The Super Star Destroyer is one of the largest, most powerful Imperial vessels ever created. A smooth hull presents an arrowhead shaped profile when viewed from above. Resting in the center of this hull is an "island" of habitable volume. Weapons emplacements bristle on the layered city-like surface.

What's bigger than a Star Destroyer?
Depiction. Within the Star Wars universe, the term "Super Star Destroyer" is a colloquialism used to refer to any ship larger than an Imperial Star Destroyer. The largest and most powerful of these is the Executor, which first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) as the personal flagship of Darth Vader.
The Executor-class Star Dreadnought, also known as the Super-class Star Destroyer, was the largest model of Star Destroyer ever built by the Galactic Empire. It was usually referred to as a Super Star Destroyer, and consisted of the sub-models Executor I-class and Executor II-class.
Special mention has to go to the ship that Han Solo deemed the fastest in the galaxy. Yes, the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, and despite being a “hunk of junk,” it is reliably able to outrun various enemy forces.
The Executor serves as Darth Vader's flagship during the events of The Empire Strikes Back, leading the Death Squadron against the Rebel Alliance on Hoth and in pursuit of the Millennium Falcon.
Following the Rescue of Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 flew a T-65B X-wing starfighter dubbed Red Five in the Battle of Yavin. R2 was damaged by Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 (but later repaired), but Skywalker used the Force to destroy the Galactic Empire's superweapon, the Death Star.
Vectors, as Jedi starships, were used on missions undertaken by members of the Order. Due to the Order's long association with the Galactic Republic, they were also used on joint operations with Republic personnel.
The Sith Eternal labored for years to create the Final Order of Xyston-class Star Destroyers, which was set to launch as the largest fleet in galactic history. However, the Citizens' Fleet, which saw action at the Battle of Exegol and overcame the Final Order, became the largest fleet ever created in the galaxy.
Although Venators were still active at the time of the Galactic Civil War, they had mostly been replaced by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, a larger warship modeled on its Republic predecessor.
The Venator-class Star Destroyer is the best carrier, the Imperial II is probably the most cost effective front line vessel, and the Executor is the best flagship. The Resurgent is probably the best middle ground between those three, as a jack of all trades, master of none ship.
The slowest craft was the Lucrehulk-class battleship, which could only go 500 kilometres per hour, much slower than a typical commercial aircraft. It's hyperdrive barely edges out the slowest craft on this list in terms of hyperspace. The slowest craft in hyperspace is the GR-75 transport, with a class 4 hyperdrive.
Hyperdrives allow starships to travel faster than the speed of light, crossing space through the alternate dimension of hyperspace. Large objects in normal space cast “mass shadows” in hyperspace, so hyperspace jumps must be precisely calculated to avoid collisions.
It could attain a maximum speed of 1,100 kph and was eleven meters in length. The ship's central rat-tail acted as a power charger collector, and received energy from onboard generators when it was not in use.
Reminiscent in design of the Empire's TIE interceptor and Darth Vader's TIE advanced, Kylo Ren's TIE silencer is an angular fighter equipped with laser cannons and missile launchers.
In addition to its renowned hyperdrive, which supposedly made the Falcon the "fastest ship in the galaxy", the ship was equipped with a backup hyperdrive. It was much slower than the primary engine and often took several weeks or months to reach the nearest star system.
The most obvious choice for the ship's new owner would be Han's first mate, Chewbacca. However, this would not appear to be the case. While Rey, Chewbacca, and Poe Dameron are all seen piloting the Millennium Falcon after Han Solo's death, it would appear that the ship was passed on to Rey for the foreseeable future.
A capital ship built on a nearly unimaginable scale, the Supremacy is a vast flying wing more than 60 kilometers wide. In addition to being a warship with enormous firepower, it serves Supreme Leader Snoke as throne room and the First Order as mobile capital.
Photon torpedoes likely have greater range than a Star Destroyer's turbolasers. That would give the Enterprise an ability to fire on the Devastator while staying out of weapons range, a decided tactical advantage. Another advantage is that a Federation starship can outrun an Imperial Star Destroyer.
Despite possessing powerful weaponry and being on par with the Victory-class, the Venator-class was designed with an additional starfighter carrier role in mind. Its hangars were far larger than those on other Star Destroyers like the Victory-class.
