Mandator VI-class Star Dreadnought

Mandator VI

""Arm the autocannons and fire at will!""

- Grand Admiral Thrawn

The Mandator VI, also known as the Mandator VI Class Dreadnought and known by the Resistance as the "Big Six", was a type of star dreadnought utilized by the New Order and 6th vessel of the Mandator line.

Details
Designed by the New Order and built by Kuat Drive Yards to be the next generation of dreadnought, the Mandator VI was the latest vessel of the Mandator-series.

Production
The Mandator VI was designed by New Order Grand Admiral Thrawn after his resurrection and subsequent retreat into the depths into the Unknown Regions. The reason for designing it was because according to Thrawn, the New Order fleet was quite lacking in terms of numbers, having only a handful of dreadnoughts under its control.

After he completed his work, he presented the design to the New Order Duke Admiral, who apparently took one look at it and said, "This is a project for Kuat Drive Yards." The plans were subsequently sent via transport (under heavy guard) to Kuat, who were happy to construct a prototype.

The construction of the prototype, dubbed Insurgence, was filled with sabotage, as both the Resistance and First Order tried to stop an unknown enemy from obtaining a powerful new vessel to continue their war efforts. Much closer to the end of the construction period a First Order fleet even tried to destroy Kuat Drive Yards to prevent the Mandator from being completed.

Unfortunately, the prototype's weapon systems were fully operational, and as soon as the fleet came close to its dock the autocannons obliterated three of the star destroyers before the fleet retreated.

Now there are 17 Mandator VI Star Dreadnoughts in service to the New Order, including the aforementioned Insurgence, but also the Gauntlet, Admiral's Reach, Grasp of Armageddon, and the Pride of the Empire.
