     Fighter Compliment:  25 Lancers, 1 Gordnol light cruiser.

     These massive ships were the backbone of one of the earliest
pre-republic empires.  Far larger than any of it's
contemporaries, the Ultimate dreadnoughts were capable of
destroying opposing cruisers with a single shot from it's lasers
or heavy cannons.  These very powerful weapons couldn't lock on
starfighters, and the ship was therefore fitted with it's large
numbers of light cannons and torpedo tubes, and they would always
fly with large fighter compliments.  The Ryeh Imperium fielded
300 of these ships at it's height, and nearly twice as many
slightly smaller Invincible class dreadnoughts.  After it's fall,
almost all of these ships went from warlord to warlord, and many
wound up in the fleet of the fledgling New Republic, though they
weren't quite the ultimate war machines that they once were, at
that time.  
     There are relatively few uses for a Ultimate dreadnought in
modern times, though many of it's parts still command high
prices.  The hand tooled cannons, the gold and duridium detail
work, the opulent captains's quarters and other items are
particularly valuable, but even the refined titanium/carbon alloy
hull is worth quite a bit.  The value of a Ultimate Dreadnought
in good condition to a collector would be quite high, assuming
that a collector could be found that is interested in Capital
scale ships.
