  Super Star Destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Super Star Destroyer, often abbreviated S.S.D., is used to refer to any ship in the Star Wars fictional universe used by the Galactic Empire's Starfleet with a wedge-shaped design larger than the 1,600 m long Imperial-class Star Destroyer.
The ship was destroyed by the Rebel Alliance during the Battle of Endor, colliding with the second Death Star after its bridge was destroyed by Arvel Crynyd's crashing A-wing fighter, along with many of the Imperial Navy's finest officers.
She was finally destroyed around 25 years after the Battle of Endor, when it was sent on a suicide mission to ram a Yuuzhan Vong Worldship.
