Dreadnought

Dreadnoughts are a class of warship designed to represent a show of force, as well as to pacify large contingents of enemy naval forces. Usually only ever deployed during major engagements or to execute important missions (or in the CDF's case, defend the Citadel), dreadnoughts encase an immense amount of firepower, being capable of destroying a cruiser in one shot from their MAC cannon. Although extremely vulnerable to (and almost rendered useless by) carriers, dreadnoughts are still a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and still represent a persistent threat during any naval battle.
