Ships Biography-
The Deathwatch class Dreadnought is the largest vessel in the Dominion Navy. It's purpose is clearly military, heavily armed and armored with a sizable force of embarked craft as well a garrison of Dominion soldiers. Each Dreadnought is individually commissioned; their construction time and cost being totally prohibitive for most fleets. Deathwatch Dreadnoughts are a testament to Mandalore Technologies and Mandal Motors, the divisions of the Dominion responsible for their design and construction.
Each Dreadnought commissioned is a heavy undertaking and as such the manifest and mission design of one Deathwatch may vary from another. Detailed above and below is the first Dreadnought launched; named the Deathwatch, this vessel set the tone and classification for the line.
The MDNV-001 A Deathwatch class Dreadnought embarked upon its maiden voyage with a standard compliment of crew and equipment. Assigned to the Mandalorian System with sector patrol mandates it was dubbed the Navy Flagship.
The MDNV-001 A has a long angular hull that borrows design cues from the battleships of old. It's high arcing bow breaks into two raised ridges that run the length of the hull along the dorsal and ventral centerlines as well as two deep trenches running the port and starboard sides from bow to stern. These ridges and trenches provide cover and firing arcs for the many weapons emplacements throughout the vessel. Shadow Paint helps to mask the Dreadnoughts size but even this measure fails to fully downplay the sheer scope of such a vessel.

OOC Information-The information detailed above pretains to a particular Deathwatch-class Dreadnought. Each Dreadnought fairly matches the above statistical information with minimal variance depending on its mission assignment. These fluctuations will affect crew and equipment numbers as well as other manifest information. Weapons, Sheild and Hull statistics remain the same throughout the line as does all pertinent information regarding fleet rules/actions.
