A Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, adorned with the symbols of the Galactic Republic, served as a vessel for that government. During the era of the Galactic Civil War, a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser materialized from hyperspace close to a disused Republic provisioning station, exhibiting signs of damage and transmitting a distress call intended for any nearby Republic forces. Aboard this ship were youthful clone troopers completely unaware of the Galactic Empire's presence.
At the time, certain persons were present at the deserted depot and they subsequently established contact with the Dreadnought.
The Republic Dreadnought, though not specifically named, made its initial appearance in the 2020 sourcebook Starships and Speeders, published by Fantasy Flight Games. This publication presents an adventure seed designed for utilization with the Star Wars Roleplaying series, and this article operates under the assumption that the scenario unfolds as depicted within the book.
