In April 2014, most of the licensed Star Wars novels, games, and comics produced since 1976 (and prior to 2014), were rebranded by Lucasfilm as Star Wars Legends; and therefore declared non-canon to the franchise. [48] [49]In Return of the Jedi: Beware the Power of the Dark Side!, Tom Angleberger's retelling of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, the Super Star Destroyer present at the battle of Endor was mistakenly referred to as "the Eclipse, the Emperor's own Super Star Destroyer." [49] In Angleberger's manuscript, that mistake had been caught and fixed by Pablo Hidalgo of the Lucasfilm Story Group, [50] who even specifically added that "There's only one Super Star Destroyer [at Endor], and it's the Executor." [51] Despite Hidalgo's correction, the mistake still appeared in the released version of the story. [49] Continuity [ ] Star Wars: On the Front Lines and Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition state that the Executor was the first of its class; [34] however, this is contradicted by other sources, [21] and this article assumes On the Front Lines and Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition are in error.

Typically, the Executor will appear after a wait of about 45 seconds. If this doesn't happen, you may need to win some of the local Space Battles, which are the large red regions. To win a Space Battle, you'll need to destroy all the Empire's fighters before they can destroy all the Rebel Alliance fighters (represented by the meter at the top of the screen).

One of the largest and most powerful Imperial vessels ever created, the Executor was 19,000 meters long, [5] eclipsing its escorting Imperial-class Star Destroyers, [17] and boasted more than 5,000 turbolasers and ion cannons. The center of the arrowhead-shaped hull, constructed of an alusteel alloy of reinforced titanium, was covered by a city-like superstructure, while the underside hosted most of the engineering systems. The aft end of the Executor was marked by a trapezoidal command tower crowned by two geodesic communication and deflection domes. The thirteen thrusters at the bottom end of the hull were responsible for moving the vessel. [5] It was considered the most important ship in the Imperial Navy, and could have feasibly destroyed entire fleets unaided. [9] Crew [ ] In 3 ABY, [10] an Imperial probe droid located the Rebel hideout, Echo Base, on the frozen planet of Hoth [17] while the Executor and its fellow ships were in the Juris sector. [45] Although Ozzel disagreed with Vader, Vader sensed they found the Rebels and commanded him to move the armada to the Hoth system. However, the Admiral brought their fleet out of hyperspace too close to the system, which allowed the Rebels to raise their defensive base shields, forcing the Empire to initiate a ground assault. Ozzel was subsequently killed by Vader for his failure, and Captain Firmus Piett to serve as his successor. [17]Luceno, James; Reynolds, David West; Windham, Ryder; Fry, Jason; Hidalgo, Pablo (2018).

When you do board the Executor, the captain, General Rothlan, will hide at the bottom of the lift and behind a barrier. Your task will be to defeat 4 waves of enemies, the last of which will be a battle against TT-2005. In 4 ABY, [10] the Executor, still commanded by Piett, served as the flagship for an Imperial fleet of Star Destroyers that assembled at the remote forest moon of Endor, where the Empire's new superweapon, the second Death Star was under construction. [11] The Executor stood guard over Endor, taking clearance requests from any starship that entered the system. [46] When the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle Tydirium arrived in the system, the Executor reached out for its code clearance, to which it recieved an older but still valid code. Just as Piett was going to allow the shuttle a chance to pass, Vader asked for more information on its destination after sensing there was more to the ship; the shuttle had actually been stolen by the Rebel Alliance and was transporting a strike team, among its members Skywalker, to the surface. While Piett was willing to hold the Tydirium, Vader led the ship pass to deal with the matter personally. [11] a b c d Gorden, Greg (1993). Star Wars Imperial Sourcebook (2nded.). West End Games.

Described in A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (1984) as being 8 kilometers (5.0mi) long, Executor-class Super Star Destroyers were later described as being 19 kilometers (12mi) long. [53] In addition to Vader's command ship Executor, Star Wars novels introduce the prison ship Lusankya and stealth-armored Knight Hammer as other in the class. [54] [55] Kevin J. Anderson's novel Darksaber describes a Super Star Destroyer as being "worth twenty Imperial Star Destroyers". [55] In draft scripts for the film that would become Star Wars, the term "Stardestroyer" refers to two-man fighters flown by what would become the Galactic Empire. [1] The film's second draft features four Star Destroyers chasing a single Rebel ship, [7] but the tremendous costs incurred by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) when production began helped lead Lucas to use a single "terrifyingly large" Star Destroyer instead of four. [8] ILM built a 91-centimeter (36in) shooting model that was about half the size of the model for the Tantive IV the Star Destroyer was chasing. [1] Lucas asked ILM to build a larger Star Destroyer model to match the Tantive IV's scale, but ILM convinced him that the Dykstraflex camera invented for the film made this unnecessary. [9] Nevertheless, they added additional hull details to the Star Destroyer model. [9] The 13-second opening shot was the first special effects piece ILM completed, [9] and its success was an essential test for the Dykstraflex. [9] Horne, Michael Allen (1993).

In contrast to the UCS, we have the Master Builder Series (MBS), a line that — although its complexity is nearly equivalent to the UCS — is made for the purpose of being played with. Sets in this group, first introduced in 2018, are distinguishable by their inclusion of varied play functions and interior details, which allow them to easily fall into the category of toys. Two notable examples of products in the MBS are those depicting the betrayal at Cloud City and the Mos Eisley Cantina. With these products, fans can re-enact the exploits of their favourite Jedi, droids, bounty hunters, and Sith Lords (including Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, R2-D2, Darth Maul, General Grievous, and Boba Fett).

Rhett Allain, an associate professor of physics at Southeastern Louisiana University, examined the death of the Executor in a Star Wars Day-themed article for Wired. According to him, the Executor impacted the second Death Star traveling at 3.5km/s (7,800mph), which - assuming the collision was strictly a result of gravitational interaction between the two objects - would require a super-dense Death Star to achieve such an impact velocity. Additionally, the Executor had a near constant angular velocity of 0.159 radians/second during the scene where it rotates to face the Death Star. For the crew at the front of the ship, this would result in a centripetal acceleration of 39 G. [23]

Star Destroyers feature in numerous Legends publications, with a considerable amount of additional notable information. According to West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game sourcebooks and other texts, Imperial-class Star Destroyers are constructed by Kuat Drive Yards and hold a distinguished place in the Imperial Navy, symbolizing the Empire's military might with a peak number of more than 25,000 vessels. [50] Like the Venator and Victory-class ships that precede it, the Imperial-class is a multi-role capital ship combining the roles of a battleship, starfighter carrier, and troopship. Notable for its massive size and overwhelming firepower compared to its fore-bearers; a single Imperial-class ship is capable of singlehandedly taking on a fleet of enemy vessels or "reducing the surface of a planet to a slag" (known as "Base Delta Zero"), and its mere presence is often enough to deter rebellion. [50] At 1,600 meters (5,200ft) long, Imperial-class Star Destroyers are crewed by 9,235 Officers, 27,850 enlisted personnel, and 275 Gunners. The Imperial I is armed with 60 turbolasers, 60 ion cannons, and 10 tractor beam projectors for space combat. [50] The standard complement is 72 TIE fighters (including 12 TIE Bombers and 12-24 TIE Interceptors), and a variety of support craft including shuttles and transports. Unlike other comparable capital ships like the Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruiser of the Rebel Alliance (later New Republic), an Imperial-class Star Destroyer carries a full array of ground forces (including 9700 stormtroopers, 20 AT-ATs and 30 AT-STs) with dropships for rapid deployment to planetary surfaces, plus a prefabricated base if a permanent planetary garrison is required.
