Eclipse-Class Cruiser
The Eclipse-Class Cruiser is the Sunset Defense Fleet's multi-role support cruiser. It functions as a combat support
cruiser, a carrier defense cruiser, a diplomatic cruiser, and nearly any other ship needed. In order to fulfill this
multitude of roles the Eclipse-Class has many of the features of other more specialized classes.
Like the new Singularity-Class the Eclipse-Class is equipped with the new Cyclone torpedo system, though this is only a
partial implementation of the system. Only the fore and aft tubes can take advantage of the increased ammunition
capacity and firing rate. The Eclipse-Class is also equipped with the Athena sensor and communications system for fleet
communications and sensor sharing, as well as a single enhanced sensor array identical to those found on the Venture C-Class.
Add conference rooms, a full medical suite, and an extended shuttle bay and the Eclipse can definately perform any role
assigned to it.
Outwardly the Eclipse Class shares many of the design components of the Singularity-Class and in turn heavily influences the
Corona-Class. A lower profile than the Shiva, a more rounded saucer section, and integrated main drives give the ship a low
profile in case of battle - still important considering the distances involved in stellar warfare.
Each Eclipse-Class will cost 421 billion di-coins including their support craft. They will be produced exclusively in the
Ares system at shipyards around Ares and Shiva. A total (without replacements due to accidents or combat) of 120 Eclipse-Class
starships will be built, completely replacing the Shiva-Class by AFY2550.
