Well, that's nice for the Executor, but very few of the other ships are described as being of "Executor-class"; rather, they're "Super Star Destroyers". It's been established that there exists a distinct class from the Executor known as the Super- (unofficial slang) or Superior-class (surmised official name, in matching the -or suffix rule of many of the Empire's destroyers), which is nearly indistinguishable from the Executor except that it maintains the original length of 8000 meters. For comparison, I've converted the stats for this class even though it's not in the mod:Q: In Starships of the Galaxy, the Executor (Vader's Super Star Destroyer) is listed with a length of 8,000 meters, but in the text it's described as being eight times the length of an Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which would be 12,800 meters. Which is correct?
A: Actually, they're both wrong because the official size of Super Star Destroyers has been revised. Thus, here's some official errata: The Executor is 19,000 meters long, as are all Super Star Destroyers of the same class.
Superior-class
8000 m
40 MGLT
4 MGLT/s
2 DPF
2.0x
40000 SBD
19040 RU
250 heavy turbolaser cannons
250 turbolaser cannons
250 turboion cannons
250 (30) heavy concussion missile launchers
40 tractor beam projectors
Executor-class
19000 m
32 MGLT
4 MGLT/s
1 DPF
2.0x
96000 SBD
45712 RU
2000 heavy turbolaser cannons
2000 turbolaser cannons
250 heavy turboion cannons
500 point-defense laser cannons
250 (30) heavy concussion missile launchers
40 tractor beam projectors
There are no official sources that explicitly state the classes of the remaining SSDs, so the issue is effectively undecided. Given the circumstances of their deployment and destruction, which of the SSDs do you think properly belong to the Executor-class? Ships you do not check should, by default, belong to the weaker Superior-class (exceptions include Enforcer, Whelm, and perhaps Aggressor). I've given the Lusankya a pass because she is the sister ship of the Executor and must therefore be of 19 kilometer length, but the remaining ships are up for grabs. Which should be some of the most fearsome in the galaxy and which should be "mere" star battleships?
