Created prior to round 9, Eclipse was formed by two seperate groups both intending to create new alliances. Following the disbandment of Xanadu, Legion and Fury there was a large pool of talented and ambitious players looking for a new banner to fight under.

The initial planned HC lineup was as follows

However, Agamemnon and Meth both left before the start of the round, leaving Rob to take over the Military role.

Eclipse's membership was largely comprised from ex-Fury members, though there was a notable group of ex-Xanadu players, including a handful of LDK members.

For round 9, Eclipse had originally planned to ally with Olympians with the possibility of Vision as a third "triad" member. Olympians decided against this and instead formed a block with ViruS and MadCows. This led Eclipse to ally with ToT, Elysium and Wolfpack to form the "WEET" block.

When R9 started, WEET entered into cooperation with the NAHR (NoS, Auld, hirr, RaH) block, against the now-expanded VVOMM block (which had added Vision and Ministry to its ranks).

Following the war between these blocks, relations between WEET and NAHR were dissolved. A WEET vs. NAHR war followed, won decisively by WEET.

The final political permutation was the dissolution of WEET itself, splitting into two relatively even sides: Eclipse/ToT on one side, Elysium/Wolfpack on the other. Eclipse/ToT emerged victorious and went on to be the dominant alliances in the final rankings.

Eclipse played in a more laidback style in round 9.5. As Planetarion moved into the PAX era Eclipse, as part of the EET block defeated Dragons and FAnG, finishing behind Elysium. After this joint victory in round 10 Eclipse disbanded.
