This served to mislead rebel intelligence to think there was only one ship out there, and that the claims by both yards to having constructed the Executor were merely the result of pride. History: Originally two of these were manufactured, one by Kuat Drive Yards, one by Seinar Fleet Systems, both under the name ' Executor'. (2) However, these figures are from calculations based on the original 8km Super Star Destroyer figures, so that if the 17km size is accepted, then the actual figures are likely much larger.įighter Complement: The standard complement was only 144 TIE Fighters (two wings), plus many other specialised craft, but this leaves substantial spare room to permit additional ships if needed. (1)Īrmament: Again, the exact quantities are unknown, but at a minimum, an Executor Class is accepted to have 250 heavy turbolasers, 250 turbolasers, 250 ion cannons, and 250 concussion missile launchers. While some written references suggest it may be as small as 8km on length, others refer to it being closer to 17km, and this is backed up by analysis of the canon movies suggesting that the correct length is in the vicinity of 17km, or approximately eleven times that of a ordinary Imperial Star Destroyer. Size: The exact size of an Executor-Claass super star destroyer is subject to a large number of conflicting authorities. Regardless of the technicalities, whenever the term 'Super Star Destroyer' is used without qualification, it almost invariably refers to the Executor Class. There is also some dispute over the exact name of the ship class, regarding if it is actually 'Executor-Class' or merely a 'Super Star Destroyer'. Of these three classes, only one is actually seen in the Star Wars movies, being the Executor class vessel, named Executor (as the first of its type), which served as the flagship of the imperial fleet at the Battle of Hoth. These are the Executor-Class Super Star Destroyer (AKA Super-class), the Sovereign-Class Super Star Destroyer, and the Eclipse-Class Super Star Destroyer. The Super Star Destroyer classes are the bigger brothers of the standard Star Destroyer classes ( Imperial, Victory, etc.) In fact, there are not one, but three classes of Super Star Destroyer.
