In any battle, it is normally not used in a command capacity, since the ISD II ''[[ISDII Warspite|Warspite]]'' fulfills this role. 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.

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

Acquisition

The Excidium II has the daunting task to live up to the long and proud history of its' prior namesake, the original Excidium. The ship was stolen from the Republic Engineering Corporation shipyards in the Mon Calamari system by a special operations team headed by long-standing Clan Scholae Palatinae member, Timbal during the events of Operation: Reclamation. Shortly after it was stolen, it rendezvoused with its' new crew, and the crew had a chance to immediately prove their worth by engaging and destroying the New Republic pursuit force that had chased them down.

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.


Deployment

During periods of large-scale combat, the Excidium II obviously serves as the Clan's flagship. When not engaged in active battle, the ship is usually guarding the main Clan Headquarters Facility on Judecca. Of course, due to the massive losses sustained by the Clan during the Yuuzhan Vong Incursion, the crew is rated as Regular, which of course is being remedied by the the Admiral.

Although the Clan Leadership is still experimenting with tactics, current Clan battle plans calls for the Excidium II to be used as the hammer for fleet operations, much as the original Excidium was used for. When properly outfitted with its' entire starfighter and bomber complement, it is also designated as it's own Task Force, Task Force Rancor Horde.

The Pride of the CSP Navy: NSD Excidium II.

In any battle, it is normally not used in a command capacity, since the ISD II Warspite fulfills this role. 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.
