Taken from Sovereign Eclipse: Muunilist

After a week of engine trials, the sublight matrix was humming quite nicely.

"Shield matrix initialization complete, Captain."

"Weapons matrix initialization completed, Captain."

"Structure?" Captain Quinn, asked quietly. "Those initial runs were pretty rough."

"Engineering has locked down the problem sir. The supports have been reinforced."

Quinn nodded absently his eyes scanning the reports from the Shroud escorts. The correlation between the ESD's external sensors and the readings from the Shrouds matched, which pleased the acting Captain.

Quinn's executive officer entered the bridge holding a circular object. When Quinn turned to the commander, the man handed the Captain the object.

"Compliments of the Bastion Salvage Fields."

"From the first?"

"From Hyfe's own conference room."

The object was a symbol that would be given to the Regent when the ESD finally made it's official voyage to Imperial Center.

The handing of the torch from the wreckage of the first ESD, floating among the "fields" of dead ships at the Bastion Salvage yard was apt.

"Prepare for main hyperdrive runs.." he called out to the crew and they excitedly moved to action. "Running on the lowside of hyperspeeds was beginning to get to me.." he commented to his Commander.



It was all coming along nicely. The Super Star Destroyer had evaded the Rebel Trap easily - Grand Marshall Kaine and Regent Hyfe would never have allowed the mamoth warship to be destroyed so easily as that.

The Republic's attack on Muunilist, against the Eclipse, had taught them the value of defence.

Captain Esian stepped up the bridge of the ship, looking out across the massive deck of the mighy ship. Stretching for nearly sixteen kilometres ahead of him, only a few patches of metal looking out of place as the Ebony Vigilance took her final repairs and completion.

She was almost ready to tour the stars, a true sign of the Empire's righteous majesty as Lord of the Galaxy.

"Testing systems now, Captain." One of the officers reported easily. "We're showing in the green."

The Super Star Destroyer was ready.

With luck, her enemies would not be ready for her coming.
