The Ship List, Star Dreadnaughts Heavy

Star Dreadnoughts, Heavy
Heavy Star Dreadnoughts are the non-plus-ultra of every galactic fleet. Even large nations have trouble fielding several of them at once and only the Galactic Empire ever fully incorporated them in its battle doctrine.

To built them, a player must control at least 10 worlds on major or homeworld level. He can built no more than 4 heavy Star Dreadnoughts in total. Captured SDs do not count towards meeting that limit, however the player has to place them (or one of his own ships) in reserve if his total number of heavy SDs exceeds 4. Note: Admin. Factions may build 6.



Name: Vengeance class battlecruiser
Faction: Imperial only
Length: 19km
Building time: 24 months
Cost: 100 points
Armament: 26x ISD
Fighter complement: 144 fighters
Consumables: 2 years
Crew: 68000 + 1 division of troops
Role: Battlecruiser
The Vengeance class battlecruiser is an odd design. It has the length of an Executor class, but is more narrow than standard Star Destroyers. It is only 150 meters high. The design of this ship was supposed to strike terror into the hearts of enemies. Critics however rightfully point out that such a narrow ship is a huge target while being ridiculously underpowered. It has however become the ship of choice for more than one prominent sith lord as the design reputedly helps darksiders concentrate.




Name: Mandator II class Star Dreadnought
Faction: All factions
Length: 15km
Building time: 24 months
Cost: 180 points
Armament: 100xISD
Fighter complement: 144 fighters
Consumables: 1 year
Crew: 450000 + 1 division of troops
Role: Battleship
The Mandator II class Star Dreadnought was a favorite among Old Republic admirals. Although it has been surpassed by its successor design, the Executor class command ship. It lags behind the Executor class in shield strength, firepower and speed, but it still is one of the more powerful warship classes around and no ship to fool around with.




Name: Executor class Star Dreadnought
Faction: Imperial only
Length: 19km
Building time: 36 months
Cost: 200 points
Armament:2000 heavy turbolaser cannons, 2000 turbolaser cannons, 250 warhead launchers (capship grade), 250 heavy ion cannons, 500 point defence laser cannons (total firepower: 120xISD)
Fighter complement: 144-1200 fighters (if paid extra)
Consumables: 6 years
Crew: 280734 + 2 divisions of troops
Role: Battleship, moving capital world
The Executor class Star Dreadnought is not only the most terrifying symbol of Imperial power, it is also a moving capital world, capable of housing entire sector governments. In Battle, it can unleash the full weight of its impressive array of weaponry against multiple targets. It is however vulnerable to close range assaults as it cannot use HTLs at that range and (under very rare circumstances) to concentrated starfighter attacks. It is fast enough to catch up to any fleeing starship.



Name: Viscount class Star Defender
Faction: Mon Calamari only
Length: 17km
Building time: 48 months
Cost: 210 points
Armament:Equal to the executor
Fighter complement: 144 fighters
Consumables: 2 years
Crew: 120.000 + 3 divisions of troops
Role: Battleship
The Viscount class Star Defender was designed to engage Executor class Star Dreadnoughts. Like every Mon Calamari ship, it has redundant shield systems, making it almost invulnerable to ion cannon strikes. It is the pride of every NR navy.




Name: Sovereign class Star Dreadnought
Faction: Imperial only
Length: 15km
Building time: 48 months
Cost: 250 points
Armament:175x ISD + 1 axial superlaser capable of delivering 50x ISD firepower
Fighter complement: 1200 fighters
Consumables: 5 years
Crew: 609820 + 130100 of troops
Role: Battleship
The Sovereign is the most dangerous shipkiller there is.




Name: Eclipse class Star Dreadnought
Faction: Imperial only
Length: 17,5km
Building time: 60 months
Cost: 300 points
Armament:100x ISD + 1 axial superlaser capable of delivering 150x ISD firepower
Fighter complement: 696 fighters
Consumables: 10 years
Crew: 712645 + 150000 of troops
Role: Battleship
In terms of raw firepower, nothing beats an Eclipse class Star Dreadnought. It is a moving capital world and an almost undefeatable obstacle in the path of an enemy fleet. Well-placed shots from its superlaser can destroy enemy dreadnoughts. However, it does suffer from the slowest acceleration of any warship and therefore is seldom employed in offensive operations. It is however the best defensive warship there is and a great planetary shield killer.
