Designed to make a Statement. Di Tron's entry into the Battleship stakes was bold, technically challenging and above all else big.
Massing a full 2.5 Megatons, the Dreadnought II would be the single largest KF equipped star ship designed. A bold gesture the Dreadnought existed to make a point, that the SLDF and the Terran Hegemony was able to take on all comers.
In an effort to not over complicate the design process the decision to not include a LFB was made.
Much more importantly from Di Tron's designers point of view was that the Dreadnought II was armored with 7500 tons of Lamellor Ferro-carbide, many times greater than that found on McKenna's.
For such a big ship equally big guns were mounted with 36 Heavy Gauss Rifles spread evenly over the firing arcs with the broad sides sporting an extra pair each.
Secondary armament includes a battery of Naval Lasers in the Fore, Aft and Broadsides, while the F L/R and Aft L/R have 4 AR10 launchers with full loads.
Tertiary armaments include AMS, pulse lasers, and er ppc's, all designed to smack around any ASF or missiles that evade the CAP.
Featuring a full Air Regiment for CAP, alongside a Wing of Small craft, a launch bay for a company of LAM's was included. The Marine quarters on board are designed to accommodate NightHawk equipped soldiers.
That Di Tron actually lacks a Yard capable of building such a massive Warship has been glossed over, but still hasn't stopped them from submitting the design.
