    Are you forgetting about The Executor’s main super laser? Sheeve had that thing run the entire length of the ship, it’s not a planet killer, but it can do the same thing the DS1 did in Rogue One and wipe out a city, or a capital ship, in one shot.

    Same on my preferences, it’s just that Admiral Thrown designed some ridiculously overpowered weapons. Like The Sun Crusher

      I’m going to assume you meant Grand Admiral Thrawn, but he had nothing to do with the Sun Crusher or the Maw installation it was built at. That was Admiral Daala, and the Maw installation was built by Grand Moff Tarkin.

      Thrawn, meanwhile, was not a fan of super weapons. He didn’t need them. In practice, they’re impractical outside of generating fear, but they can’t be everywhere.

      Thrawn could probably defeat a Borg cube with a standard Imperial Star Destroyer, though. Although… the Borg lack anything you could consider “art”, but they’re not particularly creative in their tactics, relying more on their superior technology and adaptability to overcome adversaries, so i don’t think he’d find them overly challenging from that perspective

        You’re correct, I confused The Executor with The Eclipse.

        The Executor Vs a cube would be a relatively fair match, but if Lord Vader isn’t present, I suspect the Borg cube would just barely win while taking extreme damage.

        If Lord Vader is present, He wins, not the Super Star Battleship Destroyer.
