15 Biggest Star Wars Ships | Explained

hey guys so today we will be doing something a little bit different since the new Star Wars movie will be out in cinemas real soon we are going to showcase to you the 15 largest spaceships from the Star Wars universe these spaceships are among the largest in fiction and out sized many of their competing franchise ships such as those of Star Trek with the common imperial star destroyer dwarfing the enterprise by a mile or so so in this list we are going to focus on many of the capsules ships seen in Star Wars not just movies by the animated flicks and even graphic novels and comics so in essence anything cannon in Star Wars we are also going to include the death stars on the list since they are ships or to be more exact weaponized stations and others which are comparable and even bigger than them but apologies beforehand since we won't be including the star killer base as it is not a ship or a station but a modified icy planet that was made into a super weapon we won't be including the husk station as well as it was built around a moon and is simply a planetary mega structure and not a mobile ship so now that we have that off the table let us start by putting something common in front for reference an imperial star destroyer which is by far the most common and most recognizable ship in this universe this ship is one mile in length or 1.6 kilometers in comparison the Rebel Alliance Mon Calamari Cruiser is a bit smaller at 1.2 kilometers so let's get into the list at number 15 comes the manager for Class C CH dreadnought with a total length of a bit more than 7.6 kilometers or 4.75 miles also known as a manager for class warship and the first-order dreadnought it was a model of siege dreadnought used by the first order during their conflict with the resistance it had a crew of 53,000 officers a hundred and forty thousand enlisted personnel and 22,000 stormtroopers the manager for class was armed with two orbital autocannons that could fire a salvo of two rounds each in quick session before recharge was needed the starships dorsal surface featured 26-point defense laser cannons for protection against our fighters and six tractor beam projectors were located on a ship's bow next at number 14 we have the praetor mark 2 battle cruiser which has a length of 8 kilometers as the highest estimate also known as the praetor to class Star battle cruiser it was a warship class that served the Imperial Navy it was a model in a Star Destroyer design family marked by characteristic wedge shape considered the largest battle cruiser design known the predator possessed a dagger shape similar to other prominent warships in Imperial Navy the praetor mark - battle cruiser possessed at least 90 weapon systems including various spherical turrets on the dorsal ventral and trench areas of the ship in addition it also possessed hull armor and deflector shields now at number thirteen comes the monitor do class warship which was a powerful vessel while star destroyers like the venator class could stand up to a handful of separatist resistant glass light destroyers a star dreadnought like the matter tattoo could withstand an assault of up to a thousand of these warships as such the vessel carried reactor equipment large enough to force the length of its hull up to its length of eight kilometers so having cut its ties with the techno Union prior to the Clone Wars the kuat drive yas began building starships for the republic years only among its new designs were the magnitude 2 class an upgrade of the pre-war manner to class dreadnought we should form the part of the kuat sectors defenses in peacetime these heavy vessels form a part of the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine snoo centralized Republic Navy during the Clone Wars so coming in at number 12 is the monitor 3 class dreadnought which is another manager but a class 3 another class 2 and class 4 which is previously mentioned it was a very large dreadnought scale warship in the Imperial Navy as well as the third class of start dreadnought developed under the monitor series alongside the bell attack last dreadnought which was smaller than the tree manager class warships the monitor tree was specifically designed to be a hulking weapons platform and was a bit longer and more heavily armed than its predecessors and it's contemporary cousin at 12,000 meters in length or 12 kilometers it was essentially a scaled up version of the monitors several of these participated in the events leading up to the Imperial Civil War number 11 sovereign super stardestroyer this was a super stardestroyer produced by the Galactic Empire at the behest of the Galactic Emperor Palpatine who envisioned a fleet of 15,000 meter long vessels the sovereign class hosted a crew of six hundred and 1670 with 4075 Gunners and required a skeleton crew of at least 86,000 during development it was estimated to require crew of 600,000 a sovereign class super stardestroyer carried five years worth of consumables and could carry a hundred and thirty thousand troops like the larger Eclipse class super stardestroyer the sovereign class featured an axial super laser on par with a Death Star the axial super laser was also the reason why the ship's helm was designed to be 15 kilometers load for the minimum space required to house these generators at number 10 the Asura class star dreadnought this was also a 15 kilometers long ship and had a hull shape similar to the executor class star dreadnought being primarily shaped like an arrowhead it was considered the second largest of the standard starred retinal line with only the executor class being larger as well as the largest in the Imperial Navy in a family that included the monitor class ships the class was equipped with a large amount of gun batteries martyred along the ridge of the ship as well as the flat dorsal and ventral surfaces many of the batteries were positioned in patterned clusters its armaments of turbolasers while weak in comparison to the executor class star dreadnaughts was nonetheless powerful enough to nearly vaporize a planet number 9 the Eclipse class dreadnought also known as the Eclipse class Super Star Destroyer it was a class of Imperial super star destroyers factored by the kuat drive yachts and mainly used around six years after the Battle of Endor like the sovereign class they were regarded as a new generation of superstar destroyers although technically dwarfed in length by both the executor class star dreadnought and a vengeance class trainer by 1.5 kilometers the Eclipse class at 17.5 kilometers long or 11 miles nonetheless exceeded even they executed class in terms of overall mass and volume its size was large enough for it to be classified as a Space Station coming in at number 8 is the executor class star dreadnoughts also known as the super class Star Destroyers they were some of the largest and most powerful Imperial starships ever created along with other classes of massive Imperials capital ships they were also referred to as super star destroyers although they were technically classified as star dreadnoughts the most distinguished super star destroyer was the executor the flagship of the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader it measured at 19 kilometers in length and utilizes 13 engine thrusters and were outfitted with a class 1 hyperdrive a titanium reinforced hull over 5000 turbo lasers and ion cannon batteries and concussion missile tubes number 7 the Vengeance class dreadnought this was based on the standard Super Star Destroyer design the executors class as such the ship class was approximately 19 kilometres long in addition because of its dimensions the ship class sometimes possessed the standard classification of of space station in contrast with the executor class the Vengeance class frame was supplied with a slender built more narrower nana star star destroyers almost like a sword in comparison to the usual daggers shape the Vengeance class height contrasted its length which was a little more than 150 meters and with downward sloping armor dominating most of the dorsal frame the next and number six is the eye of Palpatine and this was a colossal asteroid shaped Super's dreadnought constructed at the behest of Emperor Palpatine during the second year of the galactic empire it was destroyed 12 years Battle of Yavin and more than 90 kilometers long this deadly warship was the Emperor's first super weapon it was referred to as both a dreadnought and a battle moon as part of a secretive origin the vessel was made to look similar to an asteroid the reason for this was officially stated as the means of protection from detection by enemy vessels and world's number 5 the mega class star dreadnought also known as the mega class Star Destroyer this was a class of star dreadknot utilized by the first order during their conflict with the resistance with a length of 13.2 kilometers but a width of more than 60 kilometers it was large enough to drop eight resurgent class Star Destroyers six externally and two internally it crewed over two million - and 25,000 personnel the only operating ship of its class was the supremacy disparagingly nicknamed snoke's Bora self as a flagship the supreme leader snoke and the mobile headquarters of the first order it was split into two by the resistent flagship raiders while attempting to destroy the remnants of the resistance fleet near the planet Cray number four the Yuuzhan Vong chorus drona also known as world ships in the galactic basic standard they were immensely large organically created vessels that house entire communities of the Yuuzhan Vong providing them with food and shelter they also serve a staging ground for long battles similar in function to the reborn Emperor Palpatine eclipsed class destroyers a world ship was a transport a battleship and a psychological weapon in all in one it is unknown if these figures were systemic for all worships but the Banu wrasse one of the largest world ships was a hundred and twenty kilometers across almost the size of the first Death Star at number three it's none other than the original Death Star also officially named as the ds1 orbital battle station or the ultimate weapon in early development stages and later referred to as Death Star one it was a moon sized deep-space mobile battle station constructed by the Galactic Empire the station was ferrite and made 160 kilometers or 100 miles in diameter with 357 internal levels a large concave dish in a northern hemisphere made up the super laser emitter the station's command rate she was located in the northern hemisphere above the dish of the station super laser you know it's big when it has hemispheres instead of parts so for the number two spot is yet another dead star also known as dead star mark 2 or ds2 or simply the second Death Star it was a partially completed moon sized battle station constructed by the Galactic Empire asked the successor to the first one it was larger and more powerful than the first one like the first Death Star that start to long terms purpose was to terrorize planets and star systems in league with the Rebel Alliance through the use of its planet destroying superlaser upon completion the Death Star 2 would have an immense battle station size of 200 kilometers in diameter that featured 560 internal levels which could house 2.4 million passengers and crew and at the number one spot comes to Centerpoint station known to the killings as the cholera law or the world polar it was an ancient Space Station that was capable of moving entire planets with as tractor beams it was created by the third hive a hundred thousand years before the Battle of Yavin with a width of a hundred kilometers and a length of 350 kilometers it was larger than both the two dead stars from a distance it appeared as a huge partially translucent sphere with two small cylindrical poles Centerpoint station contained within its colossal bulk an extremely large intricate collection of ultra high-energy systems a true relic of a bygone age and with this we come to the end of the video so do like share and subscribe for more videos do click on
