Originally a corporate vessel, the supply ship was adapted to compensate for the inadequate cargo capacities of other craft in the Confederate Navy, particularly the Lucrehulk-class battleship. The supply ship was over one thousand meters wide and housed several hangar bays, which could accommodate 12 C-9979 landing craft to transport the battle droid infantry of the Separatist Droid Army to battlefields across the galaxy. Being able to store over five million metric tons of cargo, it was primarily used for arms and resupply shipments to the organic defense armies in the Confederacy military, often supporting planetary campaigns from orbit. It was armed with point-defense laser cannons and could be crewed by B1 battle droids overseen by a T-series tactical droid.   The Big Boy was purchased by an over ambitious Merchant at the end of the Clone Wars and was converted to be a biologically crewed merchant ship. The ship soon proved to be too expensive to run except for the most profitable, full cargo runs, and the owner was soon in the hole and still bleeding capital. Abandoned the ship in the Anbrai Debris Ring and claimed the insurance on it, claiming its loss to pirates.   The Separatist Suplly Ship was 908.78 meters long and 910.35 meters tall, while its armored hull and barbell shape afforded a width of 1257.32 meters. It was armed with point-defense laser cannons but also relied upon other ships for protection. Its body housed a number of hangar bays, which could carry 12 C-9979 landing craft, each of which had a wingspan of 149 meters and a twenty-four-meter height. The main hangar, accessible via an aft entry, was located in the midsection of the ship's starboard hemisphere and was equipped with ceiling cranes and other equipment for cargo loading and storage. At the end of the main hangar was the ship's reactor room, which was protected from outside access by ray shielding. The Separatist supply ship was painted with the blue livery of the Confederacy, as well as with a Confederate roundel on both sides of its hull. It had an overall cargo capacity of five million metric tons. It was equipped with a hyperdrive. The transport could be commanded by a single T-series tactical droid, while B1 battle droids made up the bridge team as well as the main hangar's cargo supply crew.   The Separatist supply ship served as a heavy transport in the Confederate Navy during the Clone Wars, fulfilling the Confederacy's needs by compensating for the insufficient cargo capacity of other craft such as the Lucrehulk-class battleship. Originally a corporate transport, the supply ship was converted for wartime service in the Confederate Navy, proving to be a more dedicated cargo carrier than other vessels. It became a valuable combat asset during lengthy conflicts due to its massive size and capacity, which allowed it to serve as a transport for C-9979 landing craft and their troops, the battle droids of the Separatist Droid Army. Yet it primarily contributed to the Separatist war machine by supplying arms, power supplies, and other material-for example, long-range missiles-to organic defense armies like the Umbaran militia. Supply ships could be employed in campaigns from orbit, providing weaponry and supplies to ground forces on the planetary surface, while their isolated position in space would allow them to be defended by warships of the Confederate Navy. The supply ship initially served as a corporate vessel until being repurposed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, becoming an integral part of the supply chain of the Confederate Navy. As more member worlds contributed their organic-based armies to the Separatist war machine, supply ships were used to support them during campaigns against the Galactic Republic, meeting a variety of replenishment needs, in addition to ferrying detachments of the Separatist Droid Army to the front lines. Due to its new role, it became known as the Separatist supply ship, or alternatively the Separatist support ship or Separatist transport.
