The Lucrehulk-class Core Ship or commonly known as the Core Ship is the ball part of the Lucrehulk-class battleship and Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship that detaches when they have to land B1 battle droids when their Crafts are not there. One version of the Lucrehulk Core Ship is a Battlesphere, built for listening post ships.
Characteristics[]
Outline[]
While fully capable spacecraft in their own right, the Core Ships are also able to reattach themselves to the outer ring hull of a Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship and thus could resume their role as command cores. Thanks to their modular design, the spherical vessels can also be attached to a number of other Federation ship-designs, like cruisers, destroyers, tankers and container vessels.
Weapons[]
The basic type of Core Ship is a transport equipped only with 280 Point-defense laser cannons, 21 Point-defense Quad turbolasers, 3 Turbolasers, and 48 Assault laser cannons. They are designed to carry supplies around the galaxy. It has a sensor array at the top of its command tower that was similar in style to the sensor globes on the later Star Destroyer models.
Dimensions[]
The hierarchical arrangement of living quarters on a core ship resembles that of Neimoidian hives. The command bridges, executive suites and treasuries are located in the Lucrehulk-class Core Ship's upper pole and towers. Lower levels are for junior managers, publicists and droid storage, and on at least some variants, much of the hull above the ship's equator served as a single vast hangar bay and flight deck for Vulture Droids.
Propulsion systems[]
Core Ships are designed to be capable of planetary landing, and equipped with massive repulsorlift suspensor units installed on their ventral section. In addition to these repulsorlift units, a ventral ion-thruster allowed for rapid take-off and escape from orbit. The Lucrehulk-class Core Ship is also equipped with numerous landing legs, though the landing gear required repulsorlift assistance to support the hull in launch posture for any length of time.
Complement[]
The Lucrehulk-class Core Ship's cross-section.
The Lucrehulk-class Core Ship can carry up to millions of Vulture-class droid fighters inside their hangar. The Core Ship can also carry 60,000 Battle Droids, several Multi-Troop Transports, Armored Assault Tanks, Platoon Attack Crafts, and several other Confederate and New Confederate craft.
History[]
The Clone Wars[]
The Last of the Droids[]
3 Lucrehulk-class Core Ships arrived at Lothal after Clu Lesser, Gume Saam, and Lott Dod failed to stop a Gozanti-class cruiser from picking up the troops. OOM-85's Core Ship was commanded by a B1 Battle Droid Captain and he reported the failure of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems leaders. They continued to serve on the Droid Control Ships throughout The Last of the Droids.
