- A mother ship was a large spacecraft on which a smaller ship was carried, maintained, and launched. In 2266, after the USS Enterprise broke free of the tractor beam emitted by a pilot vessel, this vessel sent a weak distress call to its mother ship Fesarius. Communications officer Nyota Uhura doubted that the mother ship could have heard the call. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver" ) In 2365, when the USS Enterprise-D picked up an automated signal from a Federation shuttlecraft, Commander William T. Riker asked where the mother ship was located.

(TNG: "Time Squared" ) In 2366, after the Enterprise rescued the Romulan officer Patahk from Galorndon Core, after his scoutship Pi crash-landed on the planet, Commander Riker asked him if there was a mother ship that should be advised of his condition. (TNG: "The Enemy" ) In 2369, after Pup made its appearance in the Alpha Quadrant, Commander Benjamin Sisko asked Jadzia Dax if it was a probe. She responded that it might be; however, she wasn't finding signals that would indicate the alien spacecraft was maintaining contact with a mother ship. (DS9: "The Forsaken") In 2376, Dala, posing as Captain Kathryn Janeway, asked Zar, posing as Commander Chakotay, to place a master situation display of the USS Voyager on a viewscreen for Varn to see.

Almost every Mother Ship holds a captive Xenomorph Queen, which the Yautja warriors most likely release in an area for a Hunt. They are fully equipped with scout ships and insertion pods, capable of lauching a hunter onto a planet's surface and sending smaller Scout Ships onto Hunts. They also come with powerful beam weapons, powerful enough to punch a hole from the orbit of a planet down to the deep crust. They also have two versions of Self-Destruct Devices, one that detonates in a massive thermonuclear explosion, and another that implodes the ship, removing all trace of its existence.
