The Ascendancy is a Lucrehulk-class battleship that serves as the flagship of Clan Plagueis and its Ascendant Fleet. Originally commissioned into the Confederacy Navy in the waning days of the Clone Wars, the ship was thought lost for decades after making a blind hyperspace jump. Recovered by agents of Arx Capital Exchange operating at the behest of Regent Zxyl Bes'uliik Taldrya, it was sold to Clan Plagueis in 41 ABY to replace the Imperial-class destroyer Ascendancy.

Role

The Ascendancy serves as the focal point of the entire Ascendant Fleet, operating as its overall flagship. Not only does it serve as a command vessel and strongest single vessel in terms of firepower, it also acts as the primary deployment platform for Plagueis's ground forces, able to launch C-9979 landing ships from its massive hangar deck. Armed with a Kyber-Powered Bombardment Cannon, the Ascendancy is also a fearsome weapon against enemy warships as well as to ground targets during orbital bombardments. When operating as part of both individual fleet elements or the combined fleet, it served as a crucial part of the main battle line that directly engaged enemy targets.
