The Providence-class carrier/destroyer or the Separatist Dreadnaught is one of the New Confederacy of Independent Systems warships used during the The Last of the Droids era.
Characteristics[]
Weapons[]
The Providence-class has many weapons which made the ship very powerful in most cases. The Providence-class carrier/destroyer has 40 Flak Guns, 20 on each side which made it powerful during ship-to-ship combat with Victory-class Star Destroyers or Imperial-I class Star Destroyers.

The Providence-class also has numerous Dual laser cannons on each side in case of firing at Imperial fighters. The Providence-class also has 50 Quad turbolasers on the top of the ship. The Separatist Dreadnaught also has 8 Proton torpedo launchers that can hold up to 2,800 Proton Torpedoes and 550 Discord missiles.
Modular Compartments[]
Providence-class carrier/destroyers featured modular compartments which make the vessels very easy to modify. This makes it possible to easily upgrade the propulsion systems or weaponry of a given ship, as well as making it possible to convert the ships into starfighter carriers, or other variations. TF-1726's Dreadnaught and the Shadow Hand is one example of a heavily modified Providence-class carrier/destroyer. Trade Federation Cruisers are massive, cylindrical 1,088-meter-long warships with a pointed nose that tapered towards the superstructure. Some Providence-class carrier/destroyers are longer, measuring 2,177.35 meters. These ships are said to be some of the biggest in the New Separatist fleet and are capable of holding a planetary blockade almost by themselves.
Control Bridges[]
The Providence had 2 Control Bridges which made it quite an impressive design for such a large ship.

The 1st Control Bridge was located in the front of the ship. The first Control Bridge contained 10 Driver Battle Droids or OOM Pilot Droids manning the ship. The 2 Droids in the front would drive the ship, while the others fired its weapons and unlocked doors. It contained 1 chair for a Tactical Droid, Super Tactical Droid, or a OOM Commander Battle Droid to sit in it. Sometimes, they carried biological officers, such as Trench.

The Providence's 2nd control bridge is much smaller than the first. It only had 6 OOM Security Battle Droids manning it and still had 1 chair for the T-series tactical droids. The 2nd Control Bridge also have cannons protecting the front and the back.
Complement[]
The Providence-class carrier/destroyer has cell bays and lots of hallways so B1 Battle Droids can walk in. Inside the Providence's hangar, it has many Droid Fighter Clips so they can hold 120 Vulture Droids, 120 Droid Tri-Fighters and 10-30 Hyena-class bombers. Under the Providence's hangar, it stores 1.4 million B1 Battle Droids, 1.5 million B2 Super Battle Droids, and 280 Armored Assault Tanks and other droid craft.
