| The '''''Predominant''''' is a ''Nebula''-Class Star Destroyer in the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of House Plagueis. Originally commissioned at [[starwars:Ord Pardron|Ord Pardron]] during the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Vong War]], it was kept from a major combat role by that war's end and was later posted to [[starwars:Task Force Apex|Task Force Apex]], [[starwars:Galactic Alliance Fourth Fleet|Galactic Alliance Fourth Fleet]] During one of its expeditions in the Outer Rim, the ship - then named ''Civility'' - was ambushed alongside its understaffed fellow ships by the [[NSD Ascendancy]]. Overrun by the newly-trained [[Ravagers]] and taken over by the [[Subjugates]] of Plagueis, the ship's crew nevertheless held out impressively before finally being overrun. Today, it serves as a powerful part of the Plagueian war effort. | | The '''''Predominant''''' was a Star Destroyer in the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[House]] [[Plagueis]]. Originally built as the ''Civility'' at the fleet yards orbiting [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]], it was assigned to protect the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core Worlds]] and as a result avoided seeing major combat. The ''Civility'' was ambushed along with the rest of an understaffed task force by the [[NSD Ascendancy|''Ascendancy'']] and the forces of Plagueis. Attacking with lethal coordination, the Sith of Plagueis and their Ravagers boarded the ship and slaughtered its unprepared crew while their Subjugates quickly secured the vessel's systems and crew. Other vessels were already falling under the control of the Plagueians while most of the other ships present had been sabotaged in order to keep them out of the fighting. Within hours of the first shots of the assault, half of the task force had been commandeered and the rest left stranded. |

| ==History==
| | Upon their return to the Plagueis base at the Anchorage, the ''Civility'' was purged of all former control codes and fully integrated into the Ascendant Fleet as the ''Predominant''. Once crewed, the ''Predominant'' would almost immediately see combat service as part of the Dark Crusade, supporting the invasions of [[Nfolgai]] and [[starwars:Khar Delba|Khar Delba]]. As the ground operations on Khar Delba stalled, forces from the Predominant would be called in to capture a One Sith stronghold on the moon of [[starwars:Khar Shian|Khar Shian]]. |
| Built in [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|28 ABY]], the ''Nebula''-class Star Destroyer ''Civility'' was originally intended to serve as the flagship for a task force that was never finished. Manufactured at several galactic factories and ultimately assembled over Ord Pardron, this vessel joined several others as it waited for years to see duty. Ultimately, though, the Vong War would end before the ships could see any action.

|
| Due to debates and budget cuts in the Senate, and largely because of peacetime, the proposal for the new force was scrapped in [[30 ABY to 39 ABY|31 ABY]] Rather than pay to disassemble perfectly good ships, the vessels already built were assigned to Task Force Apex, and were sent to patrol and explore systems in the Outer and Mid Rim. This allowed the Alliance to make up for scout ships lost against the Vong.
| | Following the Brotherhood's victory on Ziost, the leaders of the Houses and Clans were recalled to Antei by [[Muz Ashen]]. Following that meeting, the ''Predominant'' was patrolling the Khamar Krote Hyperlane awaiting the Dread Lord Montresor's return, under orders to escort him back to the Anchorage. Under the command of [[Seabr'imsto'nedansr]], the ''Predominant'' was ambushed by hostile forces and destroyed almost immediately, unable to even get a shot off at the attackers. By the time the ''Ascendancy'' arrived, the ''Predominant'' had been reduced to debris, with Seabr'imsto'nedansr's escape pod one of the few recovered from the ambush site. |
| | |
| The ''Civility'' rarely saw more than minor confrontations with pirates, brigands, and scavengers during the following five years of service, largely due to the presence of both a ''Republic''-class vessel and an ''Acclamator''-class, the ''[[ACC Ravager|Prosperity]]''. However, as tensions rose due to the [[starwars:Swarm War|Swarm War]], Apex found itself tasked more and more toward actual combat, and began training for proper confrontations. The ship’s crew served with distinction and, despite their outdated equipment, managed to earn several honors.
| |
| | |
| In 36 ABY, the ship fell victim to the surprise attack of House Plagueis aboard the [[NSD Ascendancy|NSD ''Ascendancy'']]. The ship had been docked for minor repair and refit while its crew took shore leave, leaving the ship unprepared and undermanned when Plagueis struck. The only man with any true warning - a Jedi Knight named Kysar Thenn - only sensed their coming seconds before the Dark Siders struck. By then, it was too late, and Thenn could do nothing but try futilely to reach the fleet.

| Attacking with lethal coordination, the Sith of Plagueis and their Ravagers boarded the ship and slaughtered its unprepared crew while their Subjugates and BX-Series droids quickly took the vessel's systems and weaponry over. Before the other vessels in the group could coordinate and respond, they faced their own flagship and its fighter complement. The forces of the Ascendant House, having cramped their own vessel far beyond resource capacity, spread through the ships of the Apex detachment like a plague. With nothing standing between them but Thenn’s Padawan, a Nautolan by the name of Beelo Grom, the Dark Jedi of the House struck without mercy and took what was now theirs. Before three hours had passed, the 108th had been taken and had departed to Vaiken Spacedock, with the ''Civility'' being renamed as the ''Predominant'' by the [[Quaestor]].

| | |
| The ''Nebula''-class marks a significant advancement in design for Star Destroyers. Despite only being about sixty-five percent of the size of an ''Imperial''-class, it was designed to handle an ''Imperial-II''. The vessel is a match for another Star Destroyer, two heavy cruisers, or an entire line of smaller ships as a stock model.
| |
| | |
| Like other members of the New Class program, the ''Nebula''-class was built around a framework similar to other vessels. Standard vessels of this class held forty turbolaser batteries, forty dual turbolaser cannons, twenty ion cannon batteries, and eight tractor beam projectors. This, combined with the ship's already robust design and a hyperdrive that could match its Imperial counterpart, make the ship into a lethal weapon and a formidable factor in any space engagement. Crewed by Subjugates, who have come to forget their old lives and worship their Masters as dark gods, the vessel is now a violent tool for the Ascension of Plagueis.
| |
| | |
| The ship's underside is far different from a typical ''Nebula''-class vessel, bearing the round orbs of four gravity well generators. These are utilized to keep ships at the field of battle, much like an interdictor vessel, and are used to keep raiding targets from reaching hyperspace until they are meant to, or altogether. They are also used to set up ambushes, with cargo ships and trade frigates prematurely pulled from hyperspace and attacked unawares.

| | While the ''Ascendancy'' remained the flagship of Plagueis and the main symbol of Ascendant might, the ''Predominant'' played the role of an enforcer for the fleet; its heavy armament and efficient design well suited to take on larger ships and installations. Following its capture, gravity well generators were added to the vessel at the shipyards orbiting Antei. This modification allowed the ''Predominant'' to serve as the primary interdiction platform for House Plagueis during combined fleet operations. When not engaged in operations with the main body of the Ascendant Fleet, the ''Predominant'' most often served under the command of the House [[Aedile]], the Dread Lord's Wrath. |

| While the ''Ascendancy'' remains the flagship of Plagueis and the main symbol of Ascendant might, the ‘’Predominant’’ plays the role of an enforcer for the fleet; its high armament and efficient design has it taking on larger ships and installations. Between its already formidable stock weaponry and its long range turbolasers, this vessel is built to take down the backbone of an enemy force before they can hope to resist. Its gravity well generators, a recent addition, ensure that targets do not escape unless they are meant to.
| | [[Category:Former Plagueis starships]] |
| | |
| In addition, the ''Predominant'' often launches fighters, bombers, and raiding dropships. While the guns onboard the vessel neutralize resistance and rip apart enemy lines, these hangars pour vessels bearing Ravagers and other slaves to board enemy ships and murder or enslave their crews. As opposed to the ‘’Ascendancy’’, which plays the role of a nexus and point of control and goes wherever it can best exert control, the ‘’Predominant’’ has been nicknamed the “attack dog” of the Ascendant Fleet - it prowls the site of an engagement, ripping apart anything it can sink its teeth into.
