| }}The [[starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-class]] [[starwars:Star Destroyer|Star Destroyer]] '''''Ascendancy''''' is part of the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]], serving as the command ship for [[House]] [[Ajunta Pall]]. Originally found as a ruined hull by Plagueis following the [[Eighth Great Jedi War|Vong Incursion]], the ship was refitted at [[Antei]] and granted to the House. | | }}The '''''Ascendancy''''' was part of the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]], serving as the command ship for [[House]] [[Ajunta Pall]]. |
| | |
| It has served the Ascendant Clan through many conflicts and was almost destroyed during the destruction of the [[Jusadih System]], only to carry Plagueis to safety. After their capture of elements of the [[starwars:Galactic Alliance|Galactic Alliance]] [[starwars:Galactic Alliance Fourth Fleet|Fourth Fleet's]] [[starwars:Task Force Apex|Task Force Apex]], the vessel returned to Plagueis space to receive proper repairs - as well as extensive upgrades, purchased with the spoils of plunder and the Dark Lord's favor. It long served as the flagship of House Plagueis, but was replaced in that role by the [[Khyron-class Star Destroyer]] [[KSD Transcendent|''Transcendent'']].
| |
| | |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| The ship's armament is considerable, consisting of forty turbolaser and dual turbolaser turrets each. It bears twenty ion cannon batteries for disabling enemy shields and systems, while also holding eight tubes for assault concussion missiles. Each such tube holds thirty individual missiles. The ship is equipped with eight tractor beam projectors, allowing it to ensnare smaller ships for boarding. Its most impressive weapons are four long-range turbolasers; these experimental weapon systems give the ''Ascendancy'' stand off attack capabilities that most ships lack.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| Commissioned one year prior to the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Vong invasion]], the ''Nebula''-class Star Destroyer ''Delusion'' originally served in a defensive capacity. After minimal service, the ship was pushed onto the front lines of the Outer Rim, where it found itself brutally outmatched by the extragalactic invaders. Essentially gutted, the Destroyer was abandoned by the Vong invaders and left to drift.
| |
| | |
| It was during a commercial flight to the planet [[starwars:Bespin|Bespin]] that a trading vessel from Jusadih came across the hull. The government overseer on board - a Plagueian in disguise - reported the vessel's location to [[Consul]] [[Alaris Jinn di Plagia|Jinn]] before executing everyone on board. Jinn sent out repair crews sufficient to get the vessel back to Jusadih, where repairs were completed and a few quick adjustments listed the vessel as an official part of the system's navy. Presenting the vessel to the [[Dark Council]] on the heels of his recent Insurrection and the [[Ninth Great Jedi War|Retaking of Antei]], he received the blessing of the [[Iron Throne]]. The ship became known as the ''Ascendancy'', and became the flagship of the Plagueian fleet.
| |
| | |
| The vessel would go on to serve the House well, maintaining peace in Jusadih through the [[Spoils of War|Salas V Debacle]], the [[Disorder]], and the [[Tenth Great Jedi War|Invasion of New Tython]]. It would feature prominently in the [[Summer Invasion (HSP)|Orian Incursion]], and was one of the last bastions of Plagueian survival during [[Zoraan|Archibald Zoraan’s]] strike involving the [[Horizons|Plague of Lysu Thren]]. It was during this conflict, and the ensuing fight against Zoraan’s remaining weaponry and the attack of the [[starwars:Starweird|Starweird]] unleashed by Zoraan’s followers, that the ‘’Ascendancy’’ would serve as Plagueis’ last hope of escape from the destruction of Jusadih.
| |
| | |
| Having ordered a jump to coordinates discovered on a previous mission, [[Quaestor]] [[Tra'an Reith|Reith]] found that the badly wounded ship had arrived at a derelict station of the old Sith Empire. A few weeks of raiding, repairs, and the capture of the new [[Ascendant Fleet]] became the prelude to the return of Plagueis from the brink. The ''Ascendancy'', along with the rest of the Plagueian fleet, would make itself known once again to the rest of the Brotherhood during the opening minutes of the invasion of [[Nfolgai]].

| ==Role== | | ==Role== |
| The ''Ascendancy'' serves as one of the primary naval assets of Plagueis. Its firepower is considerable, but it is also quite versatile; this is bolstered by the added weaponry and equipment. As such, the ship plays the role of a nexus when engaged in combat. In addition, the ''Ascendancy'' embarks a small ground force of battle droids. The droids are specially trained in boarding actions, serving to defend the vessel from any possible incursion. During planetary assault missions under the authority of House Ajunta Pall, the ''Ascendancy'' is tasked with the transport and deployment of elements of Army Force Rancor, the House's assigned ground unit. These troops can also be deployed for planetary operations or raids, but most often the ground troops from the [[ACC Ravager|''Ravager'']] are used in this role. | | The ''Ascendancy'' served as one of the primary naval assets of Plagueis.

| |
| ===Attached Craft===
| |
| Currently attached to the ''Ascendancy'' are 5 squadrons of fighters:
| |
| | |
| *Harpoon Squadron ([[T-65XJ X-wing starfighter - Plagueis|T-65XJ X-wing]]) - Superiority/Attack
| |
| *Sabre Squadron ([[T-65AC4 X-wing - Plagueis|T-65AC4 X-wings]]) - Superiority
| |
| *Broadsword Squadron ([[T-65AC4 X-wing - Plagueis|T-65AC4 X-wings]]) - Superiority
| |
| *Dagger Squadron ([[RZ-1 A-wing - Plagueis|A-wings]]) - Recon/Interception
| |
| *Halberd Squadron ([[B-51 B-wing - Plagueis|B-wing Bombers]]) - Heavy Assault
| |
| | |
| The ''Ascendancy'' also carries a squadron of various transport craft, including aerospace lift elements of Army Force Rancor, for passenger transportation and troop deployment:
| |
| | |
| *2 [[Lambda-class T-4a shuttle - Plagueis|''Lambda''-class shuttles]]
| |
| *2 [[Nu-class attack shuttle - Plagueis|''Nu''-class shuttles]]
| |
| *10 [[Multi Altitude Assault Transport - Plagueis|Multi Altitude Assault Transports]]
| |
| *5 [[Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry - Plagueis|LAAT/i gunships]]
| |
| *3 [[Low Altitude Assault Transport/carrier - Plagueis|LAAT/c gunships]]
| |
| | |
| ===Ground Forces===
| |
| During normal operations, the only troops carried on board the ''Ascendancy'' are a unit of battle droids. These are specially programmed to excel in the role of fleet marines, and also require little support in the form of resources or facilities when they are inactive. The battle droids carried by the ''Ascendancy'' are also linked via a command signal directly into the central computer, giving them highly optimized performance while they are on board.
| |
| | |
| * 2 [[B2 super battle droid - Plagueis|B2 super battle droid]] companies - 330 units
| |
| | |
| During ground assault operations, however, additional troops and equipment drawn from the House's ground force command, Army Force Rancor, can be embarked.
