Sith Dreadnaught cruiser

The Sith Dreadnaught, sometimes known as a Dreadnaught cruiser or simply a Dreadnaught, was a type of warship used in the Navy of the Brotherhood of Darkness during the closing stages of the New Sith War.

It is not known what relationship, if any, the Sith Dreadnaught bore to the Mandalorian Dreadnaught of the Mandalorian Wars or the Dreadnaught Cruiser of the late Galactic Republic and the Galactic Civil War. Armed with powerful heavy laser cannon in forward-firing batteries, they were designated as cruisers, larger than corsair battleships and starfighters, but probably smaller than a Sith Destroyer.

In 1,002 BBY, three ships of this type formed part of Lord Kaan's Sith fleet during the First Battle of Ruusan. These three ships were considered a deadly threat to two Hammerhead-class cruisers that had lost their shields to a fighter attack, but without fighter support of their own, they were vulnerable to four squadrons of Aurek fighters.
