Question

What is your favorite Super Star Destroyer story or ship in Star Wars?

Short answer

Eclipse is an early choice, with its unusual weapons, Palpatine connection, and the remembered destruction of the second ship.

Notes

Eclipse is an early choice in the discussion of favourite Super Star Destroyers. Its axial superlaser, interdiction equipment, and association with Palpatine are the features recalled. Two ships are distinguished in the recollection, with R2-D2 redirecting the second into the Galaxy Gun. This is a remembered fictional ship story; the participants return to other favourites later.
