Alliance Mk II Dreadnaught are powerful modified old republic Dreadnaughts. They have better armor, shielding and weapons than their predecessors. With state of the art systems and a hanger for 24 star fighters these Heavy Cruisers can hold their own with any ship in its class.
Design
The Alliance MK II Dreadnaught's offer a balanced weapons load for engagement of any and all enemies. Heavy Turbolasers offer the class with formidable ship to ship offense while light turbolasers give the ship both ship to ship and attack craft defense. Ion cannons give the class the ability to engage and disable shielding of capital vessels and disable lighter vessels. Quad Lasers give the class a needed anti-projectile/anti-fighter capability. Taking from Clone wars era CIS warships the new class has Multi-pourpose mass cannons capable of launching a variety of warheads from flak to seismic charges to Heavy missiles and torpedoes. The power needed for the upgraded shielding and weapons comes from Recusant-class Light Destroyer Power cores. Quarren engineers at the Minntooine Fleet Yards working with Mon Calamari engineers installed the core's and seal shielding systems making the Alliance MK II-class one of the toughest ships in her size class.
History
The Alliance Mk II Dreadnaughts are a joint Calamari/Quarren project to Redesign and Rebuild twelve Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruisers. 1ABY Admiral Reshmar showed up over Mon Calamari with the twelve Dreadnaughts to be used in the project. They were then moved to Minntooine where they were redesigned and rebuilt from the hull out by Minntooine Fleet Yards.
