Ships, stations, aliens and pretty much every other vessel or creature from well known sci-fi tv-series, film or books.

All compared to scale with little tid bits of information and details.

This is too cool.

EDIT: And yes, AIJ, your precious Halo is in there as well.

That's been knocking around for ages... If you are unfortunate enough to use IE, you can move the models around for direct size comparisons... should you so desire...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

I think it was THIS that was posted a while ago:

Otherwise I must have missed it. Anyway, it's awesome enough to deserve its own thread.

Is it wrong that I feel some measure of pride that the Executor is the biggest motherfucker out there?

That site uses Theforce.net as a reference for Executor's size, and as my profs. have been so fond of reminding us the internet is not a good reference source.
So here I present to you all from three different Official source books, not a fan site, the Executor's actual size.

Executor:

Quote

Kuat Drive Yards Super Star Destroyer

[...]the Executor was Darth Vader's command ship...

At 8000 metres long it was the largest traditional starship constructed by the Imperial Navy...

-SMITH, Bill, Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, Del Rey, New York, 1996 p.54

Quote

Executor was Lord Darth Vader's personal flagship.

It was approximately five times larger than the Imperial-class Star Destroyer, measuring 8000 metres from bow to stern.

-SLAVICSEK, Bill, A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Del Rey, New York, 1994, p. 158

Quote

Executor: The personal flagship of Darth Vader, it was the first Super Star Destroyer. The Executor was 8000 metres long, or about five times the size of an Imperial-Class Star Destroyer.

that would be the whole picture...

That's not a moon!

I always thought the executor class was called a super star destroyer or something...

This thread has rekindles the beaten down geek that resided in me...

I always thought that Deep Space nine would be bigger

Not that I really care or anything...

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.
