IMHO the host ship was secificly designed or at least hevily modified to
allow it be act as a tender for the Omega Squadron.
The tender is a very good idea, as while a star furie can and does
travel great distances, it must use a lot of consumables (hydorgan and
oxygen for life support).
I do remember eps where power became a serious issue in a starfurie
(episode anyone).
