The Sovereign Class Command Ship is basically a scaled-down version of the larger Eclipse Class ship. It has fewer weapons, a slower hyperdrive, and carries a smaller complement of starfighters. Like the larger Eclipse Class, the Sovereign Class mounts an axial superlaser weapon, which has insufficient power to achieve complete disruption of a terrestrial planet, but it is quite capable of rendering a world uninhabitable. To stop fleeing enemy ships or set up traps for vessels traveling through hyperspace it is equipped with five Gravity Well Projectors. Two full legions of stormtroopers, and 5 full garrison bases stowed on board are used to meet any planetary assault needs.

Four of these ships have been built: the Sovereign, Autarch, Heresiarch, and Despot. However, they have all suffered the same fait, sabotaged and destroyed by Rebel scum within 1 year of service. Many Engineers, technicians and civilians were killed in these terrorist acts. Nevertheless, Naval Command has planed to build new Sovereign Class Star Destroyers, but no public announcement has jet been released.
