Assertor-class Star Dreadnought

The Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, also known as the Assertor-class Command Dreadnought, was a class of Star Dreadnought manufactured by Kuat Drive Yards that served in the Galactic Empire. One of the largest vessels in the Imperial Navy in terms of size and power, it was characterized by its long and thin arrow-shaped hull. The dreadnought boasted a large array of armaments and utilities to fulfill its roles as a command ship, sector patrol vessel, and fleet operations craft. Introduced between 19 BBY and 3 BBY, when the Empire experimented on larger battlecruiser models, few of the large warships were built.

The Assertor-class dreadnought saw use in the Imperial Era during the time of the Rebel Alliance, with the lead ship of the class, the Assertor, and its sister ship, the Wrath, being laid down prior to the Battle of Yavin. During the Galactic Civil War, both ships and their battle groups conducted anti-Alliance operations along the border between the Mid and Outer Rim Territories.
