A Day I will Long Remember ... My Baby is Canon again

By Imperial Advisor Arem Heshvaun, in Star Wars: Armada

The Sovereign was a class of warship nearly as long as the Eclipse Class and even wider than the Executor Class . While Dark Horse comics created the ship, and Michael Allen Horne wrote up the ships abilities, I got to name her and her sister ships, the Autarch, the Despot, and the Heresiarch .

As of Darth Vader Comic #13, the name has given to Grand Moff Tarkin’s Flagship.

While the class of warship is not the same as the original 1991 behemoth, I’m still happy as a well fed Hutt! Grand Moff Tarkin is my favorite Star Wars character.

I had always pushed for the ISD Tyrant which I had also named (for Topps cards) to be his flagship but that never made it into Canon. That ship is still part of Death Squadron in current Canon.

ISD Sovereign?

I thought Rebels had already confirmed that...

... and then Blown it up over Mustaphar....

i mean, not mentioned in episode, but as part of their info afterwards...

EDIT: It WAS named there!

I mean, kudos on being the guy to name it and all in the first place - I am exceedingly jealous...

... all of my written words for BTech back in the day only got as far as consideration...

The ISD Sovereign was in the old canon if I remember correctly. It was Palpatine's.

Neither warship was the vanguard of our destruction.

Guessing Tarkin didn't like his personal gift from Palpatine, the ISD Executrix.

(See James Luceno's Tarkin, canon)

Good book!

The ISD Executrix was presented to Grand Moff Tarkin when he was still a Moff.

By the time he was made Grand Moff he had Ninety Six Imperial Class Star Destroyers under his direct Command and many hundreds more in Over Sector Outer. He had the pick of the liter.

This current Sovereign seems to have many special units attached to it, perhaps why he chose it as his Flagship for this Campaign.

So....there’s an ISD called the Soverign?

and....

has nothing to do with the Soverign-class ‘mini Eclipse’ ships?

except the name.

ok, um, congrats?

It’s actually pretty rare that NuCanon includes anything from Before the Dark Times, so yeah take it!

The Eclipse is Canon again, currently we are uncertain if it is her own class or a later Executor class of warship.

Getting the name in is twice as important to me because it’s Grand Moff Tarkin’s Flagship, and I love the character valorous Imperial Hero.

I am so ignored ?

Which is the single biggest disappointment to me. Truly.

I'm told by those that have previewed the most recent work: Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles - that it confirms the newcanon Eclipse as an Executor-class.

Cool that you named it! BUt like Dras already said it's been canon for awhile now. I also think it was in one of the books. Maybe Catalyst? Or Tarkin?

You do have a Chimaera right? Remember this?

Many many pardons my dear sir.

I was not aware I could address agust and paramount personages with 20K likes directly.

Tis’ like looking at the Sun.

Did that appear in the Chimaera expansion?! I have it unopened in San Diego and I am based in Manhattan. I will see her in May.

I ship most my gaming stuff to Cali and only get to see them a few times a year. Such is life in the Empire State.

It did! Granted it's not the best title, but could synergise with Tarkin, appropriately.

what about the vengeance class super star destroyer
