__NOTOC__
The '''''Dreadnaught'' Assault Frigate''' is a modification of the [[Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser|''Dreadnaught''-class Heavy Cruiser]] and was first developed and used by the Rebel Alliance. As the Rebel Alliance began to acquire Galactic Republic-era Rendili StarDrive Dreadnaught-class starships, it found the required 16,000-being crew to be difficult to manage and procure, yet they were in desperate need of warships.

After equipping Dreadnaughts with droids and automated systems to reduce the crew requirement to 5,000 beings, thus rendering the ships usable, Rebel engineers began modifying Dreadnaughts to allow for greater speed and efficiency while retaining the original weapon systems. The final product was only recognizable as a descendant of the Dreadnaught-class by the nose of the ship. Most of the internal structure was exposed to space and two dorsal fins provided added maneuverability.

These modifications include the removal of the internal docking capacity of the ''Dreadnaught''-class, but the ships are instead equipped with 20 umbilical docking fixtures like those on the [[Nebulon-B Escort Frigate]]. In addition, the Assault Frigate carries a modified assault shuttle on its back, which is secured in a manner that allows it to be carried in hyperspace.

The Assault Frigate has a larger number of weapon emplacements than the original ''Dreadnaught'', but the turbolasers have a shorter range and slower fire rate due to the increased demand on the main power system. The removal of large quantities of hull plating reduces the ship's durability, but slightly stronger shields partially compensate for it. The refits were expensive and time-consuming, but the Assault Frigate is considered to be a very effective combat warship.
