Eclipse-class Super Star Dreadnaught

The Eclipse-class command ship is the largest, most powerful warship ever built. Construction of it started during the height of the Civil War, but with the demise of the Emperor and the subsequent anarchy, the completion of the ship did not come until the Reborn Emperor took his seat upon Byss six years later. It was meant to command fleets of Sovereign-class warships, but this never came to be. The original, prototype Eclipse was 17,500 m long but the finished Eclipse II and all later warships in this class are 16,000 m long. The main weaponry of the ship is a superlaser that can penetrate any defensive shield and turn the planet below to cinder in a single full powered shot, and devastate any warship at nominal charge once per minute 11 times per day, at twice the range of the most powerful turbolasers. The main conventional weaponry of the vessel consists of laser cannons with firepower comparable to heavy turbolasers, as well as heavy turbolaser batteries with superior accuracy. In addition to this formidable arsenal, the ship has a reinforced structure and can simply ram enemy ships at will. Finally, it sports gravity well generators and can prevent hyperspatial travel on its own.

The ship has extensive repair and maintenance facilities and have been noted as completely self-sufficient. It could probably well serve as a fleet utility and logistics platform on top of its other functions. While the carrier space has been distributed into several smaller hangars, one could fit a Victory-class Star Destroyer. It is fully equipped with ECM and ECCM as well as long-range communication suites, and it has enough power to cause massive jamming effects. Most enemies simply flee in the face of the dreaded ship rather than stay to fight. Ref note: Stats revised to reflect SW:ITW.
