''[[http://thewikia.deviantart.com/art/Rise-of-the-Red-Eclipse-Ch-1-275012737 Rise of the Red Eclipse]]'' is a ''Franchise/StarWars'' fanfic InNameOnly, as it takes place outside of the Star Wars galaxy with the main protagonists having left the constant wars of that galaxy behind. Written in an attempt to create science fiction in a science fantasy universe that actually adhered somewhat to the laws of physics and didn't fall into the [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale pitfalls of scifi writing]]. Mainly a [[WarFic War Fic]] with drama and humor dashed in to help break up the monotony and help things not get so serious that they're cheesy, this literary work is meant mostly to show epic fights from one-on-one duels to planetary scale ground and orbital engagements.

!!Provides Examples Of:
* AnyoneCanDie: The author kills off a few [[CharacterDevelopment well-developed]] characters that have been around from the start, usually to prove how bad a situation the Republic is in first with Abyss' first appearance, and again with the Coalition showing up.
%%* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Field Marshall Nelson lost her arms, but her face was left in one piece.
%%* BigDamnHeroes:
%%** Most notably when the Rescue Fleet arrives to save the Eclipse Republic's home planet in Chapter 41.
%%** The entire segment showing the relief force arriving at New Fentok in Chapter 26.
* CombatPragmatist: The series makes full use of all three dimensions in combat as well as the fact that ships don't have to be on the same "level" to fire at each other. More often than not, the main character does his best to get his ship underneath enemy fleets to fire from below with devastating effects.
%%* CoolStarship: The RAS Kindred Spirit, and later on, the RSSD Republic.
* OneManArmy: Grand Admiral Nelson pulls this on a few occasions, most notably when his wife was mortally wounded and he [[UnstoppableRage didn't take it too well]]. The path he carved through an enemy army while in a [[TheBerserker Force Rage]] was so powerful that the two main antagonists felt it from across the galaxy.
* SpaceIsAnOcean: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that every orbital engagement uses ''Literature/EndersGame''-esque thought processes in fighting in zero gravity.
* SuperSoldier:
** Centurion Chris-Z9571 is a walking tank with the agility of a Republic Knight and enough toys hidden away in his armor to make [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] jealous.
** In a smaller sense, EPAS (Eclipse Powered Armor Soldier) Troopers are like mini-Centurions with onboard shields, enhanced strength and reflexes, and a much more optimized HUD than their regular infantry counterparts.
