The Hitac-Mothership was an Alien only available during the Hitac Event in September 2012, February 2013, November 2013 , May 2014 and September 2014,January 2016. These aliens were fairly large and inflicted massive damage upon any nearby ships. Each Hitac-Mothership had six Hitac-Minions attached to it, and was protected by an Insta-Shield, meaning only when the six Hitac-Minions were destroyed, could the Hitac-Mothership be destroyed.
