Pinnacle (Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnought)

The Pinnacle-of-the-Void is the personal flagship of the Emperor of the Imperial Merculan Empire. She is the first of the ten Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnoughts to be constructed and completed and is the namesake of the class.
Pinnacle began construction in 2024 at the Mercular Shipyards and was moved to the Imperion Shipyards in 2025, being completed in 2026. She and her 9 sisters were completed in complete secrecy. Pinnacle first saw action at the Second Battle for Orion Prime in defense of the Merculan capital, and then took part in many of Mercular's campaigns on Earth and against Hyberia.
== Construction ==
=== 2024-2026 ===
Pinnacle-of-the-Void was the first Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnought to begin construction. Mercular had been drawing up designs for a large superheavy capital ship for several years, with the growing fleets of Auroria Prime and other empires. Pinnacle began construction at the Mercular Shipyards, with sections built in separate facilities to conceal the size of the vessel. In 2025, the sections of the Pinnacle were transported to the Imperion Shipyards and assembled, completing the ship in 2026.

=== Attacks on the Merculan Capitals (2026-2027) ===
After being completed in 2026, the existence of the Pinnacle-class Star Dreadnoughts was still unknown to even the Merculan public. Being completed too late to take part in the First Battle for Orion Prime, she remained top secret, becoming the flagship of the newly formed Task Force 53 and the Emperor's personal flagship.
