: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? --Robert Merkel

Of course, this is all incredibly anal. The real point of the SSD in the movies was to make the already really big and evil-looking ISD's look puny and meek by comparison. Exact measurements are kinda irrelevant. --Robert Merkel

I know, but that doesn't make a very satisfying "in-story" explanation. Any diverse fictional setting is bound to have contradictions, but fans like their story universe to be internally consistent. The resolution is to have rules to keep straight on what is and isn't certain. Star Wars, Star Trek, even The Lord of the Rings has lists of which sources are and are not canon. There are further rules as well, such as the one that newer canon material overrides older, to improve the consistency even more. -- Xaonon
