Characteristics
Edit
The Mandator II-class was a powerful vessel. While Star Destroyers like the Venator-class could stand up to a handful of Separatist Recusant-class light destroyers, a Star Dreadnought like the Mandator II-class could withstand an assault of up to 1,000 of these warships.[1] As such, the vessel carried reactor equipment large enough to force the length of its hull up to its length of 8 kilometers.[4]
HistoryEdit
Having cut its ties to the Techno Union prior to the Clone Wars, Kuat Drive Yards began building starships for Republic use only.[5] Among its new designs was the Mandator II-class, an upgrade of the prewar Mandator I-class Star Dreadnaught, which had formed part of the Kuat sector's defenses in peace-time.[6] These heavy vessels formed part of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's newly centralized Republic Navy during the Clone Wars,[3] along with KDY's other heavily armed, wedge-shaped warship designs.[1][7]
The class was far larger and more heavily armed than the Venator-class Star Destroyer and was produced in fewer numbers than this common Jedi cruiser.[8] The various KDY warships were collectively praised for the Republic's victories during the war, while the Jedi Generals' leadership was downplayed.[1][7][9] The Mandator II-class design was later surpassed by heavy warships made during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[10]
Among the designs derived from it, was the Bellator-class dreadnought and the Mandator III-class dreadnought which emphasized different aspects of both the Mandator and Mandator II classes.[2]
