We can take it as canon that the Executor is indeed more awesome than a regular Star Destroyer, but specifics about size are lacking.

The six huge ships are surrounded by a convoy of smaller spacecraft. It just says the following:ĭarth Vader’s Star Destroyer, larger and more awesome than the five Imperial Star Destroyers that surround it, sits in the vastness of space. Does the script say anything on how big the Star Destroyer is supposed to be? Alas, no. So we are forced to turn to text and see what’s been written about the Star Destroyer length. Another Super Star Destroyer design was the far less common Eclipse-class Star Destroyer.Han & Chewie would go on to endlessly debate this view.īut even here there are camera-based unknowns like lens-type and focal length that could affect how big the objects in the image appear. It was that the Executor classification was the most well-known type of Super Star Destroyer. However, the Executor classification's nickname of "Super Star Destroyer" was actually a misnomer, as the Super Star Destroyer title simply refers to any classification of warship with a dagger-shaped hull with a keel length of greater than the 1,600 meters of the Imperial Star Destroyer.

The Executor-class Star Destroyer was named after the Executor, the first of such warships to be constructed in that line of battlecruisers. This massive Star Destroyer, however, was confirmed to have enough batteries to complete a Base Delta Zero in hours on a hostile planet by itself. The Executor classification was rumored to be able to simultaneously engage between six to a dozen Imperial I-class Star Destroyers, although definitive data was unknown. The Executor-class Star Destroyer also had a full corps of stormtroopers, and hosted hundreds of supplemental vehicles and ground dropships. However, it was not only five times the length of an Imperial Star Destroyer, but ten times more massive, with a gigantic bulk that housed a thousand weapons emplacements, two full wings of TIE starfighters, and a crew of over a quarter of a million. Designed by Kuat Drive Yards for the Galactic Empire, this massive warship was 8,000 meters long-eight kilometers in length. The Executor-class Star Destroyer, sometimes known as the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer or simply as the Super Star Destroyer, was the most powerful warship in the galaxy by the time of the Galactic War.
