The Driller is the United Empire of Earth Navy military designation for a type of escort and troop carrier operated by the Vanduul. A capital ship, it has most often been observed accompanying large-sized Vanduul Clans during major raids. Declassified military reports indicate that Drillers have multiple turrets and front-facing ship to ship guns that are capable of immense firepower.[1]

It is capable of atmospheric flight and can be used to deploy Harvesters during raid to harvest resources.[2]
