Dreadnought

The term dreadnought is a starship classification that is applied to describe a type of starship that is usually built solely for combat, with the best weapons and the strongest defenses. Starfleet's first dreadnoughts, the Federation-class, were developed in the 2250s and 2260s in response to the growing Klingon threat. The Klingons themselves developed many dreadnoughts in response.
== History ==
During raids by multiple parties on a Borg Collective unimatrix for reassimilation, three dreadnoughts engaged one another: a Borg octhedron controlled by the Borg Queen, a Voth dreadnought deployed from the Voth Fortress Ship, and an Undine . The Borg Cooperative leading an Alpha Quadrant Alliance task force from Seven of Nine's sphere, recognized this as their change to target and destroy all three dreadnoughts within minutes.
