[edit] Behind the scenes

While the book Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader does not explicitly state the class of the Executrix, leading some to believe that it was Victory-class Star Destroyer, it is both identified as an "older sibling" to the Exactor, the second ship of the Imperator-class (Dark Lord, p. 235), and when the two ships rendezvous alongside each other, bow-to-stern in space, they are described as forming "a parallelogram of armor and armament," an expression only possible if the two triangular ships are the same size.

The ambiguity was definitively settled by 2008's The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.

The word "executrix" itself is the feminine form of "executor".
