Dreadnought
The Terran Knowledge Bank
A dreadnought was a type of heavy warship that served as a battleship or carrier during the Terran-Kilrathi War. The Terran Confederation fielded at least one type of dreadnought during the war which was the Confederation-class dreadnought. The most famous ship of that class was the TCS Concordia.
Behind the scenes
Historically a Dreadnought was a type of battleship with heavy armour and armaments. The name comes from the first ever dreadnought named HMS Dreadnought which was launched in 1906. The dreadnought type-vessel was superseded by new Battleship and Battlecruiser designs after world war 1.
