In first edition, you deploy from some card ability (unless you're deploying from being destroyed, in which case it happens all at once using the rules on Docked). So if you're the Gozanti with Docking Clamps, for example, then you deploy using the ability text on the Gozanti card: after executing a maneuver, you may deploy up to 2 docked ships. Ghost + Phantom has different ability text than the Gozanti (worded similarly, but still a distinct ability). The Hound's Tooth Zed isn't even technically docked; the z-95 just pops into existance when the YV-666 dies.

Second edition cleans and polishes this quite a bit.

I hope that helps!
