Corellian-engineered Star Destroyer

Imperial Corellian ship "I can outrun Imperial starships. Not the local bulk cruisers, mind you, I'm talking about the big, Corellian ships."

- Han Solo

Although most famous for their civilian market vessels, Corellian Engineering Corporation also produced some warships for the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War.

History
Han Solo would boast about outrunning these vessels, which were evidently larger and quicker than the bulk cruisers that were part of local Imperial sector forces.

Behind the scenes

 * Although they are among the first capital ships ever mentioned in Star Wars, the "big, Corellian ships" have so far gone undescribed in the Expanded Universe.


 * One possible candidate is the flagship used by Admiral Mils Giel in two issues of the old Marvel Star Wars comic books. It had a docking module that followed the Corellian standard, but was otherwise not described in any way.


 * Another possibility may be the Corellian battleships referred to in the Return of the Jedi novelization.


 * Their size exceeded that of Imperial bulk cruisers, which were known to be about 600 meters long.
