Revision as of 01:37, 10 May 2017
The Nebula-Class Star Destoyer Dark Paladin is a part of the Fleet of Scholae Palatinae and serves as Clan Scholae Palatinae's flagship and base of command when away from the Cocytus System, and travels with the rest of the First Flotilla as escort.
Vessel Info
The Nebula-Class Star Destroyer is a recent New Republic design which was meant to go head-to-head with any one enemy Imperial II-Class Star Destroyer and come out on top, using less resources to build than the larger Imperial II. Built as a multi-purpose capital warship, it's also capable of bringing in even more firepower to a battle thanks to hangar capacity for up to sixty starfighters. Essentially a self-contained fleet, it is a formidable opponent.
History
Service to the Palpatines

The ship is currently commanded by Admiral Ail'en Sommetra, previous Commander of the original Excidium. She has proven her worth as an outstanding and loyal officer, capable of handling her ship and crew to high levels of efficiency. Currently she also serves as the day-to-day commanding officer of the entire Clan fleet, as well as when the Fleet Commander is unavailable.
Under the former name of Excidium II, the flagship of the Clan was sent into battle during the Eleventh Great Jedi War where is saw heavy battle above the planet of Korriban for weeks. The ship sustained heavy damage structurally, losing nearly 75% of its weapons placements and half the crew holding position along with the rest of the fleet. Immediately following the war, it limped back to the Cocytus System where it spent considerable time undergoing repairs. As the former House Scholae Palatinae was once again elevated to Clan, one of the two new Houses was named as Excidium. After being completely rebuilt, the flagship was relaunched as the Dark Paladin to serve the reborn Clan.
Deployment
During periods of large-scale combat, the Dark Paladin serves as the Clan's flagship. When not engaged in active battle, the ship is usually guarding the Imperial Palace, the main Clan Headquarters on Judecca.
In any battle, it is normally not used in a command capacity, since the ISD II Warspite fulfills this role where the Second and Third Flotillas operate along with the Expeditionary Forces. As per standard Clan philosophy, the ship is almost never used without a full understanding of the threats that face her in combat, so she only engages when the course of action is clear and understood.
