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 ESSD Themis was devised as ESD Nemesis successor to the Nemesis project,
should the NIF ever fall. With the loss of the Nemesis during C1M19, Themis
was called in to do battle and lead the fleets of the NIF. Ref note: Stats revised to
