The Confederacy of Independent Systems had access to particularly unique animal nurseries. After the Separatist Council was formed on Geonosis, the Geonosians shared their animal training techniques with the member systems. This allowed the Separatists to train acklays, nexus, and reeks. Building an animal nursery allowed an army to use mounted troopers.
Different types of animal nurseries (Naboo Animal Nursery to the right, Gungan Animal Nursery to the left, Imperial Animal Nursery at the top, Rebel Animal Nursery at the bottom, Trade Federation Animal Nursery to the top right).
The Gungan variants utilized the standard Gungan architecture, which included electrostatic bubbles. As such, they also possessed three miniature electrostatic bubbles (two spherical, one cone-shaped) that were presumably storage places. A feeding pit was also located nearby, as well as two pylons in front of the entrance.
The Rebel Alliance variants possessed a prismatic generator as well as a tower generator, and utilized timber for the animals. A drinking pen was also nearby.
The Galactic Empire variants encompassed a large garage area, with a tower and two power supplies nearby. It also utilized a water basin and some tufts of hay.
The Trade Federation variants of the animal nursery contained two generators and a tower, and utilized green plants and a gray matter-like food as food sources for the troughs.
The Royal Naboo Security Forces variants utilized Nabooian architecture, and possessed three towering containers, and two troughs for food and water, with hay being used for the former.
Unlike most nurseries, the Wookiees did not use the typical garage-like method. Instead, it possessed several stairs inside the building, with the main floor possessing lots of greenery, fruits, and wood. It also had troughs for food and water, a makeshift tower, and two containers nearby.
They utilized standard Geonosian architecture, due to their close ties to the Separatists. It included the nursery itself, two pylons, and a tower containing a bell for signaling animals.
The variants utilized by the Grand Army of the Republic utilized standard Republic architecture, and possessed a generator and at least one hose over the door. In addition, it also utilized hay for at least part of the floor.
