Exploration's Hand

The Exploration's Hand is an aircraft carrier and base ship used by the Star Fox Mercenary Group. It was bought from a scrap yard and refurbished to like-new condition by Peppy Hare, and was the intended mothership for the new Star Fox Group, until the Great Fox was returned from service in the Cornerian Fleet. It finds use by the Star Fox Group as a secondary mothership, to be used in the event that the group needs to split up for long periods of time. The Exploration's Hand is incapable of atmospheric flight, but is able to maintain a stable orbit with ease.
