I know it is sci-fi and all but how would you even go about building one of the Destroyers of that size? This does not mean I don't want one.

I always thought they resembled the German Bismarck. The Bismarck's domed gun directors look like the Star Destroyer's bridge mounted shield generators.

The great thing about star destroyers is that they are the do it all workhorses of the Empire. They can act as battleships duking it out ship to ship against enemies, deploy ground troops with aerial and orbital support, blockade planets and systems, and deploy fighters.
They are probably the most versatile ships in the science fiction universe. |

All the Star wars ships are iconic... the x-wing is my favorite. The Star Destroyers are up there. The Millennium Falcon ranks higher, imho, but the SDs are great because they're so brutally efficient. Angles, no curves. Look like a dinosaur or shark tooth. The designers did amazing work evoking not just cool shapes and designs, but also ideas that tap into your consciousness and grab you. You don't have to know the Empire is a threat to know that the gray, desolate wedge menacingly hovering in space is bad news. Nah. The A-Wing is my favorite. |

The reason why Star Destroyers in their various configurations embody FIREPOWER is because they are a composite Naval Battleship in Space with an ages old weapon design that has been with us for a long time.
They will penetrate your star system and give you a good reaming from Palpatine. VSD and SDF-1 are my personal favorites. |
