The Jem'Hadar dreadnought carrier was a starship design used by the Dominion and was introduced during the Dominion War. (ST video game: Star Trek Online)
History[]
Among the first recorded sightings in the Alpha Quadrant was in the year 2374, when one such vessel was encountered by the crew of the Federation Starfleet starship USS Valiant. The Valiant attempted to destroy the vessel with a precision attack to the antimatter storage, but failed and was itself destroyed. (DS9 episode: "Valiant"; STO website : Dev Blogs)
These vessels were later used in the war to eliminate enemy outposts as well as provide heavy support at the Battle of Cardassia. (DS9 episodes: "The Dogs of War", "What You Leave Behind"; STO website : Dev Blogs)
First Kar'ukan used one of these vessels as his flagship during the brief Dominion occupation of Deep Space 9 in 2409. (STO missions: "Facility 4028", "Boldly They Rode")
Technical data[]
These massive vessels were among the most powerful vessels fielded by the Jem'Hadar, described as being twice the length and mass and having three times the power of a Federation Galaxy-class starship. (DS9 episode: "Valiant"; STO website : Dev Blogs)
The ships were heavily armed and densely defended with polaron weapons, quantum torpedoes, and dual hangar bays capable of deploying Jem'Hadar fighters or even full-size attack ships. They were also equipped with a Dominion command interface capable of analyzing the weaknesses of targets and broadcasting resulting data to friendly starships. (ST video game: Star Trek Online)
