History & Background (Dossier)

They sacrifice maneuver drive and agility for the weaponry and defenses. Designed to be inexpensive for their size, especially in bulk, they can stand toe-to-toe and slug it out with enemy Battleships and Dreadnaughts, they serve as a flag ship for imperial squadrons of warships. They lack the troop strength and fighters of other imperial dreadnaughts, in order to better focus on the ship killing role for which they are well qualified.
