The Eclipse
As long as there have been space fleets, there have been ships designed as command ships, specially armed and armored to serve as symbols of a civilization’s power and prestige. Commanded by warlords or generals, they have often turned the tide of battles. The Eclipse, first in a line of new Super Star Destroyers, was the Emperor’s flagship at the Battle of Pinnacle Base; unfortunately for the Empire, the Eclipse was destroyed in that fateful confrontation. The history of the Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyers is worth noting. This ship was commissioned by Palpatine, to be designed to fit his exact specifications. It was to be the latest in a long line of super weapons. Years in the making, the first of these, the Eclipse, was first planned following the Battle of Hoth. After the Battle of Endor, many suggested the ship be scrapped in favor of more Star Destroyers, yet construction always continued. When finally launched, six years after Endor, the prototype, with its ebony alloyed hull, incorporated all the significant weapons improvements of the past few decades, including gravity well projectors, improved ion cannons and new enhanced hyperdrive and sublight engines for maximum reaction speed. Fifty TIE Interceptor
and eight TIE bomber squadrons nestled inside cavernous hangars large enough for an entire Victory-class Star Destroyer. Measuring over 17,000 meters long, the Eclipse was one of the largest fighting ships ever constructed. All troops on board are specially selected,
including a newly formed legion of Royal Guards and a COMPForce Assault Battalion. There are support troops to man the five prefabricated garrison bases and 100 multi-environment All Terrain Armored Transports. The Emperor has also added a cadre of Sovereign Protectors as his personal bodyguards. The most important advancement in the Eclipse is its main weapon, a spine-mounted superlaser modeled on the main weapon of the Death Star itself. The Death Star’s prime weapon was composed of eight individual lasers that could focus together, generating enough power to destroy an entire planet. By comparison, the Eclipse carries only a single laser, but recent focusing and generator advances make this ray much more powerful than the units used on the Death Star. The beam packs enough destructive power to shatter the most powerful planetary shields and sear whole continents in a flash.
