===Super-heavy===
Also Mothership-class, for all intents and purposes. These vessels are of such immense size that only large dedicated shipyards or the original Mothership itself are capable of building them. The two in possession by Somtaaw were built by the Mothership. Both have a default mass of 613'000 tons
, maximum scanning range of 12km and a top speed of 504kmph, with t. The six heavy gun turrets havinge a maximum reach of 6km each. E, but the actual effective range is significantly shorter. Both vessels are known by the '''Explorer''' name. 

====Fal-Corum====
The first Somtaaw vessel to leave the Mothership, the Fal-Corum would serve as the testbed for the technologies that would make the Kuun-Lan the superior of the two. Regardless, it is still a competent vessel.

====Kuun-Lan====
The Kuun-Lan, over the course of Cataclysm, turns from a huge mining vessel to an immense fully-fledged warship. Removing much of its original structure, the Kuun-Lan used the new space to house research facilities and the innumerable banks of storage and processor systems needed to keep a warfaring fleet in operation. In addition, the vessel boasts a feature no other Mothership-class spacecraft in the entire Hiigaran Navy can claim; a massive nuclear-based cannon that has a theoretical maximum reach of 900km. The target must however be significantly closer than 900km in order to maintain the effectiveness of the weapon.
