Kiris Shipyards Corellian Dreadnaught by Shoguneagle

Constructed in secret at the Kiris Shipyards located in an asteroid field on the very edge of the Corellian star system starting around thirty years after the Battle of Yavin, the Corellian Dreadnaughts were formidable warships, fielding numerous turbolaser emplacements and concussion missile tubes that were distributed evenly across their egg-shaped hulls. It was estimated that each such vessel possessed roughly twice the destructive power of an Imperial-class star destroyer. They were designed to engage capital ships in close-quarters engagements during large scale battles, freeing up other classes of vessels to complete their respective mission objectives.

By forty years after the Battle of Yavin, three of these massive ships had been completed and were actively serving in the Corellian Defense Force, and years later, in the Confederation Fleet. The Thracken Sal-Solo, likely named during his reign as Corellia’s Chief of State, would also become the flagship of the Confederation fleet. The two remaining dreadnaughts, however, would be defeated and destroyed during the ill-fated Battle of Hapes.
