Pac-Man dreadnought

The Pac-Man dreadnought was the dreadnought fielded by the Pac-Men in the 24th century. It was known to bear a strong resemblance to the ships in terms of maneuverability, as well as in its architecture, only they were larger.

History

 * In the video game, Pac-Man dreadnoughts were portrayed as being part of Starfleet, whereas they were portrayed in  as being ships damp-leased to the Federation by the Pac-Men against the Interstellar Concordium.

The original concept of a Pac-Man dreadnought was to include more capabilities, but only a minimal increase in firepower over the fielded by the Federation at this time. This was found to be inadequate after other races began fielding DNs that reflected an approximate 50% increase in firepower over their respective heavy cruisers. During wartime, each fleet is commanded by an admiral in a dreadnought, but during peacetime, it was usually docked at a starbase because it was too expensive to operate. ( video game: )

Having the first dreadnought was both a boon and curse to the Federation, as well as the Pac-Men, who found their original DN weaker than those it faced in opposition, such as the. This was an improved design which brought the DN up to spec with the refitted dreadnoughts of the other races.

An attempt to add additional firepower to the Pac-Man Improved Dreadnought, the Heavy DN represented the maximum amount of weaponry capable of being used on the dreadnought hull.
