Well, its not really a creature, but i think it will look good in LEGENDS expansion. Also, english is not my native language, please sorry for spelling.

This is a major and rare encounter.

History of Legendary Dreadnought "Sovereign" (name can be changed

)

Along time ago (in a far,far galaxy...

) there was a Dreadnought, flagship of rich but evil empire that ruled thousands years by cruel conquests and total annihilation of other species. This ship was a major power and inspired fear to enemy hearts winning wars before they even start. During one of ongoing wars a navigation system failure brought this beast to a black hole. Nobody knows what happened next, but recently there were reports of battles with a huge unknown vessel of great power. Those few who survived told that he came from nowhere and is able to devastate whole fleet.

Description

Its a gothic looking ship with powerful shields, long-range weapons (mostly inaccurate artillary cannons with long reload rate, like ones on naval battleships of 20 century), and numerous autocannons. Due to its size it has low speed and long recharging hyperspace core.

This is not my work. It is cruiser from battlefleet gothic but its how i see this ship.

It can be found attacking fleets and colonies not far from black holes and super novas.
Attack just in great numbers is advised.
Also it seems to have great clocking abilities.

For its destruction player will be awarded technology boost and moral boost empire wide. (maybe something else

I can�t help it, but this sounds and looks quite like something from Warhammer 40.000. At least thats what comes into my mind when I read "gothic ship with lots of inaccurate guns". :)

Sounds good. What does it do when it attacks a colony, Shuul? Does it conquer, enslave, destroy?

I like this one too...
We sure have a lot of talented folks around here.
I can see three of these creatures/situations that I would love to have as part of the game...

I would love to have this one too, and it would fit well in the SW universe... This could be Darth Nihilius' ship!

It will kill colony populationon with moderate speed, using unknown psionic weapon (people down there get crazy, kill each other etc...)
edit: yeah, if it will be in, youll be able to change it to any ship you want by modding, i hope

edit: also it would be nice to give it possibility to build escort ships, depending on destroyed colonies.
