Characteristics[edit]
Dimensions[edit]
The Executor-class measured 19 kilometers in length and was 100 times more massive than the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. 280,734 Imperial Navy officers, gunners and enlisted men were said to have crewed the vessel.
Propulsion Systems[edit]
The Executor-class was built with one main reactor and an unknown number of secondary reactors. Thirteen engines in five thruster banks gave the Executor-class impressive acceleration for its size.
Offensive and Defensive Systems[edit]
Its shields handled much of the power generated—an amount equivalent to the total power of a medium star (3.8 × 1026 W).
The Executor-class had over 5,000 weapons emplacements, including turbolasers, assault concussion missile launchers, and ion cannons. Since warships could direct all power to their energy weapons,the Executor-class had at least 100 times more firepower than the Imperial-class.
Sensor Domes[edit]
The geodesic domes located on and around the Executor's bridge tower (similar to those of Imperial-class Star Destroyers) served dual purposes. Inside the dome were hyperwave transceiver coils for supralight active sensors, while vanes jutting out of the dome served as shield projectors for the surrounding area.
These domes were not vulnerable to external attack as long as the shields remained intact, but concentrated capital ship bombardment—such as that ordered by Admiral Ackbar during the Battle of Endor—could knock out this protective field. The sensors and shield projectors thus became vulnerable to attack, as demonstrated by Rebel starfighter pilots.
There were many such geodesic domes scattered around the ship, probably to ensure that there were no blind spots for her sensors and to provide a good distribution of shield projector coverage. Concentrated fire on a single area would thus not deprive the ship of all her shield-generating ability.
Hangar Complement[edit]
A minimum of 144 starfighters were carried onboard Executor-class vessels; but the massive hangar could hold thousands. In addition to fighters, the Executor-class also carried a large number of landing craft, dropships, ground armor and two prefabricated garrison bases.
Bridge[edit]
The bridge tower was almost a starship in itself and a standard module on many different warship classes built by KDY. It was equipped with heavy shielding to compensate for its highly visible location, and had mess halls, special quarters for officers of high rank, and large escape pods. The admiral aboard the vessel even had his own escape pod, directly above the command bridge and next to admiral's suites. The command tower also had its own power generators, relays, and life-support systems. It was connected to the ship's main reactor by a cluster of power feeds.
The bridge of the Executor had the same basic layout as standard Star Destroyers. The outer-most part featured nine triangular viewports. The center contained two crewpits which housed the control consoles for the ship. Between them was the command walkway. To the right and left sides of the bridge were two alcoves containing the weapons and defense stations. Behind the bridge were the communications stations, a turbolift, and a HoloNet pod for ship-to-ship communications. On the level directly beneath the bridge was the main navigation complex.
