[edit] Characteristics
The Sub-Carrier could transport mini-subs piloted by individual B1 battle droids[2] and autonomous Manta droid subfighter.[3]
[edit] 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.[2]
The Sub-Carrier resembled a Vulture droid in shape, but dwarfed such craft in sheer size and volume. Each carrier was so big, entire skirmishes could be fought on the topside deck.[2]
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 transform like the Vulture droid.[1]
[edit] 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.
