Question how wide spread was the Dreadnought 2's use? Was it used by the wider Empire and alliance? And compared to the original how long are/were they in use?

Its a fan creation for this fic and at this point in the story is currently in the midst of its first production run.

My WH40k side wants the designer to include a ramming prow for obvious purposes. Its named a "Dreadnought" for a damn reason, we're putting that ramming prow in.

I could see pirates or rebels crazy enough doing it. Hell, feel free to write an omake if you want. While not as common over here, the folks on SB love that shit.

The biggest question would be if @Freefaller is going to go with the Disney Canon 1 year or EU Legends 15 post Endor fall of the Empire war... i know i have stated this before but 1 year was way to short a time for a huge monolith even if fracturing like the Empire to fall to the small in comparison Rebel Alliance. There are many things that are wrong with the Empire that as can be seen in the way it fractures in the EU, but for it to fall in 1 year like Disney portrayed it did would mean that in the time that Palpatine was in rule of it he didn't set up any infrastructure and we know that he actually did on all levels where it mattered in order to have control of the Galaxy.

This can only mean that Disney must have made it so that said infrastructure was so fragile and weak that without old prune face in command it all instantly collapsed because all Imperial Governors, Moffs, Generals and Admirals clearly where all incompetent to a criminal degree... which we know they actually aint, they may be dangerously ambitious and corrupt but incompetent they are not as incompetence was deadly in the Empire, being incompetent would sooner or later see you getting a visit from Lord Vader at some point with you not surviving it or having your rival taking you out in order to secure a better position for themselves.

The EU version is much superior as in that one the only reason for why the Empire truly falls after Endor during a period of 15 years mind you is because of the wildly ambitious Imperial Officers are busy fighting amongst themselves while also fighting the Rebel Alliance/New Republic... heck this is the only reason as for why the New Republic is able to establish itself and last long enough to gain the strength needed to become a credible threat like they do in the end which results in the Imperials consolidating thanks to Admiral Natasi Daala, something she was only able to do by gathering the remaining Warlords at the time when the NR has become a credible threat and killing them all except Gilad Pallaeon and consolidating their forces into one and launching a massive attack on the NR that ends up failing.

I will be going mostly with the legends Warlord period where the Empire fractures upon Palpatines death leading to competing warlord states rather than a unified Empire.

In that case consdiering how you seem to feel the burn from the fact that you story have grown so large i would start to set up a storyboard doc if you haven't already where you create dossiers on all characters and rate them accordingly towards importance and how much "screen time" they will have as i do love this you are in for the long haul. Heck so far this is good enough in my opinion that some of the officials down at Lucasarts would enjoy your story as it is afterall, would be willing to bet my left nut that both Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer would low key enjoy it.

BTW still hoping for a eventual visit from Darth Vader to the Myto Sector in which he ends up stopping by at Minda, would be so hilarious since Moff Mola might be one of the few Imperials he would actually like and perhaps even praise... would probably ask for a custom Whirlwind that he can take for a spin which would be awesome as he is one of the few Pilots in the galaxy that could and most likely would survive disabling all of it's limiters and truly show what it's capable of.

It would more than likely remind him of his days of pod racing, or even when he first flew the N-1 starfighter. Though it could just as likely remind him of the first time fling the mark 2 jedi starfighter.

Idk what you mean. This is an ongoing story so that is yet to be seen. The dreadnought II isn't lore accurate.

I wasn't saying it was in lore, I was talking about it in a future sense.

I wasn't talking about it in a current sense but in a future sense, as some of the previous dossiers made it clear that the designs would really spread beyond Myto, and the original dreadnought design is decades to centuries old(depending on Disney or legends) so I was wondering how far in the future it was still in use
 
Hopefully this time the Dreadnought II would be accepted outside of Mola's domain, a Dreadnought model wherein they can operate more without having to sacrifice crews that could operate an ISD instead

I think I see the confusion. The dossiers are not from the future, they are modern day, meaning this dossier is a review of the ship as it has just come off the production line, and not a dossier made decades from this point in the story.

The funniest part in my mind, is really HAD there been a clear winner earlier not only WOULD the empire likely have beaten the Rebels but whomever won would likely be thanking them in there minds for removing that crazy old man Papa Palatine.
 
I know whose PoV we could "explore": Leia's

We had Ackbar Interlude and Luke Interlude, but nothing from her
 
The Katana fleet that was. Made about 46bby modernized the dreadnought design and used slave rigging. Artificial sabotage via super virus induced crazy caused the fleet to make a random hyperspace jump. The whole crew was lost and the automation and slave rigging was blamed since people didn't know what caused the incident and blamed thhe biggest factor that stuck out they knew, well, combined with the artificial sabotage folks. Calling this the Dreadnought 2 sounds like someone trying hard to pretend they hadn't already done this before before people got scared and skiddish around the modernized platform.
Ignoring the fact the rebellion also had two dreadnought upgrade varients.. the widespread parts and numbers make it a unique ecosystem that keeps feeding itself logistically to the point in legends they still haad and used the dreadnought class ships 150+aby years after the battle of Yavin
