Today, the space ship building facilities in Lapse finished their first ship. the Eclipse class super star destroyed was finished after decades of production.
"Every day it seemed like we found a new set back" claimed master technician, Paol. "One day we ran out of materials, the next some lawyers were being dickheads and held up construction and the next day it seemed that we lost materials due to an attack on the installation by pirates before our current space fleet managed to ward them off."
Site manager, Greg Jones said that "some days it seemed that we went back 5 steps and went foward 3, whilst other days it was the other way around. Production only really sped up 7 years ago when the government executed all lawyers for crimes against humanity"

The new ship will be expected to be used in service soon after its crew is adapted.

The eclipse class super star destroyed has being given the name: The Flume and is expected to take the front line of Lapses defense forces. Another of the ships is set too be ready in another 2 years now that the expirience of the workers is better.

Funny thing, if this ship has the same capabilities as the Eclipse class Star Destroyer in the Star Wars series then all I can do is laugh. Well, not laugh, just kinda snicker. I've spent hours doing comparison's of strength, defenses, speeds, etc. (God, I have no life) and have determinded that the Colossus would win in a fight. (Okay, now that I have set myself up as being a horses ass, let people start to proclaim it)
