Warspheres are effectively flying towns comprising a central section primarily housing the main [[warp engine]] and outer sections with maneuvering thrusters. While the engines are reliable, they are also of quite poor power output making Warspheres extremely slow, however they are sufficiently powerful to enable planetary landings. Once on the surface the thrusters are often used to bury the Warsphere, presumably to enable it to revert to its role as a traditional town. Warspheres are fairly rare and so will only be deployed in situations where the Kroot are getting a substantial payment or bonus.{{Fn|1}}
Unlike the [[Tau]], the Kroot have no difficulty using warp-drives to travel between stars, though how they do this is unknown to the . Their exact methods of doing so has been kept secret from their Tauemployers. They appear to have a natural affinity for navigating towards inhabitable planets, almost like a sixth sense.{{Fn|1}}
