	Although perhaps not an 'official' source, the dreadnought
class (as well as all the other classes, like the scout and the cargo
ship) is described in the Star Trek Technical Manual (check the
title, but that's the basic idea.) The Technical Manual does say that
the dreadnought class was never built, however. I'm not sure who
wrote this book, but I have never seen a dreadnought or heard one
mentioned in any episode.
