Battle for the Eclipse The Battle for the " Eclipse " was a three - way battle between the Zann Consortium , the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire over the planet Kuat , a headquarters for many shipbuilding yards . Background . Tyber Zann arrived with a fleet in the Kuat system intent on taking advantage of the chaos following the Battle of Endor and the steady disintegration of the Galactic Empire , by boarding the " Eclipse " - class dreadnought and accessing secret information stored in its vaults . The battle . The Consortium fleet encountered a Rebel fleet wanting to raid the system to destabilize the Empire ' s fleet production . Tyber Zann , when hailed by the Rebel fleet , claimed that they wished to join the alliance due to hearing of their victory at Endor . Han Solo then requested his aid in destroying the " Eclipse " , promising to reward him and his fleet greatly if they succeed . Zann then suggested that they destroy three " Cardan V " - class space stations guarding the " Eclipse " if they are to reach it . Han Solo also warned him that if he even suspects that Zann will double - cross them , he won ' t waste any time taking him out , before wishing him luck . The rebel ' s initial fleet consisted of 4 MC80 " Liberty " type Star Cruisers , 2 Mk . II Assault Frigates , 2 Nebulon - B frigates , 3 DP20 frigate s , 1 CR90 corvette , the " Millennium Falcon " , and a large number of fighters . They brought in more ships as reinforcements were needed . However , this truce was broken when Zann ' s forces double - crossed the rebels and captured the " Eclipse " , as the rebels sought to destroy it . Although they were confronted with both a Rebel fleet and the local Imperial defense fleet , the Consortium pushed onwards , all the while performing an infiltration and takeover of the half - complete " Eclipse " . Utilizing the semi - stable superlaser cannon of the " Eclipse " , Zann ' s forces gained the upper hand . They then focused on destroying the " Millennium Falcon " . The " Millennium Falcon " was severely damaged . After a few shots from the " Eclipse " , the superlaser broke down . This was followed immediately by the arrival of Admiral Gaarn , who commanded the Star Dreadnought " Annihilator " . At this point , it seemed as though the fight would swing in the Empire ' s favor . However , the Consortium brought in more reinforcements , and eventually managed to destroy the " Annihilator " . Shortly afterward , the Consortium team aboard the " Eclipse " managed to repair the superlaser , used it to mop up the rest of the Imperials and Rebels . The Consortium emerged victorious in the end , but at the cost of many lives and ships on all three sides . Aftermath . Having found information about Palpatine ' s vaults in the " Eclipse " ' s databanks , Zann decided to abandon the vessel , as it was too big a target for the Galactic Empire and Rebel Alliance to ignore . Tyber announced his plans to spread his organization galaxy - wide using the credits in the vaults , and decided to let the Rebel Alliance form the New Republic , having always desired to " own a senator . " The Empire reclaimed the " Eclipse " and later completed it . Elsewhere on the Eclipse , Silri utilized the holocron that was stolen from the Imperial Archives and vowed to " teach Zann what true power really is " and accessed a map of the galaxy .
