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 turbo laser batteries, ion cannons, concusion missle tubes and tractor beam emplacements dot the eight kilometer length. These vessels are like a fleet unto themselves. Twelve squadrons of TIE class fighters (two Wings) await within the huge confines of the massive ship. 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 corps 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 vessel available in the Imperial inventory. It is a command ship, a spacegoing headquarters from which to guide planetary invasions, 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.

[The second prototype, the SSD Avenger, constructed secretly by Palpatine's engineers, was brought online shortly before the Battle of Endor to serve the newly commissioned Emperor's Hammer Strike Fleet. The SSD Avenger was christened in honor of her infamous namesake, the ISD Avenger, which served with the late Darth Vader's personal Star Destroyer Squadron.]

[The four known names of line SSDs currently or formerly serving the Imperial Navy, as posted in previously published Star Wars materials, are as follows: SSD Executor, SSD Allegiance, SSD Guardian and SSD Ironfist.]
