The Sleen Foraging Fleet.
-----------------------------------------------
The Sleen send out foraging fleets, from the grand nomadic fleet, to locate and harvest planets with vegetation. 

The grand nomadic fleet consists of thousands of vessels including factory, construction and dry dock ships. This grand nomadic fleet always keeps at least a hundred lightyears between itself and the nearest star system.

The foraging fleet's modis operandi is remain outside a star system and send in a frigate to scout for any vegetated planets and evaluate possible hostile resistance.

Next destroyers enter the star system and begin to eliminate any minor hostile security outposts at a star system's perimeter. They are occasionally supported by a light cruiser.

Next a dreadnaught supported by battlecruisers and cruisers approaches the targetted planet and begins securing it for harvesting. The Sleen will land warriors and eliminate any hostile ground installations an forces.

Finally the harvesters are brought in to strip harvest the planet.

Over a period of weeks or months harvesters will shuttle between the grand nomadic fleet and the planet, filling their holds with harvested vegetation. These harvester routes are patroled and protected by Sleen destroyers and frigates with larger warships on station at periodic intervals.

the Sleen will often deploy an ambush flotila of large warships at the edge of a star system to head off any relief and rescue fleets sent by the race owning the planet being harvested.

All Sleen ships are extremely tough and resilient. This makes them able to soak up a large amount of structural damage.
