The miniature Executor used in filming was 283 cmcm redirects here, alternate uses: cm (disambiguation A centimetre (symbol cm American spelling: centimeter is an SI unit of length. One centimetre is: one-hundredth of one metre one-tenth of a decimetre ten millimetres. millimetre << centimetre << decime long.
For some years, official literature placed curiously few weapons on ships of the Executors class: only 250 turbolaser batteries, 250 heavy turbolaser batteries, 250 ion cannonAn ion cannon is a fictional device commonly seen in science-fiction games, shows and stories. Due to its power it is usually classified as a superweapon. In some cases, it is used to disable devices, vehicles, and anything else that has an electrical ors, and 250 concussion missile silos. Some of the later versions also have 40 tractor beam emplacements. 144 starfighterThis article is about the fictional class of vehicle. The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a supersonic jet fighter developed in the early 1950s. See also Robert Calvert. Starfighter" is a science fiction term used to describe relatively small, maneuverables were carried. While her firepower was unmatched until the introduction of Eclipse- and Sovereign-class Star Dreadnoughts, volumetric and surface-area considerations imply a much greater number of weapons, perhaps by an order of magnitudeAn order of magnitude is the class of bigness, the class of size, the class of magnitude, of any amount, where each separate class contains ten times larger amounts than the one before. It is generally used to make very approximate comparisons. If two num. Similarly, there are very few starfighters despite having an enormous hangar bay. This may be because some literature places it as being 8,000 mFor other uses of "metre" and "meter", see Metre (disambiguation). The metre is the basic unit of length in the International System of Units (SI: Systeme International d'Unites). It is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in absolute vacu long -- the weaponry listed as average for that length if not surface area. Visual evidence from the model and the movies demonstrate that the ship is supposed to be 17,600m long.
There is some speculation that there is an 8,000m Super-class Star Cruiser similar in appearance to the 17,600m Executor-class Star Dreadnought, with three thruster banks instead of Executors five.
Newer source material indicates that the Executor carries over 5000 turbolasers, ion cannons, and wingFor some other uses of the word "wing" please see Wing (disambiguation Wing is a term used by different airforces for a unit of command. The size of this unit varies considerably between services. In the Canadian Forces Air Command, each wing (base) contas of starfighters (how many wings is not indicated, but it would be 144 starfighters at minimum, or two wings). The number of lesser weaponry such as point-defense laser cannon and missile weaponry have not been published. Two prefabricated garrison bases are also stored onboard for rapid deployment. Her shields are said to be able to dissipate power output equal to a medium-sized star. Despite its immense firepower, the ship was designed first and foremost as a mobile command and control center. Some sources have suggested that she may be a battlecruiserBattlecruiser s were large naval gunships of the early 20th Century, which evolved from armored cruisers, as new technology made it possible to build bigger ships. The main difference was their uniform main armament, compared to armored cruisers which had.
