Dreadnought

"These things are fleet killers."

―Poe Dameron, to Leia Organa

An Executor-class Dreadnought served as a terror weapon of unimaginable size.

Dreadnoughts were massive capital ships that were a minimum of 5 kilometers in length. Dreadnoughts included the Providence-class and the Subjugator-class used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, as well as the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought used by the First Order. Some Super Star Destroyers of the Galactic Empire, such as the Executor-class, and the First Order's Mega-class were referred to as Star Dreadnoughts.
