According to Admiral Conan Antonio Motti in the Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide, the superlaser's intended use was to penetrate planetary shields as well as vaporize cities with a single blast. The massive superlaser was more widely used to destroy enemy capital ships and space stations during combat.
The axial superlasers were capable of slashing through any planetary shield to crack open a planet's crust and sear entire continental landmasses. This superlaser was the pinnacle of Imperial destruction in their fleets.Īn Eclipse 's superlaser easily had the power to destroy other Super Star Destroyers, as the Annihilator found out when Tyber Zann seized the Eclipse 's incredible power above Kuat. The most deadly weapon carried by Eclipse-class ships was an axial superlaser, similar to but significantly less powerful than one of the component beams used in the Death Star's superlaser.
Its size was large enough for it to be classified as a space station. Although technically dwarfed in length by both the Executor-class Star Dreadnought and the Vengeance-class dreadnought by 1.5 kilometers, the Eclipse-class nonetheless exceeded even the Executor-class in terms of overall mass and volume.
The Eclipse-class vessels were among the largest dreadnought-scale ships/Super Star Destroyers ever to be fielded within Galactic history.
