Does Star Wars have some of the largest spaceships in sci-fi?

No, those droid ships from the Unknown Regions. Those are supposed to be one of the two sentient droid species that the Vong pushed out of their galaxy.

Oh yeah, I get what you're saying. I hadn't realized they were from the Vong Galaxy.

Zenosaga also had the Arc of Abel. It was the size of a solar system, so hundreds of millions of miles.

i bet Rakata ships were really large.

Uhm, there are I think at least a few other sci-fic universes which have ships capable of destroying entire stars, compare that with the sun crusher.

For example, Halo Wars' "Halo Array" is capable of destroying all sentinent life in the galaxy when activated - and yet it's not even included in that chart. There are craptons of powerful ships aside from SW and ST.

Another example is the Sathanas juggernaut from FreeSpace II. One of these is capable of destroying a planet, and a fleet of 80 can annihilate a sun in a couple of minutes by tearing apart a subspace field (according to wikipedia).

So my conclusion is, Star Wars has pretty much of the biggest ships in the entire history of Science Fiction (DS II), but not necessarilly the most powerful. The Sathanas is just 6 kilometers and yet it could probably destroy a planet.

Just to contrast: The Sathana's 6 kilometer planet killer is a poor comparison against the 50 foot star system destroyer.

...but a fleet of those could still destroy an entire star system TOO 😂

Halo Array anyone?

Those aren't ships.

That's the point. This whole discussion turns to talking about space stations. Why? Because space stations are the biggest man-made wonders of the science fiction world that we compare.

However are they, invincible?!

Not really, but probably it would require the Executor's full firepower sometime to diminish each.

So, by that time, the suncrusher would have already blown up the star system?

But if you gave the Halo Array some more time, it would've blown up all sentinent life in the universe.

"If" it requires more time to win, then it loses.

First it doesn't 'blow anything up' it just turns it to ash. Any sentient life with a certain Carbon index. Also, Lucien has a point.

so silicon based life forms are immune? What about those from other dimensions? 'Wars has both i think,,,

Hyperspace can only go along specified routes, or you have to constantly decelerate and change your course. In addition, with subspace you can pick the point you want to travel to and almost immediately arrive there, which is a tactical boon in a combat engagement. I'd say that over long distances, the two universes' ship speeds balance out.

Oh, and the Shivans would rip the Empire+Rebelllion+Republic+Ewoks a new one. Hell, the GTVA could do it. Their shields aren't as resilient as ours, and we have plasma turrets, repeating lasers, and beam weaponry. However, it seems that all other universes can engage from longer range.

I could've said this myself, but I don't own this... 😕
This is how FreeSpace, a humble, little old game can give a good kick to Star Wars, most probably the largest, wealthiest science fiction series that exists.

didnt it take the sun crusher like an hour to destroy the solar system?

Yup.
