Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught

Mandator I-class Star Dreadnought The massive Mandator I-class Star Dreadnoughts helped form the Kuat Sector Defense Fleet, working alongside Procurator-class Star Battlecruisers.

The Mandator I-class had a main reactor large enough to protrude from the "belly" of the ship, similar to the ventral bulb of the later Imperial-series.

The original Mandator was only equipped with a limited hyperdrive that restricted it from long-distance, transgalactic travel. It is unknown whether this limitation was rectified in the Mandator II model.

The Kuat Defense Fleet, and consequently the two Mandator sub-classes, would become a fully-fledged Republic military unit during the latter part of the Clone Wars. This happened when all home fleets were incorporated into the Republic Navy, in a centralization effort spearheaded by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, following the Battle of Rendili.

Since the Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts were said to be the largest ships constructed by the time of the Battle of Hoth in the Galactic Civil War, it stands to reason that the Mandator-series ships were slightly smaller.

Trivia
Its name comes from the Latin word Mandatum, which means either "command" or "order", and that would imply that this class had a command-role similar to Executor.
