Mandator V-class Heavy Siege DreadnoughtShip Class: Heavy Star Cruiser Ship Role: Siege Dreadnought Ship Length: 12,000 meters Agility (A): 2 Defensive (D): 3 Offensive (O): 5 Speed (S): 2 Special Gear: 2 (Reinforced Prow, Advanced Targeting System) Description:Kuat-Entralla Engineering conceived of, designed, and built the Mandator V-class Heavy Siege Dreadnought as an evolutionary progression of the Mandator IV design. They took the base shape of the Mandator IV and fused it with the curved prow of the Eclipse-class and the cutout hull sections from the Conservator-class ( Side View.). The curved prow of the ship worked well as a reinforced ram for large capital ships and defence stations. The cut out sections provided protected hangar access for the Mandator V's fighter complement of 168 Starfighters. The flat triangle shape also proved useful for mounting the Orbital Autocannons beneath the Dreadnought, while an additional pair were mounted along the sides toward the Prow. A secondary sighting bridge was used as both the main Bridge in an emergency, but as a sighting tower under all other circumstances. A litany of guns spotted the surface of the Mandator V, while 12,000 Stromtroopers called the vessel home. An advanced targeting system allowed the Autocannons to be deadly accurate against most decently sized targets, while aiding the remaining weapons in their accuracy. Armament:4 Orbital Autocannons 20 Quad Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 20 Twin Medium Turbolaser Batteries 25 Twin Ion Cannons 26 Point-Defense Laser Cannons 10 Heavy Tractor Beam Projectors

I don't know if a ship of this size can handle four orbital autocannons, considering the Mandator IV is about the same size and has two, but also doesn't have the full complement of weaponry like this vessel does have.

Disney ship design is... suspect to say the least. Given the Mandator IV was pretty much designed to be defeated by a single strafing run on its 26 anti-starfighter guns and then was destroyed by the galaxy's arguably worst bomber in existence... Not sure I'd trust it as a use-case.
That aside, certainly happy to expand a bit more detail on it being supported by a pair of reactors to explain better how it's able to manage such power requirements. Alternatively, could place some operational restrictions, such as most of the guns being inoperable when the Orbital Autocannons are charging and firing (with the Point-Defense Laser Cannons being the operable weapons), alternatively only one pair of cannons can fire/charge/be used at a time so the choice would need to be made between the bilge mounted or prow mounted cannons. Also happy to up this to a Heavy Star Cruiser and increase its size up to around 10-12km?

Upped the length to 12,000 meters, pushing it up a size bracket.

Part of me wants to see a fleet of these obnoxious monstrosities. Part of me balks at that thought.
Anyways, APPROVED.
