'''Dreadnoughts''' ("dreads") are DPS machines, only surpassed as damage-dealers by Supercarriers and Titans. Only dreads can fit a siege module. Each empire faction has one dreadnought hull:

==Vindicator-supported Capgun Dreads==

This is a rare but deadly strategy used in Class 5 and Class 6 [[Wormhole]] engagements. In most cases, this is done using two ~~{{sh|Naglfar}}s~~ fitted with anti-capital Hexa-2500mm Repeating Cannons, and one ~~{{sh|~~Apostle}} (or other [[Force Auxiliary]]), supported by one or more ~~{{sh~~|~~Vindicator}}s~~, ~~{{sh~~|~~Loki}}s~~, and ~~{{sh~~|~~Huginn}}s~~. The objective of this composition is to use the Vindicator's webs to completely immobilize enemy cruisers and battleships, then target paint them with the Huginn and quickly eliminate them with the anti-capital weapons of the Naglfars (which, while they ordinarily cannot hit subcapitals, have little trouble hitting stationary targets). The Loki and Huginn together are able to apply webs to enemies outside of Vindicator range, and the Force Auxiliary is in charge of keeping the support ships alive under enemy fire. Variations of this strategy are employed both by independent roamers, and by high-class Wormhole groups in major engagements with one another.
