Ironically, the "Dreadnaught-class" heavy cruiser is not a dreadnought at all, as all dreadnoughts are classified to be more than 5,000 meters long in SW universe.

"The Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, or simply the Dreadnaught, was a type of capital ship built for planetary occupation and space combat used by the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, New Republic, local governments, and various other organizations."
