Editing Star Destroyer (section)

=== Depiction ===
Within the ''Star Wars'' universe, the term "Super Star Destroyer" is a [[colloquialism]] used to refer to any ship larger than an Imperial Star Destroyer.<ref name=Walker197>Walker (2018), p. 197</ref>  The largest and most powerful of these is the ''Executor'', which first appeared in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' (1980) as the personal [[flagship]] of Darth Vader.<ref name=USWNE330/>  The first in a line of ''Executor''-class Star Dreadnoughts, the ship is over {{convert|19,000|m|abbr=on}} in length, propelled by thirteen colossal engines and a Class 1 [[hyperdrive (Star Wars)|hyperdrive]].  Its armament includes over 5,000 [[turbolaser]]s, [[Ion Cannon (Star Wars)|ion cannons]] and [[Technology in Star Wars#Tractor beams|tractor beam projectors]] and it can carry more than 1,000 vessels.<ref name=Walker197/>  The crew of the ''Executor'' numbers in the hundreds of thousands.<ref name=SWCVNE137/>  Its command tower, rising above the ship's technoscape on a thick stalk, is a standard model found on other Star Destroyers – including a pair of geodesic domes containing communication transceivers, sensors and [[Technology in Star Wars#Force fields|deflector shield]] projectors – and allows for an unobstructed view of the battlefield.<ref name=SWCL171>Lund, et al. (2016), p. 170-171</ref>  At least twelve of these vessels were built by the Empire, including the ''Executor'', ''Annihilator'', ''Ravager'' and ''Arbitrator'', but the exact number is unknown thanks to Imperial propaganda and [[black budget]]s.<ref name=SWCL171/>

From the bridge of the ''Executor'', Darth Vader leads Death Squadron during the [[Battle of Hoth]] and afterwards in pursuit of the ''[[Millennium Falcon]]''.  It later serves as the Imperial command ship during the [[Battle of Endor]].<ref name=USWNE330/>  At Endor, intense bombardment by the Rebel Alliance fleet cause the ship's shields to fail, allowing Rebel starfighters to strafe the command tower.  During this attack an [[A-wing]] piloted by Arvel Crynyd crashes into the command bridge, destroying the main navigation complex and causing the vessel to lose control.<ref name=SWCL171/>  The ''Executor'' is lost when the [[Death Star II|second Death Star]]'s gravity well pulls the ship into its surface, destroying the vessel and damaging the Death Star itself.<ref name=Walker197/>  At [[Jakku]] where the Empire made its [[last stand]], the Super Star Destroyer ''Ravager'' is one of the wrecks which make up the Graveyard of Ships.<ref name=SWCL174/>
