| abstract | - The Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser, or simply the Dreadnaught, is a capital ship that was built for planetary occupation and space combat. It was first used by the Galactic Republic, but continues to find a place with the Galactic Empire, New Republic, local governments, and various other organizations. The keel of the Dreadnaught-class runs nearly 600 meters with the bow overlapping to produce a clamshell-like appearance. Each vessel has a cluster of weapons blisters spread across the hull. The forward ventral portion of the Dreadnaught-class is used as a massive cargo hold, with a docking port located at the bow of the ship. Additional cargo holds are situated towards the center of the ship, in front of the areas housing the main reactor and secondary power generators. Docking ports are located on either side of the ship. The original armament includes twenty quad laser cannons (six bow, seven port, seven starboard), ten laser cannons (five port, five starboard and mounted in blisters), and ten turbolaser batteries (five bow, five stern). Deflector shield projectors are located inside some of the blisters flanking the hull, and the primary and secondary sensor transceivers are located towards the stern of the vessel, on the dorsal and ventral sides, similar to those on CR90 Corvettes. While technologically advanced at the time of its construction, the Dreadnaught-class lacks in sublight and hyperspace speeds, is known to suffer computer failures, and has trouble competing with comparable designs in terms of firepower and shielding. It takes between three and five Dreadnaught-class cruisers to outgun one Imperial-class Star Destroyer. In addition to the technical drawbacks, Dreadnaught-class ships also require over 16,000 crewmembers to run at optimal performance—perhaps the highest crew per keel meter ratio of any modern starship. This high crew requirement put strains on recruitment efforts and makes supplying a Dreadnaught into a logistical nightmare. The initial design was not focused towards carrier duty, but as the ships were upgraded and refitted, the center cargo holds were converted to hangar space, and a common compliment of 12 starfighters are usually seen with modern vessels. Unlike many contemporary warship designs, the Dreadnaught-class does not have an easily visible bridge section, opting to shelter the command decks and crew stations inside the main armored superstructure. These areas were located on the dorsal side of the bow.

While technologically advanced at the time, the Dreadnaught lacked in sublight and hyperspace speeds (a Class 4 rating), suffered computer failures, and could not compete with competing designs in terms of firepower and shielding. In addition to these technical drawbacks, the Dreadnaught also required over 16,000 crewmembers to run at optimal performance—perhaps the highest crew per keel meter ratio of any modern starship.

- Drednaughts were large, and approached the size limit of the second sector (700 meters). They were actually 600 meters long, and many other ship designs were also this size. The dorsal hull overlapped over the ventral hull, and its weapons systems were concentrated in large blisters. Dreadnaughts were armed with many weapon systems, though the Astragon Dreadnaughts actually came in two variations. The anti-capital ship version was armed with 20 quad turbolaser cannons, fifteen turbolaser batteries, fifteen ion cannons, ten laser cannons, and a high-capacity concussion missile tube This launcher held 25 missiles. These ship also carried a light complement of 12 TIE series starfighters and one assault shuttle. Unlike many warship designs, the Dreadnaught-class's command bridge was located inside the ship, rather than on a bridge tower like some Star Destroyers. Six sublight thrusters provided main propulsion, while a class 2 hyperdrive was used for long-distance travel.
