Sweet Jesus

Can you really like roam around inside it? It'd be cool as hell to have like a player-run city inside a huge freaking star destroyer.

I want to be chief engineer!

I can go "I cannah do it captain! She dunnah have the POWAR!"

Get two, one for business one for fun.

Also, where can I find out about all those other Star Destroyers? I hadn't heard of most of them.

Now, is that a side-view of the familiar "cheese-wedge" star destroyer or something new?

That's something new. I think the "cheese-wedge" star destroyer is the Victory class.

Just ram anyone else out of the way.

The shields on an Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyer weren't even touched when three Star Destroyers slammed into it (at lightspeed, even) to try to stop it. The Imperium has even thicker shields.

The Imperitor Class is the normal Star Destroyer we all know and love. The Victory Class is smaller and specialises in planetary bombardment and blockades, and the first version of it could land on planet surfaces (Episode II).

Yes, refered to simply as a Super Star Destroyer. The first was given to Darth Vader as a present (yes, a present ) from Emperor Palpatine, maybe it was his birthday?

But what about all those others? I know about the Victory, Imperator, Executor, and Ecilpse class Star Destroyers, but never heard of the others.

Very rarely seen, and only in the comic books and other Expanded Universe books. I believe some of them were the customised flagships of Imperial Remenant Warlords after the Empire broke apart.

SWEET BABY JEEBUS!! Its 17km long! In all the Star Wars books I read, they never mention where the empire gets all the materials to build something that massive. It just magically appears over one of the Alliance planets and proceeds to kick the living piss out of said planet.

That thing could probably dwarf the Super Dimensional Fortress Macross, but what about an X-Box?

The only other thing missing is the Death Star.

Yeah, and compare the Executor Class starship (the 17km long one) to the ship in Mort's image, which appears to be about 15 times as long.

I just noticed the length of the Imperium class, 260 freaking kilometres!

I wonder, at what point, did they throw practicality out the window when designing this bad boy

Michael Moore wouldn't have enough strength to destroy that large a ship. BUT... If we put Michael Moore in a mech suit completely built from X-Boxes, we have hope!

World Devastators...there was an unseen World Devastator mothership that made the little buggers (which tried to consume the Mon Calamari homeworld). Plus, assume that for every populated star system there's 10 that are unpopulated. Lots of asteroids, dead planetoids, etc that could be worked over.


What makes me sad is that Unicron isn't on the chart of really big ships.

The World Devastators, by themselves, are 3.2k long, 1.5k high; their transport is about 5 times the size.

And there's a new reality show for FOX. "Life with the Empire" now all they need is destroy a planet and strip it of its resources, and they can have a hit TV series
