For those of you with accounts on Wookieepedia like myself, you no doubt know about the issues over the classification of the Executor, Darth Vader's flagship.

But for those of you who don't, I'll explain.

The Executor is the most well-known of the Super Star Destroyers. Its destruction in Episode VI is memorable: A lone A-wing rams the warship's bridge and sends it crashing into the second Death Star during the Battle of Endor. But over the years, there have been a few issues regarding the Executor.

First off, there was the issue of the length. At different times, the Executor and ships of its class were measured at 8km, 12.8km, and 19km. While the Databank has the official length at 19km, many still disregard this. However, there are two separate Super Star Destroyer classes measuring at 8km and 12.8km, respectively.

Issue number two is this: What's the class name? The answer is "Executor-class," but numerous sources have used the name "Super-class." Now the Databank calls the "Super-class" name an unofficial label, but there's more than that. In-universe, the Super-class was made up for budget reasons to hide its nature from the Imperial Senate. While this could easily explain most of the times "Super-class" is used, sadly, it doesn't. In the recent novel Invincible (no spoilers, in case you're wondering), the SSD Megador makes an appearance, and it's described as a Super-class vessel (pg. 212). The Megador, however, has three additional ion engines than the Executor-class (Dark Nest III: The Swarm War, page 341). Has the Super-class become its own class, or is the Megador a modified Executor-class vessel? More importantly, how long is it?

On to issue number three, which appears childish in my eyes. Reading over comments on Wookieepedia talk pages, I see many people disregard the term "Star Dreadnaught" (or "Star Dreadnought") in favor of "Super Star Destroyer" or just "Star Destroyer." I mean, come on. No matter which is used, it's still a Star Destroyer.

Just thought I'd bring these issues to everyone's attention.
