== [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] vs. [[The Battlestar]] vs. [[The Mothership]] ==
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: An aircraft carrier that flies. Usually planet bound. [[Marvel Comics|The SHIELD Helicarrier]] is probably the most famous example.
* [[The Battlestar]]: A hybrid of the [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]] and a battleship, made for space battle. Often carries some sort of [[Wave Motion Gun]] for extra awesome. The ''Galactica'' from [[Battlestar Galactica Classic|both versions of ''Battlestar Galactica'']] is the [[Trope Maker]].
* [[The Mothership]]: [[The Battlestar]] taken [[Up to Eleven]]. Usually the size of a large city and is usually used as Command Central for the invading hordes. Destroying it usually means near-instant defeat for the enemy. The capital ships from ''[[Independence Day]]'' are the [[Trope Codifier|codifiers]] in modern Sci-Fi.
