March 4, starwars.fandom.com—Twenty years ago, Star Wars fans were eagerly awaiting the REVENGE OF THE SITH, exploring the depths of Nar Shaddaa in the KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC II, and beginning to build WOOKIEEPEDIA—the Star Wars wiki. As an ever-growing community of volunteers, the Wookieepedia project now celebrates its 20th year.
Our encyclopedia officially reached 200,000 articles in February, 2025. This was only possible with the work of hundreds upon hundreds of fans over the past twenty years. Most Wookieepedians started off editing with little to no writing or coding experience, but our efforts have brought us closer to the goal of creating the most accurate, comprehensive, and well-presented resource about all things Star Wars.
Since Wookieepedia's tenth anniversary in 2015, we have expanded the breadth, depth, and quality of our documentation of both the Star Wars Legends and the new canon continuities, as well as coverage of Star Wars media and production behind the scenes. Wookieepedia has also been building a more friendly and welcoming community. Informed by our contributors' experiences, we have launched ongoing efforts in revamping our policies to be clearer and more fair, improving accessibility, and developing new editing tutorials.
Since 2015, editor recruitment has advanced on Wookieepedia, with the great majority of the current administrators and review board members having joined those groups in recent years. The past ten years has also seen the progress of the Discussions forum and the launch of twenty-two new collaborative WookieeProjects. These include the Project Stardust initiative focusing on essential topics and Project Pride's efforts to improve the wiki's coverage of LGBTQIA+ topics. Most external links on Wookieepedia now have backup archival links to keep a better record of the ever-changing Internet, and bot systems have automated many monotonous site maintenance tasks such as page archivals for the status article peer review system.
Our work continues unabated. Thousands more pages need to be created, lack citations, await expansion, and could use more images. All the while, the franchise continues to grow and require updates. As we enter our third decade, we would love for more readers to join our ranks! May the Force be with us in the next twenty years… ✨
The Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, also known as the Assertor-class Command Dreadnought, was a class of Star Dreadnought manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards that served in the Galactic Empire. One of the largest vessels in the Imperial Navy in terms of size and power, it was characterized by its long and thin arrow-shaped hull. The dreadnought boasted a large array of armaments and utilities to fulfill its roles as a command ship, sector patrol vessel, and fleet operations craft. Introduced between 19 BBY and 3 BBY, when the Empire experimented on larger battlecruiser models, few of the large warships were built.
The Assertor-class dreadnought saw use in the Imperial Era during the time of the Rebel Alliance, with the lead ship of the class, the Assertor, and its sister ship, the Wrath, being laid down prior to the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, both ships and their battle groups conducted anti-Alliance operations along the border between the Mid and Outer Rim Territories. (Read more…)
