Trade Federation Landing Ship
The following is a list of starships, cruisers, battleships, and other spacecraft in the ''Star Wars'' films, books, and video games. Spacecraft appearing in the original trilogy Death Star The Death Star is the Empire's battle station which has ability to use a kyber-crystal powered laser to destroy entire planets. It appears throughout the ''Star Wars'' franchise, particularly the original trilogy. ''Executor'' (Super Star Destroyer) The ''Executor'' serves as Darth Vader's flagship during the events of ''The Empire Strikes Back'', leading the Death Squadron against the Rebel Alliance on Hoth and in pursuit of the ''Millennium Falcon''.

Starship
A starship, starcraft, or interstellar spacecraft is a theoretical spacecraft designed for interstellar travel, traveling between planetary systems. The term is mostly found in science fiction. Reference to a "star-ship" appears as early as 1882 in ''Oahspe: A New Bible''. While NASA's Voyager program, ''Voyager'' and Pioneer program, ''Pioneer'' probes have traveled into local interstellar space, the purpose of these uncrewed craft was specifically interplanetary, and they are not predicted to reach another star system (although ''Voyager 1'' will travel to within 1.7 light years of Gliese 445 in approximately 40,000 years). Several preliminary designs for starships have been undertaken through exploratory engineering, using feasibility study, feasibility studies with modern technology or technology thought likely to be available in the near future. In April 2016, scientists announced Breakthrough Starshot, a Breakthrough Initiatives program, to develop a proof-of-concept flee ...
