SUPER STAR DESTROYER

From the Imperial Sourcebook (page 62) for the Star Wars role-playing game.



Except for the Death Star battle station, the Super-class Star Destroyer

is the largest warship ever constructed. Five times the length of an Imperial

Star Destroyer, each carries more than a quarter million troops and crew.

Over 1000 turbolaser batteries, ion cannons and tractor beam emplacements dot

the eight kilometer long ship. These vessels are like a fleet unto themselves.

Twelve squadrons of TIE fighters await within the huge confines of the massive

ship, including two squadrons made up of the new TIE Interceptor model. Other

carried vessels bring the total aboard the Super Star Destroyer to over 200

ships.

 Even more weapons of destruction are within the Super Star Destroyer, 

including a full corp of stormtroopers, and other soldiers, 25 AT-AT walkers,

50 AT-STs, and various other ground assault vehicles. In addition, the ship

carries three pre-fabricated garrison bases for immediate deployment.

 The Super-class Star Destroyer is the dream of the Emperor and the epitome

of his new navy. It represents the best and newest vessels available in the

Imperial inventory. It is a command ship, a spacegoing headquarters from

which to guide planetary invations, space battles, and the like.

 Four of these massive vessels are now in service. The first, Executor, was

presented to Lord Darth Vader by the Emperor to serve as his personal flagship

from which to lead the fleet charged with the eradication of the Rebel 

Alliance.
