The Puppeteer-class Drone Frigate was developed as flying platform for 24 Gun Drones, each one of them was controlled by AI systems on frigate, mixed with tracking devices each drone possessed. Two frigates mixed with gravity well generator could easily destroy a few squadrons of fighters and corvettes without risking any damage on it's own. Puppeteers were unique frigates containing high-tech systems. Most of hull was filled with small docks allowing to Launch and Retrieve drones each time it was required. An onboard phased disassembler array allowed the frigate to supplement drones when some of them were destroyed. Finally large transmitter placed on nose section of ship allowed it to transmit commands to each of 24 drones at a time.
