Asteroid Dreadnought

"Stories have emerged of a supership disguised as a space rock. I'm not going to throw them out, but I emphasize that our source inside Patriim is unreliable."

- Colonel Haxen Delto in a report

The Asteroid Dreadnought was a rumored Imperial Navy dreadnought that was camouflaged as a space rock during the reign of the Empire. Haxen Delto stated in a report to Airen Cracken of Alliance Intelligence that he was not going to dismiss the information, although his source inside Patriim was unreliable.

Before the rise of the Empire, in the aftermath of the Naboo Crisis in the year 32 BBY, the Galactic Republic's Special Weapons Group developed designs for an automated battlemoon asteroid, the project, however, never passed the planning stages due to lack of funding as a result of the pacifist views of the government.

Behind the scenes
The concept of an asteroid ship was first seen in the now Star Wars Legends novel Children of the Jedi released in May of 1995, which featured the Eye of Palpatine, an asteroid supership. The asteroid supership was introduced into the new canon by the boxed set and reference book Star Wars: The Rebel Files, which was released on November 21, 2017 as the Asteroid Dreadnought, a rumored Imperial supership.
