundam, including the two front-placed launch bays where each franchises respective battleships/mechs (the Arwings and the Gundam) emerge from.
 * The Mothership has a striking resemblance to the Great Fox seen in Star Fox Command. Additionally, it is called the "Great Fox" in Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics.
