[edit] Characteristics

Significant aspects of the ship included five primary thrusters and four sensor globes (as opposed to three primary thrusters and two globes on Imperial-class Star Destroyers) and extensive armor plating compared to smaller vessels. The main reactor was small enough relative to the rest of the ship, to not protrude from the ventral hull.

[edit] History

Some time after Yavin, the Sith Lord Darth Vader used a battlecruiser as his flagship while the Star Dreadnought Executor was being constructed in the Fondor system. The vessel participated in the blockade of the Yavin system and would also ferry Vader to numerous galactic locations.

Captain Wermis served as commanding officer under Vader and was in charge when the Dark Lord was not on-board. He managed to capture the Millennium Falcon during a mission to Monastery, but subsequently lost it due to his incompetence.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Certain aspects of early Executor production art would be used to render this ship, as well as Admiral Mils Giel's flagship.

[edit] Appearances

Early Executor production art. Note the terrace structure, similar to the one on Wermis's battlecruiser.
