Description Dread, Dread the alarms were shrill
the bombs fell silent, and the rifles still.

No words were spoken no exchange shared
the dread was coming and no-one dared-

Disturb the quiet which blankets the field.
It is too late, our fates are sealed.

Dread, Dread, the coming storm
Dread, Dread it's monstrous form...

---------

"The Staevik Naval might is well known as the largest Dreadnought producing force in our universe. What they lack in numbers, they make up for in power. Their ships, heavy armored and powerful, but slow make easy targets if you can avoid the oncoming fire from them. Through our observations just one of their Dreadnoughts can inflict heavy damage to an opposing fleet and still stay in tact if not properly dealt with.
But the Staevik's most powerful weapons are by far their Superdreadnought class of ship. One-Fleet ships capable of attacking an opposing fleet alone without the use of outside support. Though they have been known to travel with escorts as a precaution. These ships are the most deadly recorded. If met on the field of battle, your best option is to forfeit and escape to regroup and fight another day. Do not engage unless specifically commanded to."

Excerpt from Terran Field Manuel to the Staevik Military

--------

The Staevik armada boasts a total of 4 superdreadnoughts in it's navy and one "Goliath" Class ship, far exceeding the size and power of it's 4 Superdread counterparts. Unlike the Terran navy which has only one ship classified as a 'Superdread'. Each of these 4 Superdreads are different, boasting their own unique attributes and looks, but they are known for being one-ship fleets. Able to decimate an enemy force or cut off a supply line without the need of any support. They are the single most feared ships in human explored space.

Here is the "Titan Class". Essentially a Supercarrier. Hosting a good sum of gunships, fireships, and corvettes within it's hulls, as well an additional 6 destroyers towards the rear. As well as it's precautionary escort fleet.

For my setting
Comments are very much appreciated!

"Sir. I think you need to take a look at this!"

"What are you so worked up abou-"

"Sir?"

". . . Run away."

"Run away?"

"Run away. HELM!"

And so the Stellar Union corvette Jackal noped all the way back to New Harmony.

Ahhh. The Stellar Union practicing an age old tactic of Nope-ing.
Like most naval forces, when presented with a superdread it's the best option to just cut losses and nope on away. They were wise
