With regards to length, games use something on the order of 6 kilometres. Where is the 17 km figure coming from?
- On starwars.com, the height (not the length) is quoted as 12.8 kilometres. 17 kilometres sounds like a reasonable guess
for its length. However, the games may use a significantly different figure. Could somebody please boot up X-Wing Alliance
to check what figures it uses? --

[Here]. This guy analyzes it in more detail than I could ever stomach. Also note that only the movies are canon: if any information in them conflicts with anything else, even "official" sources like the games, the movies always take precedence. -- Xaonon
