Unidentified new dreadnought

In 18 BBY, a new dreadnought was introduced to the Imperial Navy after less than a year of construction. By the time of its inaugural launch from the construction and overhaul facility, however, the starship had already been labeled a placeholder. Nonetheless, Admiral Wilhuff Tarkin promised Lieutenant Commander Orson Callan Krennic that the dreadnought would serve in the Imperial Navy until the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station was complete.
