#executor class

Executor-class Star Dreadnought/ Super Star destroyer Built by Kuat Drive Yards, these 19 kilometer long behemoths were one of the galactic empires most imposing and lethal ships. They were crewed by over 280000 stormtroopers, fighter pilots, officers engineers and other personell. On top of that, they boasted and impressive array of over 5000 turbolasers and ion cannons. For comparison, the empires standard star destroyer, the Imperial II-class was armed with 120 turbolasers and ion cannons. The Executor-class also carried a complement of at least 144 TIE-Fighters, as well as dropships and AT-AT walkers.

Due to their overwhealming firepower and impressive shielding, the Executor-class SSDs were often considered as the strongest ship the empire had to its disposal.
