Chitain dreadnought

The Chitain dreadnought represents the pinnacle of their shipbuilding technology. This massive capital ship measures easily twice the size of a Colonial battlestar, with spires jutting from its topside and its entire circumference surrounded by propulsory tentacles. From its belly hang multiple long stingers whose glowing crimson tips can whip from side to side, firing devastating energy bursts that leave only "lingering scars on the face of the universe."

The dreadnought is nearly indestructible and surrounded by an almost impenetrable forcefield. During the Battle of Kobol, Colonial forces discover that the only effective attack strategy is to remain close to the ship's underbelly, as the Chitain cannot turn their weapons on attackers without risking damage to their own vessel.

The massive stinger appendages on the dreadnought are as wide across as a Viper is long and are heavily shielded, making them difficult to damage even with concentrated fire.
