The Visitor Mothership was a class of starship that featured in V: The Series.
History
The motherships were massive spacecrafts that were constructed by an alien race known as the Visitors. At least fifty such vessels took part in the journey to the planet Earth where they hovered over major cities around the globe. (Episode: 1)
Background
Personnel numbers varied on each ship but at least several thousand were capable of being stationed on board a mothership. Each mothership hanger bay was capable of containing three dozen shuttlecraft with over two hundred similar bays present throughout the vessel. Deep inside the bowels of the vessel were large storage tanks that were able to hold tonnes of water.
The ships engine rooms were reported to be restricted areas due to high levels of radioactivity. Propulsion method was achieved through a highly effective gravity drive but it was quite large and took nearly half the ship to accomodate. Whilst a disadvantage in some respect, the drive allowed the motherships to travel at great velocities approaching the speed of light which they possessed for at least a hundred years. These drives had a secondary purpose as well since they served as a component for a Visitor doomsday device. When activated by two keys belonging to the high ranking officers of the ship, the act links a self destruct sequence to the gravity engine itself. This essentially turns the entire ship into a thermonuclear bomb of massive proportions and able to devastate entire planets by creating shockwaves that destroy entire continents. (Episode: 1)
