 Fierfek... they retconned the length of the Executor... now they say it's 19km long...  First DS2 and now the Executor. I'm so annoyed... Seriously, Leland Chee is a toss pot and he seriously has to stop changing stuff like this. It's so stupid and totally throws me off... I'd totally tear him a new one in a head to head SW contest but not if they keep changing numbers that have stood for decades:

"In 2004, the Inside the Worlds of the Star Wars Trilogy reference book changed the Executor's size to 19km long. It was explained by continuity checker Leland Chee to be more consistent with the films. Later books and reference guides mostly followed this number. The Official Databank has given various sizes over the years, starting with "over eight times longer than an ISD", to 12,8km (as a compromise between fan groups) and finally, 19km."

Idiots... I've remember that the Executor is 8km long since 1995... Anyway, I'll check your mock ups later. Gonna get some sleep and grumble at LFL's latest screwing with the SW universe. Fierfeks...

 

As with all EU stuff, it all started with the West End Games Role-playing game. This is where the SSD was deemed to be 8km. (Source: Imperial Source Book: WEG: 1987-88)

WEG Roleplaying was awesome, and the third best selling table top next to D&D and Rifts.... if only the management was better. *sigh*
