Separatist Sub-Carrier
The Separatist Sub-Carrier was an underwater carrier vessel.
Characteristics[]
The Sub-Carrier could transport Mini-subs piloted by individual B1-Series battle droids[3] and autonomous manta droid subfighter.[2]
History[]
The mini-subs would exit through tubes located on the underside of the carrier. This was a dangerous maneuver, as Galactic Republic SCUBA troopers could ambush mini-subs on their way out, and there was no way of turning back once a sub was racing through the launch-tube.[3]
The Sub-Carrier resembled a vulture droid in shape, but dwarfed such craft in sheer size and volume. Each carrier was so big that entire skirmishes could be fought on the topside deck.[3]
The Xi Char provided the blueprints for the Sub-Carrier to the Trade Federation free of charge for not being able to figure out how to make the manta droid subfighter transform like the vulture droid.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Separatist Sub-Carrier somewhat resembles an unused destroyer droid carrier for Attack of the Clones, except it had four legs instead of two.
