Dreadnought (Final Fantasy II)

Template:Sideicon

The Dreadnought.

The Dreadnought (大戦艦, Daisenkan?, lit. Great Warship) is a Palamecian ultimate airship in Final Fantasy II. A giant warship, it can crush entire towns from the air. It is accessible once the player obtains the Sunfire at Kashuan.

After boarding the Dreadnought the player must get past a guard. The Pass item can be presented to get passed, or the player can select the Wild Rose key term to engage in a battle against the Captain enemy, who, once defeated, will be removed to let the player pass. All other soldiers on the ship will start an encounter against a Captain enemy, but the soldier will remain on the field if the player wins.

Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

The Dreadnought was built by the enslaved people of Bafsk under the supervision of the Dark Knight. Production was later taken over by Borghen, when the Dark Knight was supposedly called away. Firion and the party arrive in Bafsk and try to destroy the Dreadnought before it is completed. They are too late, and the airship takes off and lays waste to Poft, Altair, Gatrea, and Paloom.

After the party obtains the Sunfire from Kashuan on the advice of Cid to destroy the warship, the Dreadnought captures Cid's airship and Princess Hilda with him. The Dreadnought lands in a remote area near Palamecia to refuel where the party sneaks onboard and rescue Cid and Princess Hilda—who later is revealed to have been impersonated. After making their way to the warship's core, the party plants the Sunfire in the Dreadnought's engine and escapes as it explodes in a torrent of flames.

Etymology

[view · edit · purge]Dreadnoughts were a type of battleship popular in the first half of the 20th century before the advent of the aircraft carrier made them obsolete. They were gigantic heavily armored ships noted for an "all-big-gun" design that allowed for great firing range while being well-protected. The term "dreadnought" comes from the first major ship of this design, the 1906 HMS Dreadnought. The word means "fear nothing".
