Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser

Development:

The Dreadnaught Class Heavy Cruiser was first built by Rendili Drive Yards several years before the Battle of Naboo. At 600 meters long, these ships were technologically advanced for their day, but with massive manning requirements, high maintinance, and low speeds, soon became obsolete.

History:

The Dreadnaughts quickly became staples of the Republic Navy, but were equally as quickly rendered obsolete. Six were used in Outbound Flight, an ill-fated "galaxy shot" project; aimed at exploring outside the galaxy. The Katana fleet, 200 slave circut equipped Dreadnaughts, was another major project, also a faliure, when the crew went insane and made a random jump into hyper. They were later discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn, and proved critical in his assault against the New Republic. They were used in the Battle of Coruscant, but were phased out during the Clone Wars in exchange for KDY designs.
