The Eclipse was equipped with a bevy of weapons and other technologies, including gravity well projectors, but chief among its weapons was an axial superlaser, capable of cracking a planet's crust or destroying a capital ship in a single blow.įor much of its existence, the Eclipse was under construction around the planet Kuat. Both a powerful technological tool and a potent psychological weapon, the Eclipse boasted a planet's worth of weaponry and was almost unstoppable.

The Eclipse was the first Eclipse-class dreadnought ever constructed and the lead ship and prototype of its class.
