Nursery Ships are saucer-like starships used as nurseries for transporting children across the galaxy. They can hold thousands of children and use levitation beams to transport them from a planet's surface to the ship.
The Five-Straighten Classabindi Nursery Fleet is most likely composed of hundreds of Nursery Ships that collect Adipose from their breeding planets.
After the Matron Cofelia had seeded and bred Adipose on Earth in defiance of the Shadow Proclamation in 2009, an Intergalactic Class nursery of the Adiposian First Family traveled to Earth to collect the children. (DW: Partners in Crime)
- It is unknown if Nursery Ships are operated solely by the Adipose or if they are exclusively a part of the Nursery Fleet.
[edit] Trivia
- The Adipose Nursery ship seems closely inspired by, and very similar in design to the mothership from the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
