Darth Talliusc Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 i would most definitely put money on the executor, simply because it had the best crew. vader made sure his flagship had the best of the best of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rommel Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 The Eclipse was made in the time of the REBORN Emperor... I believe that at that time, the Empire was strapped for cash... the Executer was made with the best materials available... My pick is the Executer, althought, I'm not entirely sure of ANY of what I've said above.... Which book (or series of books) does the Eclipse show up in? I'd like to read something about it.

XERXES Posted July 13, 2002 Author Share Posted July 13, 2002 i just searched in google... Emperor Palpatine was never one for subtlety. His Empire has been built on a foundation of rule through terror. When he reappeared on the galactic stage six years after his apparent "death" at the Battle of Endor, he returned to his old wars of grandoise weapons and attacks of stunning brutality. Renewed in a fresh clone body, Palpatine gathered his allies from the remaining from the remaining Imperial factions and directed his forces from a new command vessel, the Eclipse. The Eclipse was a new Super Star Destroyer that was a stunning 17.5 kilometers long: it was twice the size of the original Super Star Destroyer and over ten times the size of Imperial Star Destroyers. The Emperor's new flagship was as much a symbol of Palpatines thirst for power as it was military matériel. The incredible ship was deliberatly designed to frighten enemy forces, for a frightened enemy is a defeated enemy. The ship was solid black, and its hull resembled that of naval warships of eras long past. The Eclipse easily achieved its objective of demoralizing enemy troops. In combat, the Eclipse's hull and shields were so strong that it could ram enemy vessels without hesitation. The ship was equipped with ten gravity-well projectors to prevent evemy vessels from escaping to hyperspace. Five hundred heavy laser cannons and 550 turbolasers made the ship capable of engaging entire New Republic fleets. The Eclipse carried fifty squadrons of TIE interceptors (six hundred ships) and eight squadrons of TIE bombers. The Eclipse was also inteded to devastate entire worlds. Its main weapon was a superlaser weapon, although its power was only two-thirds that of the main weapon aboard the first Death Star-it was "merely" powerful enough to crack the crust of a planet rather than destroy it outright. For ground assualts, the Eclipse carried five prefabricated garrison bases and one hundred AT-AT walkers. With a crew of over 700,000 beings and 150,000 troops, the destroyer rivaled the Death Star in sheer manpower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twins of Doom Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 the eclipse had way more fire power...i have the book that has all the star wars ships and vehicles....the eclipse has a miny super laser andwould destroy the executer with one blast....that laser can destroy the crust of one planet (aka destroy everybody on the planet, and you'd still have the planet there too)!

Kyth'emos Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Are you kidding ? The Eclipse class Star Destroyer has a super laser 2 thirds the power of the death star's, buh bye Executer. plus its got ALOT more guns and better shields. the only thing the Executor would have is manuverability but that would be very insignifigant with two ships of such a high mass.

Kyth'emos Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 A few stats from Galactic Empire Databank: Executor: Weapons: 250 Turbolaser Batteries 250 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries 250 Concussion Missile Tubes 250 Ion Cannons 40 Phylon Q7 Tractor Beam Projectors Shields and hull:Shields 96000 SBD. Hull 45712 RU Eclpise: Weapons: 1 Forward Axial Superlaser 500 Turbolaser Batteries 75 Ion Cannons 100 Tractor Beam Emplacements 10 Gravity Well Projectors Shields and hull: [no data damn] but look at the weapons, specifically mthe super laser, 1 shot and the SSD would be gone, so would a small moon.

JandoFett1842 Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Eclipse's superlaser could take out most ships in one shot, It can also ram some ships without worry that it will take damage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"most ships"? I imagine it could destroy a death star in one shot, or a small moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executer being 17600, Eclipse being 17500 meters. http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-icapital.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Talliusc Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 just out of curiousity because i never read that story line, umm how did they get rid of the eclipse in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lime-Light Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 The emporer summoded one of his huge "force storms" (big force space tornado basically, sucks stuff up, spits it out in bad shape) but couldnt control it, it destroyed the Eclipse, alon with most of the new rebublic ships. Luke and Leia narrowly escaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
