- Terraforming Suite:
- Torrential Hyperdrive Booster
- Catapult Pressors: The Fanladi II has enough catapult pressors that every starfighter has its own catapult pressor, meaning that its entire starfighter complement can be launched simultaneously and at high speeds.
- Droid Mission Bays: holds up to a thousand of the following droids
- 20 Probe / Drone Deployers
- Bulwark: Like the original Fanladis, the Mon Mothma has multi-layered shielding which allows it to at least put up one set of shields in a given area even if some of the ship's other shielding systems are damaged or down. Additionally, the Mon Mothma also has a Starlight Scutum shield system and a Phalanx Shield System, making it exceptionally difficult to take down on the battlefield.
- Mobile Base: In many ways, the Mon Mothma more resembles a spaceborne base than a warship: much of the interior is devoted to providing living quarters and logistical facilities to the hundreds of small craft and thousands of troops onboard. The Mon Mothma can provide enough small craft and troops to take over many Mid Rim worlds by itself.
- Command & Control: The Mon Mothma has five separate bridges and multiple communications systems to coordinate all of the small craft and troops carried onboard. While one bridge is dedicated to running the ship, two of the other bridges are solely used by flight control personnel, one bridge controls terraforming operations, while the last one bridge is reserved for use by the troop commanders.
- World Shaper: The Mon Mothma replaced some of its troop barracks with terraforming equipment derived from the Salyrini class and colonist cabins, allowing the Mon Mothma to rehabilitate habitats devastated by war and environmental catastrophes, or alternatively, shape existing environments to the Directorate's liking, and create colonies.
- Low Agility: The Mon Mothma is not an agile craft due to its size and the sheer bulk of passengers and cargo it carries.
- Low Speed: The Mon Mothma is not a fast vessel on account of its bulk and internal dedication to carrying large numbers of passengers and cargo.
The Mon Mothma is one of the few Fanladi-class Star Carriers in Directorate service, and probably the most heavily modified. As the Directorate does not have a large number of ground forces, the Mon Mothma was instead retrofitted to act as an advanced colonizing vessel, replacing its troop barracks with advanced terraforming technology and a large number of passenger cabins. Additionally, as the original Fanladi was only lightly armed, the shipwrights added a number of larger weapons to the vessel, making it quite capable of fending off attacks on new and budding colonies. Since its retrofit, the Mon Mothma has helped create nearly a dozen corporate settlements for the Directorate, most of which are mining colonies on worlds formerly too inhospitable to make gathering their resources worthwhile. It has also been deployed on humanitarian missions to rebuild worlds devastated by the Bryn'adul Empire's conquest of the South-eastern quadrant of the galaxy.
