One of the biggest ships of the Separatist fleet, the dreadnought's power is enough to hold a blockade almost by itself. A roughly cylindrical warship, the cruiser's surface was dotted with heavy weapons emplacements capable of piercing through the shields and hulls of enemy vessels. The ponderous cannons, though, were too slow to target tiny Jedi starfighters that could dart past the cruiser's defenses into the ship's spacious hangar bay.
The bridge of the cruiser was located on a platform resting atop the bow of the vessel. Towards the aft end of the craft was a towering fin-like spire that rose from the rest of the hull. Within this spire were the General's Quarters, a military command center with tactical displays, briefing table, and an enormous observation deck with a wide view of surrounding space.
General Grievous has commanded devastating attacks against the Republic from the bridge of a Separatist dreadnought. One such warship was his flagship in attacking Coruscant and kidnapping the Chancellor near the end of the Clone Wars.
With a firm hand, Admiral Trench commands the forces of the Invincible, his Separatist dreadnought. Trench has been tasked to create an unstoppable blockade around the planet Christophsis, and his mighty warship is key to that plan.
Separatist dreadnoughts tangled with Republic attack cruisers in some of the most notable battles of the Clone Wars. Over Sullust, Christophsis and Coruscant itself, these enormous warships have exchanged devastating broadsides.
When Grievous' dreadnought succumbed to damage from Republic forces over Coruscant, the cowardly general retreated into a waiting escape pod. Since most of the crew aboard the vessel were battle droids, very few life pods were launched from the plummeting warship.
To defeat the blockade over Christophsis, Anakin Skywalker combined his daring tactics, a stealth ship's sensor-baffling abilities, and Admiral Trench's overconfidence to deliver explosive torpedoes directly into the unprotected bridge of Trench's Separatist dreadnought.
