This is a replica of the primary warship of earth from SBYamato franchise.
Notes:
• if the ship and/or the speed gauge jitters, simply reduce throttle until its back to normal.
• always activate Locked Heading
• max safe ascend throttle input is 25%.
• use translation mode controls for precision manouvering & descend
• to roll the ship efficiently, simply turn off RCS & ORCS (AG9-10) and activate gyro.
• use ORCS with caution, as its intended purpose is to provide faster turn rate during atmospheric flight.

Entering active service in 2202, The Dreadnought-class is the main backbone of UNCF fleets. Being the most mass produced ship if including unmanned variant, it isdesigned as a labour-serving vessel, much like the Andromeda-class, and it can be operated by a small crew of only 150 members.

It was developed to be the mainstay of the Wave-Motion Gun fleet concept, which was conceived and promoted after the war against Garmillas. Based on technology obtained through the new alliance with Garmillas, the Dreadnought class has the characteristics of a ship equipped with a Wave-Motion Engine, and can be a considered a mass-produced version of Project Izumo's Yamato.
Its name pays homage to a famous warship from the 20th century,and it took on the name “class D” using the initial. Its official designation is “Mass-produced high-capability armed operation system D1.”

During the battle off the coast of saturn, the flagship's fleet managed to annihilate ~2.5 million Gatlantean warships in just a single encounter by primarily using D1s, as smaller cruiser and frigates unable to operate effectively due to the gravitational well of saturn.

After the war with gatlantis, the class was largely distributed amongst the new UNCF fleet formations, if not scrapped. Some would be reconstructed into battle carriers or fleet tenders to support the fleets they were attached to. Albeit no longer the largest or most powerful warship in service, the class is still very popular due to its reliability.
