Dreadnought crew complement[]

If Dreadnoughts were twice bigger than Command Carriers, then it would be logical to assume that their crew complement per ship would also be twice as large as that of Command Carriers (50,000), which would be 100,000. -Mardus (talk) 11:14, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

So I was thinking that this would make the death toll at the Battle of Qujaga all the more greater. -Mardus (talk) 11:46, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Remember that Scarrans are larger than Peacekeepers, and thus take up more space. I'm not even sure where the 20,000 crew members number even comes from. -- sulfur (talk) 12:06, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
In short, no. Not really. I can see why you'd be tempted to think so however we do know the systems and technology employed on either ship. We don't have the numbers on who does what, or how many crewman serve in each particular. For example the number of engineers, cooks, repair men, internal security, etc. We can logically assume the ship would have to have them but it's not talked about as to how many of each there would be. In simplest terms what I am saying is that we do not know the way the systems of either ship are designed in depth. We don't know why a CC uses 50k crewmen so we can't say whether or not the Scarran Dreadnought share similar operation systems. If the Scarrans use more automation then the complement could be less or vice versa.24.18.163.5 15:11, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Didn't the Scarran Dreadnoughts also had flak cannons or something similar? The page for the Scarran Dreadnoughts says they had fighters but nothing about weapons. Esparza3368 (talk) 02:37, July 15, 2020 (UTC)
