The navigational deflector dish and forward disruptor cannon occupy the bow; the deflector color may vary from blue to yellow or orange. Two additional impulse engines, various disruptor cannons and two warp engines are embedded in two large fin-shaped extensions to port and starboard. A fork-shaped disruptor beam weapon sits at the far aft protecting the stern. Starfleet Intelligence believed that 63 new Galor class starships were built in an average year.

Dreadnought dissapeared before it left the badlands and was assumed lost, however in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, dreadnought is discovered in the Delta quadrant, (having apparently been taken there by the same being that took Voyeger - the caretaker) travelling to a planet it believes the be the target - Torres boards dreadnought in an attempt to convince it that this planet is not its target before its too late. After several failed attempts by Voyager and the intended target's fleet to stop it by force, Torres disables a critical system on board and is transported off before dreadnought is destroyed.
