[edit] Characteristics

Armed with powerful heavy laser cannons in forward-firing batteries, they were designated as cruisers, larger than corsair battleships and starfighters.^[1]

[edit] History

In 1,002 BBY, three ships of this type formed part of Lord Kaan's Sith fleet during the First Battle of Ruusan. These three ships were considered a deadly threat to two Hammerhead-class capital ships that had lost their shields to a fighter attack, but without fighter support of their own, they were vulnerable to four squadrons of Aurek tactical strikefighters.^[1]

It is not known what relationship, if any, the Sith Dreadnaught cruiser bore to the Kandosii-type dreadnaught of the Mandalorian Wars or the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser of the later Galactic Republic and the Galactic Civil War.
