Dreadnought

Ship Special Rule
Dreadnouhgts are the leviathans of the void, usually the most devastating and vast ships a race can produce. A single one of these monstrosities is fully capable of reducing a small fleet to dust. They are singurlarly spectacular vessels and any fleeet which includes one will inevitably be built round it - this is reflected in a special rule.

A battlegroup containing a Dreadnought may not contain any other ships. A Dreadnought has a tonnage of 30 for the purposes of scoring and strategy rating (hence S2 in the profile). A battlegroup containing a Dreadnought may exceed the normally allowed 33% of your fleet's points cost. Your Admiral MUST be mounted in a Dreadnought if you take one (why would he be anywhere else after all!).

Dreadnoughts use special Crippling Damage and Catastrophic Damage tables. In addition, roll on the Crippling Damage table when the ship is reduced to 18 hull or less and 10 hull or less (rather than the usual 50% of original hull or less).
