Drone Ships are the slow, floating vessels that the Scrin apparently use to establish ground control at a particular location, much like the MCVs of human forces. When GDI's Ion Cannons, under the direction of Redmond Boyle, attacked the Scrin ships while on there approach to Earth, they split into a vast number of these smaller craft. While lacking in speed, Drone Ships seem to be heavily armored and, being aircraft, may move over any terrain to deploy. (It should be noted, however, that they are only capable of low-level flight and their progress may be impeded by tall structures or landforms.)

Once a desirable location has been found, Drone Ships will land and 'implant' themselves into the ground, at which point the Scrin foreman may begin base construction. The resulting building is known as a Drone Platform.
