Mandator II-class Star Dreadnought


The Mandator II-class Star Dreadnought, alternatively referred to as the Mandator-II Star Dreadnaught, a member of the Mandator line, was a Star Dreadnought creation of Kuat Drive Yards. This formidable ship was significantly larger than a Venator-class Star Destroyer, even though the Galactic Republic Navy employed the latter far more extensively and in greater numbers during the Clone Wars. To equal the power of one Mandator II-class vessel, it would take over 1,000 Recusant-class light destroyers.

Behind the scenes

Within the current Star Wars canon, the reference book Star Wars: Complete Vehicles, which came out in 2018, marked the introduction of the Mandator-II Star Dreadnaught. The material referencing this battleship was a reprint from the 2005 reference book Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections by Curtis Saxton, which also represented the starship's initial appearance in the Star Wars Legends continuity. The Spanish and French versions of "Starships of the Empire and the Rebellion," the seventy-ninth installment in De Agostini's Star Wars Encyclopedia series, identified it as the Mandator II-class battleship, released on October 12, 2021 and October 28, 2021, respectively. The English edition of the encyclopedia, which was published in 2022, gave the name Mandator II-class Star Dreadnought.
