Hidden Reporters Update: The Roving Reporter is correct...there is an expansion pack coming....and he did see a SSD Eclipse.
Straight from the Lucasarts Memo-banks.
"Following the success of Star Wars: Empire at War, the best-selling PC game of Q1 2006, Lucasarts announced an expansion pack titled Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. A widely appealing strategy gaem, Empire at War let gamers play the Light Side or the Dark Side in an epic Galactic Civil War. Now, for the first time ever, Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption introduces a unique point of view -- the Corrupt Side.
The Rebels have just destroyed the Death Star, and the galaxy is in turmoil. As an aspiring underworld figure named Tyber Zann, spread corruption throughout the galaxy using new strategic gameplay elements to influence other factions, steal their funds, slow their production, spy on them and more, all en route to becoming the most notorious criminal leader since Jabba the Hutt. Exciting new land-tactical options like customizable, upgradeable bases and guerilla warfare allow for innovative battlefield tactics. Take command of and confront new fighting units for all factions (Rebel B-Wings, Imperial TIE Interceptors, Darth Vader's Executor Super Star Destroyer and more), and take down anyone who stands in your way of ruling the underworld, be they new battlefield heroes Luke Skywalker and Yoda or the forces of your most bitter rival -- Jabba. Destroy capital ships with the awesome firepower of the Second Death Star, and satiate Tyber's drive for the deadliest capital ship in the galaxy, a devastatingly powerful Super Star Destroyer known as the Eclipse."

And there you have it. And now...the Hidden Reporter, returns to the darkness...
Curse those stupid batteries from dying in my flashlight...*trips and falls*
