| }} | | }}The '''''Ascendancy''''' was part of the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[Clan]] [[Plagueis]], serving as the command ship for [[House]] [[Ajunta Pall]]. |
| | |
| The ''Nebula''-class Star Destroyer '''''Ascendancy''''' is the flagship of the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[Plagueis (House)|House Plagueis]]. 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. | |
| | |
| It has served the Ascendant House through many conflicts and was almost destroyed during the destruction of the [[Jusadih System]], only to carry Plagueis to safety at the old Vaiken Spacedock. After their capture of the 108th Expeditionary Scout Fleet, the vessel returned to Antei to recieve proper repairs - as well as extensive upgrades, purchased with the spoils of plunder and the Dark Lord's favor.
| |
| | |
| ==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 Vaiken Spacedock - a derelict station of the old Sith Empire that was crawling with scavengers. Striking quickly, the Dark Jedi under his command captured the vessels of the civilians and enslaved them. By the guidance of the cold-hearted [[Aedile]], [[Kal di Plagia Vorrac]], these were either sold to the [[Saraask'ar]] slavers, or turned into the first true [[Ravagers]] and [[Subjugates]].
| |
| | |
| 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. Upon arrival at [[Antei]], where Reith pledged the fealty of Plagueis to the [[Iron Throne]] and no other, the ship was fully repaired and extensively upgraded. It once again became the flagship of the Ascendant House.
| |
| | |
| The peacekeeping vessel was now an engine of conquest for the adherents of the Final Way.

| | |
| ==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, but its most impressive weapons have to be the four long-range turbolasers; these experimental weapon systems are lethal from far off, and allow the ''Ascendancy'' to perform long-distance ambushes and hit-and-run strikes.

| | The ''Ascendancy'' served as one of the primary naval assets of Plagueis. Its firepower was considerable, but it was also quite versatile; this was bolstered by the added weaponry and equipment. As such, the ship played the role of a nexus when engaged in combat. In addition, the ''Ascendancy'' embarked a small ground force of battle droids. The droids were 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'' was tasked with the transport and deployment of the House's assigned ground unit. |

| The firepower of the ''Ascendancy'' 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, using its interdiction capabilities and varied methods of assault to control the flow of combat.

| | |
| While other ships, such as the [[NSD Predominant|''Predominant''']] or the [[ACC Ravager|''Ravager'']] will pursue enemies or raiding targets, the ''Ascendancy'' can be found in the center of a battle; its attacks are all tactical, motivated to manipulate enemy vessels or capture crippled ships.
| |
| | |
| While Plagueians are never truly out of combat, the ship acts as the nexus of the fleet outside of battles as well. Other ships will drift around it while shuttlecraft will ferry Plagueians and slaves as necessary between ships. In this way, it has been jokingly referred to as "the Coruscant of the Ascendant Fleet," a role it fulfills well.
