Nursery ship

Nursery ships were saucer-shaped ships operated by the Adipose. They were used to collect newborn Adipose from their breeding planets. They were large enough to carry several million young Adipose and were equipped with levitation beams to transport the Adipose safely from the planet's surface into the craft.

A single craft, Intergalactic Class and under the control of the Adipose First Family, arrived at Earth in 2009 to bring back a new generation of Adipose, seeded by Matron Cofelia of the Five-Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet in defiance of the Shadow Proclamation. (DW: Partners in Crime)

Trivia

 * The Adipose Nursery ship seems closely inspired by the mothership from the film "Close encounters of the third kind".
