[@khadenallast4495]

Were it up to me the Eclipse in canon would still be an Executor-class, but highly modified by the time of the sequel era. It would first appear in lieu of Starkiller Base, popping into the Hosnian system as the Senate is convening to vote on potentially declaring war against the First Order. Of course the NR navy would be quick to react to the sudden appearance of an SSD, with planetary shields going up to protect against bombardment and a blockade forming around the planet with the NR's latest capital ship taking the lead placed directly between the SSD and the Senate building. The order to open fire is given, light begins pulsing along the hull of the SSD, collecting in the nose. A beam shoots out and hits the NR ship, massive damage to the hull is reported. Then a pulse travels through the beam, smashes through the ship and practically disintegrates it. The beam impacts the planetary shields, but it holds. One pulse, then another, and the shield fails. The Senate building has its own shields, but these weaker redundant shields are almost completely obliterated from initial contact. The capitol is hit, then repeated pulses cause the planet's very crust to begin cracking and flame erupts as the capitol city of Hosnian prime is quickly reduced to a volcanic wasteland. All of this in "story time" would take barely a minute, with the crews onboard the rest of the NR fleet completely dumbstruck by what they witnessed. However once the beam ceases they seem to regain themselves, and are out for blood and vengeance. The SSD may have a superweapon, but there's no way it could take on the entire NR fleet. Just from the way it moved it was clear that the superweapon drained a lot of power and took up a lot of space on the ship. Several Resurgents pop out of hyperspace at this point, launching their TIEs to intercept NR fighters and forming a defensive perimeter around the SSD. Slowly the SSD turns around, powering up its hyperdrives as it prepares to flee. Despite the FO's best efforts the SSD is hit in a daring attack run mere moments before it escapes, barely managing to survive but surviving all the same and fleeing to parts unknown. The RSDs then themselves turn and flee, leaving the NR navy frustrated but also now at a complete loss at what to do next. For the Resistance the answer is clear. The NR managed to badly damage the SSD, meaning it will need to be repaired. They need to hunt it down and destroy it before repairs are completed. Leia tries to convince the NR military to join her Resistance in the search, but the NRM refuses stating that to act without orders from the civilian authority would be akin to usurpation of power - and who exactly that civilian authority is now is a bit "fuzzy." The Senior Admiral in particular seems reluctant, whether out of an abundance of caution or cowardice is uncertain, though Ackbar (still a member of the NR at this point) is vehement that they should assist and nearly starts a revolt. Leia is put in the awkward position of having to talk Ackbar and his supporters down from giving her the aid she requested, as she fears what would happen if the NR military were to be fractured at this point, and the Resistance conducts the search alone. Through its spy network, along with calculating its trajectory and known hyperspace lanes in that region, the Resistance discovers a few potential areas where the Eclipse may have stopped for repairs. Finn however suggests a location that's not among any of them, as he served as a janitor on a rather nondescript space station that was somewhere between where the Eclipse was last spotted and where it was suggested it might be. The space station in question used as a sort of "way station" for alloys mined from asteroids in a "dead" system (one with no planets). Some of these alloys, it's theorized, would be necessary to repair the damage done to the Eclipse. And so the Resistance contacts the New Republic, tells them of their plan, and again asks for help. This time the aforementioned Senior Admiral seems to have solidified his grip over the rest of the military and is the only one Leia speaks to, and says that no help is forthcoming as it's based on guesswork and the word of a former First Order stormtrooper, and to him feels more like a trap or wild goose chase than anything (in turn all but accusing Finn of being a First Order spy). The Resistance musters all of its forces and launches an assault on the Eclipse, arriving in the system and seeing that Finn's hunch was indeed correct and the ship is using the supplies gathered from the asteroid field to repair the ship. However the RSDs are there too, along with their massive complement of TIEs and powerful turbolasers. The Resistance has fury on its side, the First Order has pretty much everything else. Just when all hope seems lost a NR battle group under the command of Admiral Ackbar shows up, informing Leia that when she was able to confirm that the Eclipse was indeed within the system he was able to persuade the Senior Admiral to send his battle group in to support her Resistance - and a line is sneaked in that more reinforcements may be on their way, whether they had the blessing of the Admiral or not. With NR reinforcements, with their latest ships and fighters, the NR and Resistance overwhelm the RSDs and the SSD, destroying the SSD and forcing the RSDs to begin a retreat before they can escape to hyperspace. Everyone rejoices... until the RSDs start doing something weird. Even though they're badly damaged and lost at least one or two of their number, they start turning back to face the Resistance and New Republic. While some of the more "hot blooded" among the pilots/crew welcome their "obvious desire for death," Leia and Ackbar are wary. Something is wrong, but what? Three First Order battle groups arrive, each containing at least 3 RSDs and an Eclipse-class star dreadnought. Though their class is named after the Eclipse, the Eclipse was a prototype built on a preexisting frame, these are the final product that were built from the ground-up. They're actually slightly smaller, and have fewer guns (at least they have no heavy turbolasers or similar "heavy" weapons). However they're more maneuverable, and still all have the "superlaser" - which is more powerful and not as taxing on their reactors - which they use to completely decimate the NR and Resistance forces. Ackbar ends up sacrificing himself and much of his fleet to protect Leia and the Resistance, buying time for them to flee the battle. However what was a great victory turned into a terrible route. Their defeat of the Eclipse not only cost them dearly, but was used instead to show just how powerful the First Order had become. Now I want to take a moment to point out that some of the politics mentioned here would come in handy in Ep8, specifically how the Senior Admiral was against sending forces to help search for/destroy the Eclipse. This explains why the New Republic refuses to help the Resistance later on, as he had been afraid it was a trap and, lo and behold, he was "proven right" (it was more just a "happy coincidence" for the First Order, they already had support coming to the Eclipse's aid and when the Resistance showed up they made the most of it, even though it cost them the Eclipse itself which is no small trade for them). It is also a subplot for Finn, with some even in the Resistance now believing he may be a spy for the First Order who purposefully led them into a trap. To fully explore this I also imagine Finn having a more fleshed out character, with him constantly struggling between the need to stop the First Order while also knowing how kids are abducted and brainwashed by them to become their rank-and-file members (including stormtroopers like himself). I imagine Ep8 exploring this even more deeply, with Finn trying to recruit First Order stormtroopers to his cause and at least one of them turning out to be a traitor. And as for what Rey, Luke, Kylo, and Han are doing in all of this, that's a whole other can of worms.

Fun idea, I would think the armour and bulk would be thick enough that those 100 tractor beams could very well yank fighters or corvettes right into the eclipse, doing a lot of the job that point defence guns would do

Thrawn:”It is… acceptable.”

[@radicalrob2103]

Great job MetaNerdz!

[@georgefeser6483]

I like the concept. Mobile Death Star.

[@UI_Shaggy05]

Talk about the mon calamari viscount star defender, the new republic's largest ship

[@thelimesheep4324]

We need these ships in our space force when we go to explore the galaxy. only way to show aliens we know how to blow stuff up

[@TheNzFox]

I can't help but think that this or the Thrawn books would have made FAR more interesting movies than what we got

[@mrgunn2726]

Three quarters of a million crew? That is a lot of air, water, food, and personal waste. Amateurs concern themselves with tactics, professionals concern themselves with logistics.

[@carterbowman1149]

so much for the Ahsoka vid coming out this month

[@MetaNerdzLore]

Lol yeah. I don't get the point though, obviously if I could snap my fingers that would be out first. The fact it isn't is proof that it was not possible

[@isaacmaier4150]

Look I love Star Wars Legends all the crazy super weapons and other ships, but this is too much. also congrats on 200K subs.

[@treybray5014]

So you said that Tyberr Zann kept an eye on the ship while it was being built for 4 years, but how long exactly does it take to build one of these?

[@twistedyogert]

The good thing about this idea is that once the rebellious world has been reduced to a smoldering lifeless husk, it can later be mined to create more of these death machines.

[@jaroto12]

There is an entire galaxy of people im sure there are enough people

[@gmradio2436]

Between this and the mega class star dreadnought, this ship functions better as a flagship, CCC, a hammer, and a home for a government in exile. Fun fact, this ships first appearance in Dark Empire, it ramms anouther ship while leaving hyperspace and us unharmed. The other ship was destroyed.

[@vonneely1977]

Or just skip it entirely and build a few million TIE Defenders instead.

[@absolutetriad7714]

Gosh!

[@dragnarok4286]

i mean we did see an x-wing destroy corvette size defence turrets with a single shot on a dreadnought so if fighters are capable that much than yeah why not they could destroy anything they would encounter .

[@Freesorin837]

The Empire could’ve saved a lot of time and resources whilst maintaining destructive capacity by just using strategic level nukes.

[@ronaldthompson4989]

They point of these superweapons isn't to kill the enemy; an Acclamator class troop transport can slag the crust of an average sized planet in a day. These were to kill planets permanently, making a statement to anyone thinking about challenging the government. Papatine took the Tarkin Doctrine (which basically said its impossible to make enough ships to properly patrol the entire empire, therefore we need something intimidating enough they wont attack in the first place) to heart

[@concept5631]

​@@ronaldthompson4989 I mean, they were onto something. The galaxy is far too big for a dictatorship to oppress in the same vain that a planet based on would. Of course you could just not be a dictatorship in the first place, but that is out of the question here.

[@ronaldthompson4989]

@@concept5631 bit ironic, more concerned the Empire was by rebellion, the more it accelerated build programs, the more it clamped down on workers to ensure quotas, the more hatred of the Empire grew, the more the rebellion grew. Self fulfilling prophecy situation

[@concept5631]

@@ronaldthompson4989 This is why the Republic existed for over 25,000 years, while the Empire didn't even make it to 30.

[@ronaldthompson4989]

@@concept5631 well, that and Sheev Palpatine refusing the contemplate a path of succession because no way anything could happen to the current Emperor, resulting in every admiral, general, and governor using the forces under their personal command to carve out their own Empires. Eventually a ruling council formed and reunited the remaining loyalist forces, but by then, the Empire was very much inferior to the newborn Republic. Still proved quite stubborn and cunning in joint efforts against invasions of hostile species though (fuck off, Disneyverse)

The *#StarWarsEU** Eclipse Class Dreadnaught* is, by far, my all-time favourite Empire ship, from the entire *#StarWars* franchise!
