The Mandator-class Dreadnaught of the Mandator line was a type of dreadnought[1] in the naval forces of the Galactic Empire. The Mandator belonged to the family of Imperial Navy dreadnoughts that included the Bellator-class dreadnought and the Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, the largest member of that family.[2] In 0 BBY,[3] General Jan Dodonna sent a rebel communication in which he postulated that a capital ship would have to be at least the size of a Mandator-class Dreadnaught to supply power for a superlaser and that the laser would still not have enough strength to destroy a planet.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
In the current Star Wars canon, the Mandator-class Dreadnaught was introduced in the Star Wars Roleplaying sourcebook Lead by Example, which was published by Fantasy Flight Games[2] on February 4, 2016,[4] for the Star Wars: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game system.[2] The vessel was later fully identified in reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: Rebel Dossier, written by Jason Fry and published[1] on December 16 of that year.[5] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, the Mandator-class Star Dreadnaught was first mentioned in the 2002 reference book Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Incredible Cross-Sections, written by Curtis Saxton.[6]
