The Executor-class superstar destroyer, or Superstar Destroyer was some of the largest and
most powerful imperial starships ever created. The most notable superstar destroyers were the Executor
flagship of Darth Vader, along with the classes of massive Imperial capital ships, they were also
referred to as superstar destroyers although they were technically classified as Star Dreadnought.
In addition, the star destroyer that the Imperial used don't have any landing gears
the way they transfer the soldiers and equipment down to the planets are by shuttles
frigates, or any other imperial ships designed to transport such cargo.
In this comparison, I'm going to use a small city for this example.
As we pan out you can see the immense size of the superstar destroyer. The smaller ship on
the right-hand corner the Imperial-class star destroys at 1,600 meters or 5,250 feet in length.
The first in line of the executor-class star dreadnought the ship is over 19,000 meters or 62,000
feet in length this version, however; is far more powerful than any other model before it
and its armament dominate any other ships in production along with the reinforced hull
that allows the Executor to take a significant amount of damage without requiring repairs.
The hull unlike that of other Stars Destroyer is relatively smooth
with all the crew area concentrated in one section in the center which is similar to a small city. The
quarter can house the entire crew and many more troops from ground operation with ease
meaning the Executor-class can carry out battle both on ground and on space without
any fleet support. The Executor-class have over 5,000 weapons in placement
including turbo lasers assault concussion, missile launchers, and ion cannons. With the warship able
to direct all power to the energy weapons. The superstar destroyers have at least a hundred
times more firepower than the standard imperial class star destroyers. The geodesic domes located
on and around the Executor bridge tower similar to those of the Imperial Class Star Destroyer,
served dual purposes inside the dome with a hyper wave transceiver coil for super light
active sensors while the dome serves as shield projector for surrounding areas.
Prepared by 13 colossal engines with a class 2 hyperdrive and have the maximum
acceleration at 100 kilometers per hour, it can also travel at 40 mega light per hour.
Near the front bottom of the vessel was the main landing bay.
It can hold 144 TIE series starfighters when fully loaded up to 30 AT-AT, 40 AT-ST
various assault and support craft and a Y-85 titan drop ships.
About 280,000 imperial naval officers, gunners and enlisted men were said to have a crew in each vessel.
The superclass star destroyer through shield terror and intimidation can
conquer the entire star system without the need to unleash its massive firepower.
The manufacture of the star destroyer was the Kuat Drive Yard which developed the majority
of the ship line including the Venator class star destroyer which was about 1155 meters.
or 3789 feet in length, in addition, they were responsible for the development of the imperial class
star destroyer at 1600 meters or 5200 feet and also the Executor-class Star Destroyer
which was about 12 times larger than the Imperial Class Star Destroyer.
The executive class bridge was 285 meters wide and contained shield generator, briefing rooms
and escape pods, however; it was relatively exposed making it vulnerable to enemy attack the Executor
class bridge which contained a large deflection communication sphere is near the back of the ship.
The sphere powers the ship's permittable shielding as well as allow for long-range communication
to and from the ship. In addition to the shield generators several Executors have cloaking
generators of steel armor fitted to the vessel in order to perform a sneak attack on enemy target.
These structures have often been mentioned as the potential weak point
as a concentrated attack of them could cause one or both of them to be destroyed
leaving the bridge completely exposed. This vulnerability
along with the structural design of the bridge could be disastrous for the ship.
The bridge of the Executor has the same basic layout as a standard Star Destroyer the outermost
part featured nine triangular viewports. The center contained two crew pits which housed the control
console for the ship as the crew pit inhibits the flight data officers tracking system specialists
and combat supervisor ability to see the bridge viewport. The crew focused on the consoles without
necessary distractions, the Executor went on to become the most viewed and famous of its class
by virtue of status as Darth Vader commanding ship. After the death of Palpatine and the fragmentation
of the galactic empire the Executor-class Star Dreadnought with the popular acquisition
among warlords hoping to improve their military power and prestige. Some will fall into the hands
of the New Republic where they will fight against the empire, they once served. So what are your thoughts
