The First Order's new Super Star Destroyer / Dreadnaught is quite a beastly looking ship, however, did you know that there are also Mandator Dreadnoughts in Star Wars Legends? Star Wars: The Last Jedi may be the first official film to feature a Mandator Super Star Destroyeron screen, but the Mandator I, Mandator II, Mandator III, and the Bellator Class Super Star Destroyer are all part of the Mandator line within Star Wars Legends. Today, I'll talk about Star Wars Episode 8's new First Order Dreadnought, while also discussing the Mandator Line from Star Wars Legends, and how this new ship fits in.
In Star Wars Legends, the Mandator I was a dreadnaught that first appeared about 20 years before the clones wars, constructed by Kuat Drive Yards. The Mandator I was later upgraded to the Mandator II, and was used by the Republic during the Clone Wars. Later, the Empire would continue the line with both the Mandator III and the divergent Bellator Class Super Star Destroyer. Now, Star Wars canon has brought us the Mandator IV, as a Dreadnaught for the First Order.
