Role: Escort Carrier
- Weapons: 4 fighter slots, 8 chemical lasers, 1 quantum singularity torpedo launcher, and 8 heavy particle cannons.
- Rank Requirement: Vice Admiral
- Badges Required: Bronze Combat, Silver Support
The first dreadnought you can fly, this ship is a nice step up from the cruiser. With a lot of projectiles and lasers armed mostly on the side of the ship, there is always a good angle to shoot the enemy. The fighters give you a long range capabilty, weakening an enemy before you jump in and finish the job.
ST-45 Battle Dreadnought
Role: Gunboat
- Weapons: 6 chemical beam lasers, 1 heavy chemical beam laser, 2 quantum singularity torpedo launchers, 12 heavy particle cannons, and a flux wave device.
- Rank Requirement: Admiral

This ship is also hard to get because it requires a lot of badges. The many torpedo slots make up for it because you pack a really good punch, if you can hit them... The mines also help you to set up a perimeter. Next to that this ship has build drones, that allows you to build a platform base right next to you. Deadly in the hands of an experienced players.

If you have found a safe spot and an enemy is within scanner range, you can pound them with fighters.

Just make sure you get out fast when a strong enemy gets near!

The most powerfull Dreadnought in the UGTO arsenal, appearing to battle in an Elite Assault Dreadnought (EAD) makes the enemy rethink their tactics. If you ever thought that you didnt have enough firepower, those days are over once you meat the requirements for this ship. This ship is suitable to fight against Stations and other Dreadnought class ships. Keep in mind that the EAD is a close range ship, shooting players in small ships will require some practice in jumping.

The Krill is favored because of the bigger cargo hull. This allows you to drop 6 infantry on an enemy ship, giving you a higher chance of succes for privateering. Also with a lot of long range weaponry and a lot of energy reserves, you can keep hitting the enemy from a relatively safe distance.
Mandible
Role: Assault

The first Dreadnought you can fly, also has the most firepower. Isnt that fun? Combined with cloaking, this ship always brings a grin to your face, and a voice in the back of your head whispering "kill". Keep an eye on your energy though, it will be gone faster then you can blink.
Siphon
Role: ELF Assault ship
- Weapons: 6 disruptors, 8 assault disruptors, 6 ELF beams, 2 stellar incinerators, and 8 AM torpedo launchers.

What makes this ship so strong is of course the huge amounts of firepower, but also the ability to drain the energy away from the enemy and back to your ship for another one of those very painfull shots you can deliver. By the time you jump out of combat and cloak up, you have brought pain upon the enemy.
MI Legion
MI Longhead
Role: Planetary extermination dreadnought
The fastest and most maneuverable dreadnought in the metaverse can be seen razing entire planetary colonies with a devastating beam of unknown technology. The Longhead's vast array, of what appears to be, advanced chemical lasers can reach out beyond that of the other factions, and its target-seeking core weapons can damage all ships within a large radius upon impact.
