|}'''Battleships''' are the latest technological development, and have replaces [[Heavy Cruiser|heavy cruisers]] as the new flagships of the line. These galactic dreadnoughts (hull size 20) are the mightiest vessels to travel between the stars, and carry about 400 crew members. A battleship has excellent maneuverability and acceleration, and can absorb considerable damage. In addition, the new and durable engines mounted on these ships allow 12 jumps between overhauls. The biggest disadvantage of the battleship is its extreme cost; only three have been commissioned at the current time. Battleships have never fought in ship-to-ship battles, so their effectiveness is a matter of theory.

'''Battleships,''' aka '''Dreadnoughts,''' have replaced [[Heavy Cruiser|heavy cruisers]] as the flagships of the line. Dreadnoughts are the mightiest vessels to travel between the stars. The UPF has only a few of them, and they usually stay near the larger space stations. Battleships have never fought in ship-to-ship combat, so their effectiveness is a matter of theory.

A dreadnought has excellent maneuverability and acceleration; it can also absorb considerable damage. In addition, the durable engines mounted on these ships allow 12 jumps between overhauls. The biggest disadvantage of the battleship is its extreme cost; only three have been commissioned.
 
 
The first time a battleship saw action was in the [[Battle of Fortress Kdikit]], where the ''Admiral Clinton ''led UPF forces to a narrow victory (the Sathar were wiped out, but the dreadnought lost half her crew and the fortress had to be abandoned). Since then, the battleships have had a major retrofit to increase overall firepower, as weapon development grew in the onslaught of Sathar invasions. During the [[Second Sathar War]], all three battleships proved instrumental for driving out the invading Sathar fleets.
