Talk:Eclipse (Eclipse-class)

It is good that we finally have a page on the Eclipse. And not to spoil things, but shouldn't it be at Eclipse I? -- SFH 00:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it was never specifically called Eclipse I. I think it should stay here. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 00:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's strange, because even though the Death Star I has been referred to as such, it really didn't get a I until the second was built. Am I right? Would the same post-destruction reasoning work here as well? VT-16 07:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. I guess it should be moved to Eclipse I. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Eclipse from EaW: FoC
There was some talk that the Prototype Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought should be merged into this page. Any ideas? (Sirius Shadowflame 16:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC))

Correction
"the near-completed Eclipse activated the superlaser main weapon and utterly destroyed the Executor-class command ship in one blast, followed up by the Consortium fleet mopping up the rest." - This is incorrect. In FoC, the turbolaser was offline when the Annihilator showed up. 67.185.76.131 07:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Time of construction
Is there anything in FOC that specifically says it started to built around the time of Yavin? The DE Sourcebook specifically says it was started following Hoth. Kuralyov 05:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Tyber Zann learns of the Eclipse shortly after the Battle of Yavin in the game, but I don't think it's stated that it was in construction at the time. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 10:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

From Talk:Prototype Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought
I was under the impression that the Eclipse in EaW: FoC was a singular, unique vessel rather than a class of ship. (Sirius Shadowflame 16:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC))
 * It's a part of the Eclipse-class. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it makes sense to merge them. - JMAS 14:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Now that the game is out, I think we can all agree that the Eclipse in EaW: FoC is indeed the Eclipse we all know and love. (Sirius Shadowflame 16:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC))

Forces of corruption
Has it been shown that the vessel in FOC is the same as Eclipse? in that case, we'd better redirect to it. VT-16 10:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No, that Insider issue says it was a prototype. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:52, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Problem is, Dark Empire Sourcebook also called it that. And had a later time frame for the design, but that could easily have been retconned now. The Eclipse in the game's storyline, is only used once, during its attempted theft over Kaut, after the battle of Endor. Then Zann abandones it and orders it destroyed. VT-16 13:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * But I take it it isn't destroyed. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:01, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently, that isn't shown. Which means he just disabled it and set its construction back some years, which then fits neatly into the events of Dark Empire, six years later. VT-16 17:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I still think we should keep them separate for now. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The game is out now, and it never calls the Eclipse a prototype. Zann steals the thing in the last mission of the campaign over Kuat when it is still under construction, and then steals the information stored on its computers to further his corruption. He also mentions that he does not want the ship because it will be too big of a target, but it does not mention what he does with the ship afterwards. I would assume he probably sold it back to the Empire remnants, but I don't know. (Sirius Shadowflame 17:21, 29 October 2006 (UTC))
 * One of the developer's comments here indicates that the Eclipse-class in FoC is the Eclipse, not a prototype. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh boy... Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it makes sense, since *the* Eclipse was supposed to be *the* prototype. jSarek 14:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? That solves it and we can merge the articles. VT-16 07:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Powah of the s00perlaser
Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels pg 46:

"The Eclipse was also intended 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."

What is the status of this, and does it only pertain to the Eclipse I itself, or its successor ship class? DarthMRN 10:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
