The Empire's first Super - class Star Destroyer. It is over eight times the size of an Imperial - class Star Destroyer.
It symbolizes the Emporor's umlimited power. The Executor was presented to Lord Vader not long after the Battle of Yavin. It carries over one thousand weapons, two full wings of one hundred forty four Tie Fighters and two hundred other combat and support ships; 38,000 ground stormtroopers. |
This spacecraft was designed by Admiral Ackbar. It played a big role in the Rebel Alliance fleet at the Battle of Endor. It was one of the Alliance's most heavily - armed starfighters. It is one long, flat wing with a rotating cockpit at one end, and one of the ship's three ion cannons at the other. In the middle of the wing are two airfoils that extend out during combat which gives it the appearance of a cross. Because of the gyro - stabilization system, the cockpit remains steady while the rest of the ship rotates around it, giving the pilot a stable field of fire. In addition to the ion cannons, there is a lazer cannon mounted below the cockpit, two proton torpedo launchers and two small blaster cannons. |
This is a very heavily armored craft.
It stands over twelve feet tall and it
is definetly enough to discourage
uninvited visitors.

The A - Wing is a light weight, small, wedge shaped craft. It was introduced at the Battle of Endor and quickly became a major element of the Alliance combat fleet. It was designed by General Jan Dodonna to outrun any ship in the Imperial Navy. It includes very powerful avionics, and a power - jamming system that lets pilots blind enemy targets before attack. But it's speed agility is its relatively high vulnerability in dogfights. The position of the cockpit and its lack of shielding leaves pilots exposed to enemy fire. |
