Executor-Class Star Dreadnought (First Order)
Ship Class: Star Dreadnought
Ship Role: Command Ship/Carrier/Battleship (Dreadnought)
Ship Length: 19,000 meters
Agility (A): 1
Defensive (D): 4
Offensive (O): 5
Speed (S): 1
Special Gear: 2 (Hangar Space, Troop Capacity)
The Executor-class Star Dreadnought, colloquially known as the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, Executor-class Star Destroyer or simply Super Star Destroyer, was a heavy warship class in the Star Dreadnought league, often used as command ships and flagships in the Imperial Navy. At their prime, they were among the largest vessels in the galaxy, and were almost invincible in combat, although they were costly to operate.
With the return of the Empire, whose strong and thriving foundations, both economically and militarily, have made it a nation to be reckoned with, the Emperor, alongside Imperial High Command, sought the recreation of powerful star dreadnoughts that would become the singular flagship of the renewed Imperial Navy. The recovered Sovereign-class Star Dreadnought from Kuat, Sol Invictus, was eventually labeled as MIA, while, in truth, it was destroyed after a dangerous infection was unleashed upon the vessel. The second of these flagships, an Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, codenamed Ad Gloriam, while potent in firepower, still did not live up to the expectations of Imperial High Command. However, with the retrieval of the Knight Hammer schematics from the Maw Installation, a new project was planned and approved.

The Executor-class Star Dreadnought, colloquially known as the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer, Executor-class Star Destroyer or simply Super Star Destroyer, was a heavy warship class in the Star Dreadnought league, often used as command ships and flagships in the Imperial Navy. At their prime, they were among the largest vessels in the galaxy, and were almost invincible in combat, although they were costly to operate.
With the return of the Empire, whose strong and thriving foundations, both economically and militarily, have made it a nation to be reckoned with, the Emperor, alongside Imperial High Command, sought the recreation of powerful star dreadnoughts that would become the singular flagship of the renewed Imperial Navy. The recovered Sovereign-class Star Dreadnought from Kuat, Sol Invictus, was eventually labeled as MIA, while, in truth, it was destroyed after a dangerous infection was unleashed upon the vessel. The second of these flagships, an Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, codenamed Ad Gloriam, while potent in firepower, still did not live up to the expectations of Imperial High Command. However, with the retrieval of the Knight Hammer schematics from the Maw Installation, a new project was planned and approved.
Unlike previous designs, this star dreadnought takes in features from notable predecessors and combines them into one ship. From the Knight Hammer, this dreadnought gains the highly redudant automated systems that allowed it to run with a fraction of the standard crew size. This addition makes the necessary crew limit be a third of total for any other Executor-class. From the schematics of Lusankya, another of these predecessors, the warship gained a more properly designed point defense array against starfighters and bombers, at the expense of turbolasers. Adding onto the modifications, from the Super-class Dreadnought, Megador, long-range turbolasers were added for extra bite and range to the Dreadnought. Lastly, learning from the advanced warship, the Resurgent-class Battlecruiser, the original bridge of the Dreadnought would be replaced. No longer having the exposed conning towers of older Imperial Era vessels, bridge height was reduced significantly. This featured a better protected command bridge, that was less of a major target compared to predecessors, along with increased redundancy in command and control systems. In addition, an emergency bridge was located in the ship's midsection, and was not exposed but built into the existing structure of the vessel. This emergency bridge was made to ensure the vessel could still operate in the case of the main bridge being destroyed.
In total, the modifications to this Executor ensured that it still boasted an impressive armament. With the modifications added in, the dreadnought was armed with 5 Long-Range Turbolaser Batteries (situated at the front and midsections of the hull), 1,700 Turbolaser Cannons (Fire-linked in groups of eight), 1,700 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons (Fire-linked in groups of eight), 240 Assault Concussion Missile tubes (30 missiles each), 240 Heavy Ion Cannons, 40 tractor beams and 1,000 point defense laser cannons. A typical dreadnought of this class was crewed by a minimum of 50,000, a fully complemented ship utilized 280,734 members. However, this modified Star Dreadnought could be crewed at a mere one-third of the maximum crew (100,000 in total) due to the automated systems. Carrying a complement of 38,000 troops and 1,000 TIE Series Starfighters, the Executor was also outfitted with 30 AT-ATs, 40 AT-STs and 2 prefabricated garrison bases. Able to carry enough consumables for six years and a cargo capacity of 250,000 metric tons, this modified Executor will certainly become the pride of the Imperial Navy in short time.
