The Vengeance-class dreadnought was a dreadnought-scale warship in the Imperial Navy.

HistoryEdit

The Vengeance-class was one of several heavy capital ship classes made after the Executor-class Star Dreadnought.^[1]

The flagship of the Dark Jedi and Imperial Inquisitor Jerec was a dreadnought of this class named the Vengeance. It was used from some time before the Battle of Endor^[6] to the time of his death in 5 ABY.^[5] Several Vengeance-class dreadnoughts were apparently utilized by the Byss Defense Fleet.^[7]

Three Vengeances anchored massive task forces sent from the Deep Core to reconquer the Core Worlds in 10 ABY. One of which, the Javelin, was destroyed during the subsequent Imperial Civil War when its captain steered it into a Torpedo Sphere that guarded Chasin.^[1]

Behind the scenesEdit

The Vengeance-class dreadnought first appeared in The Essential Guide to Warfare, alongside a ship within its class, the Javelin. Although artwork of it was never shown, the name of the ship class suggested a connection to Jerec's flagship of the same name. A post made by Paul Urquhart on the TEGTW forum for TheForce.Net revealed that the similarities and connections between the ship class and Jerec's ship was intentional.
