Super Star Destroyer (pre-Yavin)
This one's pretty straightforward. This article is based on the assumption that the referenced "Super-class Star Destroyer" in the novel Death Star is somehow a different ship class than the actual Super-class Star Destroyer. Simply put, the novel is making a reference to what has since become known as the Executor-class Star Dreadnought using one of the most well-established terms in continuity. A reference to a "Super-class Star Destroyer" is a reference to a Super-class Star Destroyer. Nothing more. This isn't a new ship class.

In case we need further evidence of this well-established terminology proving that this is not another ship class, the Death Star excerpt from which this article is derived (Note that the novel takes place roughly 1-2 BBY): "Tenn hoped to be transferred, one day, to one of the four new Super-class Star Destroyers that were currently being built." The same paragraph goes on to refer to these four ships by the universal "SSD" abbreviation.

This reference to the four SSDs under construction is in fact drawing upon information originally created by West End Games, which is presented in a number of sources:
 * From Galaxy Guide 3: "The Executor is the first of four Super-class Star Destroyers."
 * From The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels: "While only four Super Star Destroyers were in service by the Battle of Hoth..."
 * From the "NewsNets" feature in Adventure Journal 12, concerning the Executor ' s public unveiling ceremony: "Three additional Super-class Star Destroyers are in their final phases of construction..."

There are other similar mentions in other sources, but I think that the point is made. This is a reference to the Executor-class, not a new class. Delete the article and merge any relevant information to the Executor- and Super-class articles. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
