Let's all worship the mighty Executor.

No bg, no scene, just the ship itself.

I like it. It's view you don't normally see of this ship. Good job.

Aresius · 06-07-2008, 11:25 AM

Terrifying.

i'd finally like to know how big that ship is. you find quite controversial measures in the internet. some say its length is 8000 meters, some say it is 12800 meters long. other measures you can find are 16500 meters, 17000 meters and 17500 meters. so what is the real size of that ship?

Enterprise-E · 06-07-2008, 11:59 AM

It is 19km. This is the official one.

Unless this "19Km" came directly from ILM/Lucas Films, then one can hardly claim anything to be "official".

There is more literature on the net leaning towards ~17Km vs 19Km.

STAR WARS: Executor-class Star Dreadnoughts ("Super Star Destroyers")
STAR WARS: Warships of the Empire: Visual Identification

Conclusion for absolute size

If the star destroyer length is accepted as 1.6km then the Executor's length is given by the length ratios between the two ships. Observations from scenes in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi where one ship occludes another constrain the length ratio to be within the range of 11.0 to 12.0, corresponding to an absolute range of 17.6km to 19.2km. Measurements based on the collision between Executor and Death Star II are inconclusive, because the curvature of the battle station's horizon cannot be measured with sufficient precision. A chain of geometric reasoning involving two independent Executor broadside views and the size of the sensor globes indicates lower limits of 16.2km and 18.1km. The conventions of the construction of warship models indicate a length of close to 17.2km. Direct measurements of the Executor model using the standard KDY command tower as a yardstick indicate a length of 17.6±0.2km, which is consistent with the photogrammetric methods and other approaches. I conclude that Executor-class command ships are somewhere between 17.4km and 17.9km long; and certainly much more than the mere 8km claimed by some Roleplaying Game sources.

Jeff's page indicates it is 19KM :

Who knows. It's just really big!

This discussion goes on for decades right now... take the length you more like

For me it s 19km either

Enterprise-E · 06-07-2008, 09:49 PM

19km is the value on starwars.com which counts as official.

Cselenka · 06-09-2008, 05:00 PM

It's 19 km on Wookiepedia, too.

Nayslayer · 06-09-2008, 05:35 PM

Nice render.

and that ship is just crazy huge!
