Drone Ship

Drone Ships are the slow, floating vessels that the Scrin apparently use to establish ground control at a particular location, much like the MCVs of human forces. When GDI's ion cannons, under the direction of Redmond Boyle, attacked the Scrin ships on Earth approach, they split into a vast number of these smaller craft. While lacking in speed, Drone Ships seem to be heavily armoured and, being aircraft, may move over any terrain to deploy.

Once a desirable location has been found Drone Ships will land and 'implant' themselves into the ground, at which point Scrin commanders may begin base construction. The resulting building is known as a Drone Platform.
