Separatist dreadnought

Warship of the Confederacy

Details

Description

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.

escape pod

escape pod

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.
