Vengeance-class Star Dreadnaught


The Vengeance-class Dreadnaught, is a KDY variant of the Executor-class that was first built after Hoth. The Dark Jedi Jerec had his own personal vessel.

Jerec's vessel was used more as a command and logistics vessel than a warship. The only battle it is recorded as having fought was against a corvette - which doesn't tell us a lot. Other than Jerec's vessel, three ships of this class were on Byss... did they include that vessel? What happened to it after Jerec died? We do not know.

One thing with vessels this size is that if I scale them 'properly' they are too big for the default EaW maps - so I will have to create new larger space maps to accomodate larger battles. Luckily they are relatively rare.

We do not have official stats for this vessel other. We know that it is the same length and has roughly the same parameters as the Executor-class.

Role: Battleship / Command Ship
Size: 19000 metres
Speed: 20 MGLT
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 2000 Heavy Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 2000 Medium Turbolasers, 250 Concussion Missile Tubes, 250 Heavy Ion Cannons
Anti-Fighter Weapons:  500 Light Point Defence Laser Canons
Complement: Two to Four Wings of TIE Fighters and Bombers
Availability: Tech Level 4

I am currently an old model for testing purposes, if you have a more appropriate model please let me know.

Bellator-class Star Dreadnaught

The Bellator-class was a scaled down version of the Mandator II dreadnaught. It sacrificed heavier weapons over earlier models to add more speed and was known as the 'fast dreadnaught'. The lack of weaponry was even more noticeable when compared to the Mandator III-class which was larger and kept the heavy weapons.

In larger fleet operations it would have had the role of hunting the other sides smaller battleships. ie. Star Destroyers and maybe Star Cruisers.

You can ready the Wookiepedia entry here.

Role: Dreadnaught, Destroyer-hunter
Speed: 40 MGLT (Standard for dreadnaughts is 10 MGLT)
Shielding: ?
 Main Battery: 40 Heavy Turbolasers
Secondary Weapons: 100 Medium Turbolasers, 100 Medium Ion Cannons, 60 Light Turbolasers, 10 Concussion Missile Tubes
Anti-Fighter Weapons: 64 Medium Lasers
Complement: Unknown, maybe 4  GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat  and 6 Assault Gunboats
Availability: Tech Level 3

I am currently using an old model from a mod I cannot remember the name of as a placeholder. If you have a more appropriate model please let me know.
