| The '''''Predominant''''' is a [[starwars:Nebula-class Star Destroyer|''Nebula''-Class Star Destroyer]] in the [[Ascendant Fleet]] of [[House]] [[Plagueis]]. Originally built as the ''Civility'' at the fleet yards orbiting [[starwars:Kuat|Kuat]] during the [[starwars:Yuuzhan Vong War|Vong War]], it was assigned to protect the [[starwars:Core Worlds|Core Worlds]] and as a result avoided seeing major combat.

| ==Characteristics==
| | Following the Brotherhood's victory on Ziost, the leaders of the Houses and Clans were recalled to Antei by [[Muz Ashen]]. Following that meeting, the ''Predominant'' was patrolling the Khamar Krote Hyperlane awaiting the Dread Lord Montresor's return, under orders to escort him back to the Anchorage. Under the command of [[Seabr'imsto'nedansr]], the ''Predominant'' was ambushed by hostile forces and destroyed almost immediately, unable to even get a shot off at the attackers. By the time the ''Ascendancy'' arrived, the ''Predominant'' had been reduced to debris, with Seabr'imsto'nedansr's escape pod one of the few recovered from the ambush site. |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| Like other members of the New Class program, the ''Nebula''-class was built around a framework similar to other vessels. Standard vessels of this class held forty turbolaser batteries, forty dual turbolaser cannons, twenty ion cannon batteries, and eight tractor beam projectors. This, combined with the ship's already robust design and a hyperdrive that could match its Imperial counterpart, make the ship into a lethal weapon and a formidable factor in any space engagement. Crewed by Subjugates, who have come to forget their old lives and worship their Masters as dark gods, the vessel is now a violent tool for the Ascension of Plagueis.
| |
| | |
| The ship's underside is far different from a typical ''Nebula''-class vessel, bearing the round orbs of four gravity well generators. These are utilized to keep ships at the field of battle, much like an interdictor vessel, and are used to keep raiding targets from reaching hyperspace until they are meant to, or altogether. They are also used to set up ambushes, with cargo ships and trade frigates prematurely pulled from hyperspace and attacked unawares.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| Completed in late [[20 ABY to 29 ABY|27 ABY]], the ''Nebula''-class Star Destroyer ''Civility'' was originally to be assigned to the [[starwars:New Republic|New Republic]] [[starwars:New Republic Fourth Battle Group|Fourth Battle Group]]. Prior to commissioning, the New Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Alliance, and the Fourth Battlegroup became the Galactic Alliace Fourth Fleet. The ''Civility'' would serve throughout the war guarding strategic targets in the Core Worlds as parts of reserve fleets much like her various sister ships. This was mostly due to political pressure, and ultimately the Vong War would end before the ship could see any action.
| |
| | |
| Following the cessation of hostilities, the ''Civility'' was assigned to lead the Fourth Fleet's Task Force Apex. The task force was sent to patrol the systems in the Outer and Mid Rim, reestablishing hyperspace routes that had been lost during the conflict. Task Force Apex rarely saw more than minor confrontations with pirates, brigands, and scavengers during the following five years of service, mostly due to the deterrence of a full task force of twenty ships. However, as tensions rose due to the [[starwars:Dark Nest Crisis|Dark Nest Crisis]] in 35 ABY, Task Force Apex found itself being assigned missions that had a higher threat of combat, and began training for proper confrontations. When open conflict broke out the Task Force was assigned to Ord Padron, ostensibly to guard against any Geonosian force coming to the aid of their fellow insectoid [[starwars:Kilik|Kiliks]]. The true reason for the assignment was that Task Force Apex was being held in reserve along with other Galactic Alliance units to support a possible ground invasion during the [[starwars:Battle of Tenupe|Battle of Tenupe]] in 36 ABY. The battle would end without the need for a Galactic Alliance ground invasion, and so Task Force Apex stood down from alert status. The crew was granted shore leave given they had been held on ready alert for several weeks while the ship underwent repairs and minor refits at the hands of the dock workers.
| |
| | |
| The forces of the recently decimated House Plagueis would then infiltrate the naval base at Ord Padron, acting on information provided by [[Alaris Jinn]]. The forces of the Ascendant House spread through the ships of Task Force Apex like a plague. The ships fell victim to the surprise attack by the Dark Jedi and troops inserted into the base while the ''Ascendancy'' entered the area and attacked. The ''Civility'', unprepared and undermanned when Plagueis struck, was the main target of the Plagueis forces. They struck without any warning, a lone Jedi Knight named Kysar Thenn only sensed their coming seconds before the Dark Siders struck. By then, it was too late, and Thenn could do nothing but try futilely to reach the fleet.
| |
| | |
| Attacking with lethal coordination, the Sith of Plagueis and their Ravagers boarded the ship and slaughtered its unprepared crew while their Subjugates quickly secured the vessel's systems and crew. Other vessels were already falling under the control of the Plagueians while most of the other ships present had been sabotaged in order to keep them out of the fighting. With nothing standing between them but Thenn’s Padawan, a Nautolan by the name of Beelo Grom, the Dark Jedi of the House struck without mercy and took what was now theirs. Within hours of the first shots of the assault, half of Task Force Apex had been commandeered and the rest left stranded.

| | |
| Upon their return to the Plagueis base at the Anchorage, the ''Civility'' was purged of all Galactic Alliance control codes and fully integrated into the Ascendant Fleet as the ''Predominant''. Once crewed, the ''Predominant'' would almost immediately see combat service as part of the [[Dark Crusade]], supporting the invasions of [[Nfolgai]] and [[starwars:Khar Delba|Khar Delba]].

| ==Role== | | ==Role== |
| While the ''Ascendancy'' remains the flagship of Plagueis and the main symbol of Ascendant might, the ''Predominant'' plays the role of an enforcer for the fleet; its heavy armament and efficient design well suited to take on larger ships and installations. Following its capture, gravity well generators were added to the vessel at the shipyards orbiting Antei. This modification allows the ''Predominant'' to serve as the primary interdiction platform for House Plagueis during combined fleet operations. When not engaged in operations with the main body of the Ascendant Fleet, the ''Predominant'' most often serves under the command of the House [[Aedile]], the Dread Lord's Wrath. | | While the ''Ascendancy'' remained the flagship of Plagueis and the main symbol of Ascendant might, the ''Predominant'' played the role of an enforcer for the fleet; its heavy armament and efficient design well suited to take on larger ships and installations.

| In addition, the ''Predominant'' embarks a small ground force. The troops are mostly trained in boarding actions, serving to defend the vessel from any possible incursion. 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.

| ===Attached Craft===
| |
| Currently attached to the ''Predominant'' are 5 squadrons of fighters:
| |
| | |
| *Cutlass Squadron ([[T-65AC4 X-wing - Plagueis|AC4 X-wings]]) - Superiority
| |
| *Sabre Squadron ([[T-65AC4 X-wing - Plagueis|AC4 X-wings]]) - Superiority
| |
| *Dirk Squadron ([[RZ-1 A-wing - Plagueis|A-wings]]) - Recon/Inteception
| |
| *Glaive Squadron ([[B-51 B-wing - Plagueis|B-wing Bombers]]) - Heavy Assault
| |
| *Septum Squadron ([[B-51 B-wing - Plagueis|B-wing Bombers]]) - Heavy Assault
| |
| | |
| The ''Predominant'' also carries a squadron of various transport craft 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]]
| |
| *7 [[Armored Interface Craft-4 - Plagueis|Armored Interface Craft-4 dropships]]
| |
| | |
| ===Ground Forces===
| |
| During normal operations, the only troops carried on board the ''Predominant'' are a unit of battle droids. These droids allow for the ship to carry double the standard complement of troops since they can be stored unlike troops. The battle droids carried by the ''Predominant'' are also linked via a command signal directly into the central computer, giving them highly optimized performance while they are on board.
| |
| | |
| * 10 [[B2 super battle droid - Plagueis|B2 super battle droid]] companies - 1,650 units
| |
| | |
| The following additional troops are assigned to the ''Predominant'' during ground assault operations:
| |
| | |
| * 1 Infantry battalion - 661 men
| |
| * 2 Scout companies - 330 men
| |
| * 2 Heavy infantry companies - 330 men
| |
| * 1 Medic Platoon - 41 men
| |
| * 1 Engineers platoon - 41 men
| |
| * 1 [[SD-10 battle droid - Plagueis|SD-10 battle droid]] platoons - 10 units
| |
| | |
| This gives a total of 1,403 men and 10 SD-10 battle droids in addition to the 1,650 B2 droids carried aboard as standard.
