Blowing it up can render the multitudes of the once superior invaders [[DingDongTheWitchIsDead leaderless]] and rid the universe of the {{Macguffin}} kept inside it. There's no mistaking that taking it down will win an automatic victory for the good guys. But if the mothership is also a big fat battleship, the normal arsenal of weapons won't break its superior DeflectorShields (and will only prompt a response with its own WaveMotionGun), so our heroes are probably going to have to resort to some ZanyScheme to topple it.

* In Mikhail Akhmanov's ''Invasion'', the Faata starship definitely fits the trope. It is massive in size and, while not possessing powerful weapons itself, is able to launch numerous "battle modules" armed with {{antimatter}} weapons. The ship's DeflectorShield can easily shrug off a nuclear barrage with a combined strength in the gigaton range. It also carries a huge army of {{Super Soldier}}s ready to invade. The second novel ''Retaliation'' shows that it is just one of many Faata ships. In fact, three more are being constructed not to far from Earth.
* A gigantic disc-shaped automated mothership is encountered in one of ''TheHistoryOfTheGalaxy'' novels. It was created long ago by one of the [[{{Precursors}} Precursor]] races as an exploration and terraforming craft. Due to most of the galaxy being unknown to the race, they equipped the ship with powerful weapons and defenses, as well as the capability to manufacture and launch fighter drones. When the ship returned centuries later, it discovered many other ships in the systems occupied by the race. These were later models that were not designed for combat. Treating them as hostile, the ship started a war and eventually wiped them out by using its built-in ability to replicate itself given enough resources. When first encountered, the humans have trouble defeating the ship. Understandably, they're horrified to learn that there are hundreds more just like that.
