Mile-Long Ship	comment	Your starship is big, very big. Now how do you get this across to people? By stating how big it is in miles or kilometers. It may be a Starship Luxurious or so packed full of people or machinery that the interior resembles that of a submarine. These ships are generally too massive to land, so they're built in space and stay there; in case they do see the interior of a planet's atmosphere, it's usually because something's gone horribly wrong — usually emphasized by the very agitated crew bracing for impact. Often, mile-long starships are considered to be "harder" than small ones, partially because a slower-than-light ship would need to be huge to carry all the fuel and supplies needed for a decades-long voyage. The most realistic designsâ€”the ones that are very clear how lethal most high-powered spaceship engines areâ€”tend to be very long, specifically, in order to maximize distance between the habitat section and the engine. In order to minimize mass (since mass is proportional to volume and one dimension is already determined), long ships will often be very thin. No one knows how big ships will be when/if humankind takes to the stars, but it is worth noting that big spaceships do make sense if you are dealing with Generation Ships — the occupants will want and need space to run around. And because space is so vast it is even called "space," the only limits to single spaceship size would be structural strength and propulsion capacity. Has nothing to do with long-distant fanmade romances. Supertrope to Planet Spaceship. See also The Battlestar, Big Dumb Object, Cool Starship, Generation Ship, and Unnecessarily Large Vessel.

Mile-Long Ship / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Online: The Borg Unimatrix 0047 Command Ships, hexagonal juggernauts roughly 20 kilometers in length. They're so big they don't even maneuver: they just sit there and spam various attacks at you. The Unimatrix ships are based on the similarly large ship at the centre of the V'Ger Cloud, mentioned above, in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in reference to the long-standing speculation of a relationship between it and the Borg. According to an image in one of the devs' Twitter feeds, Voth Citadel-class dreadnoughts measure up at a bit less than nine kilometers long and nearly five kilometers wide, while the Bulwark-class battleship is just short of a kilometer. And then there's the Fortress ship in "The Breach", which is in Planet Spaceship territory, measuring in at 134 kilometers. On a smaller scale, Klingon Vo'Quv-class carriers sit at around a klick in length and can deploy Birds-of-Prey instead of conventional fighters. Federation Odyssey-class cruisers are of a similar scale. Then there's the Romulan Republic's Ha'apax-class warbird and its kin, which are instead a couple kilometers wide.

Mile-Long Ship / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: General ship size ranges are similar to something like later Star Trek, Mass Effect, the lesser factions in Halo, or prequel-era Star Wars. Standard capital ships like battlecruisers and Void Rays are around 600 meters, smaller support craft like Valkyries, Scouts, and Arbiters are under 200 meters, and standard capital ships are 1-1.5 kilometers. Protoss carriers, supercarriers, and the largest terran battlecruisers fall into the latter size range, though standard carriers are vulnerable in spite of their size because they carry no ship-to-ship weapons. Don't expect any of this to be apparent in gameplay, though. StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void: The Spear of Adun, a 74 kilometer long arkship which serves as Artanis' flagship and base of operations during the fight against Amon. The size is a little justified by it being mostly empty space (it would probably be only about 50% that size if you squeezed down all the huge voids in its hull) and it being meant to carry the entire Protoss civilization in case of Homeworld Evacuation. Also, Zerg Leviathans which can reach the size of a small moon - though have no weapons other than smacking things with their tentacles or deploying fighters. They serve the role of massive transports among the zerg, along with the unseen Behemoths, as the zerg otherwise have no real ships (just swarms of Mutalisks and Overlords).

Mile-Long Ship / int_17bfcf60	comment	The Mothership from Homeworld, which the fluff says is somewhere between 7 and 15 kilometers "tall."note Relative to the direction its main engines face, see its entry's page picture for details It has a major case of Units Not to Scale in-game, however, but still measures a good three in-universe kilometers... Or rather "kloms", whose relationship to an Earth kilometer is never mentioned. The Progenitor Mothership, whose remains are discovered in one mission of the second game, is utterly huge. The "Dreadnought" that the Hiigarans recover from the remains was actually once stored in the Progenitor Mothership's cargo bay. Then again, everything the Progenitors did was on a massive scale.

Mile-Long Ship / int_1f30cee7	comment	When Peter boards the alien ship in book #3 of Bruce Coville's My Teacher Is an Alien series, he's told that the name of the ship is "New Jersey". Not because the aliens have any particular fondness for the Garden State, but because the ship is literally the size of New Jersey. Part of the rationale is that the ship is essentially a travelling outpost of the Interplanetary Council, and needs to house species with very different physical needs.

Mile-Long Ship / int_2126592a	comment	In Girls und Panzer, the all highschool carrier ships are pretty much "cities floating on the sea". While the series itself gives a rough image of the Ooarai carrier's size, the third OVA and other supplementary materials go in length about it. Ooarai carrier is a self-sufficient city with population about 30.000 people. The distance between the waterline and its main deck is 400m, and is around 7.5km in length depending on the definition of the main deck, whether it's from the lower deck or just the surface deck. The carrier is so large, there's a phenomenon of urban decay in its bowel. Also, Ooarai is one of the smaller schools; all other schools with the exception of Maginot (which has a submarine as their school ship), are larger than Ooarai. Black Forest Peak is said to have a population of more than 100.000 people.

Mile-Long Ship / int_2250e67e	comment	Star Trek: Enterprise: "Azati Prime" has Captain Archer being taken through time and brought on board the USS Enterprise-J. Due to time constraints with making the episode, the designer of the ship admits that they only had a couple of weeks to flesh out a concept, which is only very briefly shown in a fuzzy holographic computer display in the episode itself. The ship was never shown from the outside in the episode, so supplementary material filled in for that. The Enterprise-J was built as a generational ship, capable of folding space to instantly travel to other galaxies. It is so large that its turbolifts are replaced with site to site transporters, and it features massive parks and even an entire university on board. Its saucer is roughly 26 miles in diameter. "Countdown"'s script describes the Xindi-Aquatic cruiser as five times the size of the NX-01. This puts it in the ballpark of 1,125 meters (official sources put it around 1800 meters).

In season 2 the Outer Planets Alliance commandeered it to knock Protomolecule-infested Eros into the Sun, but missed.

Mile-Long Ship / int_247422c7	comment	Ships in the Honor Harrington series are usually denoted by their tonnage rather than their length, but one book had a diagram that showed their main warships as being 2 kilometers in length for a battleship to 3 km for a Superdreadnought. Then two programmers for the Saganami Island Tactical Simulator couldn't make the models work with the specs they were given. They found at the current scale they were only as dense as cigar smoke. After this revlation, Weber re-scaled them so they top out at just over 1500 m for an SD and 1200 m for a battleship. This is known as the "Great Resizing". It's stated that, over the course of the conflict between Manticore and Haven, both sides have steadily increased the sizes of their ships without reclassifying them (classification here is more based on tactical and strategic role than tonnage): late war Light Attack Craft (similar in role to fighters or gunboats) are nearly as big as prewar destroyers, the better to carry a spinal graser worthy of a battlecruiser. This doesn't really come into play until later, when the Solarian League Navy realizes that Manticoran destroyers should by all rights be classified as cruisers in terms of size, mass, and firepower. Like much of Honor Harrington, this loosely follows real-world evolution of naval architecture: modern US Navy destroyers are as big or bigger than pre-dreadnought battleships, though lighter-weight.

Mile-Long Ship / int_2acb12c5	comment	X: The series doesn't explicitly give lengths for its ships. However, in 2009, a forum member in this thread scaled their in-game models and determined that the largest destroyers average 3 kilometers, with the ATF Valhalla being the outlier at 5. The Valhalla's sheer size makes it wildly impractical to use normally, because its engine nacelles will impact the rim of a jump gate upon exit, causing it to get stuck inside the event horizon. This is fixed by the expansion pack X3: Albion Prelude, but it still has size-related problems with its turret firing arcs. Our page picture is the more manageably sized Teladi Phoenix, which is approximately 4 kilometers long. The games also features some truly enormous space stations, such as the Terran Military Outpost, a station so large that the entirety of Rhode Island could fit within its bulk, or the Torus Aeternal, a station large enough to wrap around the Earth. X: Rebirth: Mile-long ships return in force, where the humble Space Trucker trading ships have been largely replaced by massive freighters that operate independently of the Highway system. The Arawn battleship is large enough to have two hangars — one landing pad on the front for the Albion Skunk, and an internal hangar for URV drones which is large enough to have internal point-defense turrets.

Starting with humble cruisers with sub-1000 crews, players can eventually build multi-kilometer long ships with crew numbering in the tens of thousand as their primary combatants. Planet Space Ship designs - both literal planets with engines and ships the size of planets - are generally reserved for flagships and as a Doomsday Device. The mile-long ships return in Star Ruler 2, albeit generally used as rarer, more powerful flagships supported by hundreds of smaller gunships and Space Fighter-esque escorts, rather than the dozens or hundreds of individual mile long ships of the original game.

Mile-Long Ship / int_59cb7bba	comment	The Battlestar Galactica was over 1.5 km, the Pegasus over 1.7 in the 2003 series. In the 2003 series, the Battlestar Galactica is 4740 feet long, while the Battlestar Pegasus is 5872 feet, making it more than a mile long and the largest battlestar class in the series. Word of God from Glen Larson is that the original Galactica was "a mile long". A collector of the series props and costumes worked out, using screen grabs and the known size of the full-scale Viper mock-ups, that the ship was 6080 feet long, which is one nautical mile (or was before the unit was revised to 1852 m). There's obviously a huge margin of error in this because of the large amount of extrapolation required, and similar calculations using other screenshots have led to smaller figures around 4100 feet (approximately 1250 m), which is very close to the length of the 2003 version as quoted on merchandise. Against that, early pre-production and merchandising for the original series had the Galactica as being 2000 feet long, though this is generally considered to have been superseded by the later, larger figures. Even the scale model used in the Classic series was over 6 feet long! 76 inches, in fact.

Mile-Long Ship / int_5c897f4a	comment	Schlock Mercenary: Let's just go in order of size, shall we? The Sword of Inevitable Justice (which would later be renamed the Post-Dated Check Loan) was almost a kilometer tall, and looked to be about the same in both width and length. This seems to be a typical size for Ob'enn Thunderhead-class ships. Battleplates are, well, giant plate-shaped ships a kilometer thick and maybe eight or so kilometers on a side. Too big to fit through a wormgate, they were originally intended for defensive purposes, until Kevyn's invention of the teraport allowed them to be deployed offensively. Once Petey gets his hands on the core generator, he starts cranking out some truly massive ships. One of his earlier designs is called the "Extortionator" class, just the powerplant of which is nearly as big as an entire battleplate. "Worldship" is the name given to a Dyson Sphere built around a white dwarf star that someone has attached a drive to. (The more literal choice of "starship" had already been taken.) The Pa'anuri deploy an unnamed ship class that's the size of a gas giant. Though, since the Pa'anuri are themselves the size of a gas giant, it's debatable whether they count as ships or as powered armor.

Mile-Long Ship / int_5d354f8	comment	The Red Dwarf is 6 miles long, 4 miles tall, and 3 miles wide, according to the novels. The TV show states "5 miles long" repeatedly, but we might assume this refers to the ship's habitable volume, and the 6 mile figure includes the ram scoop and main engines at the front and back of the ship respectively. It originally had a crew complement of 169. Then in series 3 it was retconned to 1,169. Of course in most series it has an organic crew complement of "two", plus several robots, the ship's computer, and a Virtual Ghost, none of whom use anywhere near all of the ship. So the inconsistencies might be excusable. The first Red Dwarf novel, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, isn't limited by a BBC cast and effects budget and gave the original crew size as 11,169.

Wraith hive ships in Stargate Atlantis were described as roughly thirteen times larger than an SGC Daedalus-class battlecruiser. This gives a ship around 2.9 kilometers long. The super-hive that appears on the series finale is much larger, making it the largest known starship in the setting. Meanwhile, Ancient city-ships such as Atlantis are about 3 kilometers in diameter.

The assorted sequel series introduce the New Macross Class colonisation ships separated into 'Battle' sections that are at least the same approximate size of the original SDF-1, attached to massive 'City' sections which are exactly what the name suggests, massive, space going cities. Zentraedi ships are even bigger, since their crews are 9 meter giants (except when they undergo "micronization" to human-size). A Nupetiet-Vergnitzs flagship, for instance, is about 4 kilometers long, and a Thuverl-Salan cruiser is 2300 meters. Within the setting's background, the original builders classified the design as a small capital ship with the primary purpose of being a mobile Wave-Motion Gun... and not much else. This is why the Zentraedi, who possessed true battle fleets, had larger warships. The New Macross vessels, more or less, demonstrate that humans adapted the class to their original function: though they retain humanity's Transforming Mecha technology.

Why, a Navigator simply folds space right from the cave. Immediately after that, the workers start laying down the framework of the next Heighliner. The contract for building Heighliners keeps switching between Richese and Ix, the only two planets with enough technology and industry to build them.

Mile-Long Ship / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The trope becomes evident as early as the final level of Halo: Combat Evolved when one of the waypoints during your escape from the Pillar of Autumn is over a kilometer away. The Autumn's official length is 1.17 km. It's considered a large capital ship; something like 80-95% of the UNSC's shipsnote The Fall of Reach gives a few figures. In the initial mustering for Reach, there are 100 warships, of which 3 are cruisers, 2 are carriers, and the rest destroyers and frigates. At Sigma Octanus IV, there are 48 ships, of which 1 is a carrier, 2 are cruisers, and 45 are destroyers or frigates. Evolutions also gives us the composition of Battle Group India, the largest fleet the UNSC ever assembled in its history: 212 ships, of which 126 are destroyers, frigates, or corvettes, and an additional 50 are non-combat supply and repair vessels. are the much smaller (though still big) corvette, frigate, and destroyer classes, which are 500 meters on average. The colony ship Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars is 3.5 km long (which is justified as it's actually a civilian ship that's been hastily retrofitted), and the experimental vessel Infinity is 5.7 km long, with the latter capable of carrying an army and ten internally docked frigates, as it was meant to be Plan B if Earth was destroyed (again, justified; it took decades and half of the Navy's entire budget to build this thing). Human ships' main weapons are magnetic accelerator cannons (read: coilguns), so the trope makes sense for similar reasons as in Mass Effect. Covenant capital ships are even bigger; their corvettes and frigates are around a kilometer long with similar tonnage to the UNSC's capital ships, while their actual capital ships are each over a mile long and outmass their UNSC counterparts by an order of magnitude or more. The shining example is CSO-class supercarrier that appeared during the Battle of Reach (Halo: Reach), an utter behemoth at just under 29 kilometers long. Notably, despite being comically huge, one good MAC round from UNSC frigate or destroyer can usually destroy it (as the rounds really are that powerful)...once you get through the shields. Then there's the Forerunner Fortress-class vessels, which are 50 kilometers long. Later, in the Forerunner-Flood war, Fortress-classes reach new height with 100 km long vessels, pushing them into Planet Spaceship territory. There's also the Forerunner Keyship/Dreadnought from the original trilogy, which is "only" 11.41 km long. All the above are topped in Halo 4 by Mantle's Approach, the Didact's personal flagship, which is vertically oriented and is a truly absurd 371.4 km tall, 142.7 km long, and 138.6 kilometers wide. The Visual Guide casually mentions that it isn't even the largest Forerunner ship.

Mile-Long Ship / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Reaper capital ships like Sovereign and Harbinger are around two kilometers long and so massive that their kinetic barriers are severely weakened while they're landed in Earth-like gravity (due to the mass effect field strength needed to reduce their mass to the point where they don't crumple under their own weight). Citadel dreadnoughts vary by race, but average one kilometer. Ditto the much more common and expendable carriers. Ships of that size are justified by the setting's reliance on kinetic weapons: a longer ship means the spinal mass accelerator can be longer, meaning it can fire its slugs with greater energy. The yield of the gun at the scale of warships is implied to scale more or less linearly with length, as the codex directly states "a dreadnought's power lies in the length of its main gun" and the description for the Thanix cannon in 2 reveals that even a frigate canonically has enough power generation to power the main gun of a cruiser a hundred times its volume. For these reasons, massive dreadnoughts are used like self-propelled artillery pieces, remaining at the rear line of a fleet battle and exploiting their greater muzzle velocity to take down targets while smaller, lighter ships either screen their flanks or maneuver in around the enemy's flank. (At least, that was the idea. Nobody apparently told the VFX artists, who in Mass Effect 3 showed Citadel dreadnoughts engaging Reapers well within visual range.) Cruisers, the main combatants, are basically just down-scaled dreadnoughts (500-700 meters instead of a kilometer). Mass Effect: Andromeda has the Remnant ships. A good sample of their scale comes with the one crashed on Elaaden. It's halfway submerged in sand, and it still looms over everything around it. The regular colony ships (Arks) in Andromeda are also pretty big at 1.7 kilometers long and 17 million tons in mass; the Nexus is technically a ship as well, being capable of self-propulsion and FTL travel, even if the characters call it a space station instead. It's 15.47 kilometers long and 5.3 kilometers in diameter, and weighs probably tens of billions of tons. All of this was built with funding from a set of niche corporate donors.

Borg cubes are generally built around 27 cubic km. (That means 3km for all twelve edges) The Borg Tactical Cube shown in one of the final episodes of Star Trek: Voyager is five times larger. Star Trek: Enterprise: "Azati Prime" has Captain Archer being taken through time and brought on board the USS Enterprise-J. Due to time constraints with making the episode, the designer of the ship admits that they only had a couple of weeks to flesh out a concept, which is only very briefly shown in a fuzzy holographic computer display in the episode itself. The ship was never shown from the outside in the episode, so supplementary material filled in for that. The Enterprise-J was built as a generational ship, capable of folding space to instantly travel to other galaxies. It is so large that its turbolifts are replaced with site to site transporters, and it features massive parks and even an entire university on board. Its saucer is roughly 26 miles in diameter. "Countdown"'s script describes the Xindi-Aquatic cruiser as five times the size of the NX-01. This puts it in the ballpark of 1,125 meters (official sources put it around 1800 meters). The Romulan D'deridex class warbird is slightly over a kilometer in length. Most of it is empty space though. Even Starfleet is close to the trope, with the Enterprise-D and -E being close to half a mile in length. The Voth city ship shown in Star Trek: Voyager beamed the entire titular ship into its cargo hold, which has plenty of space for dozens of such ships. It's no wonder some EU material suggests the Voth might make good allies against the Borg.

As it turns out, even the smallest sloops are almost a kilometer long and have crews numbering in thousands. Escort ships, such as destroyers, raiders, corvettes and frigates, usually do not exceed 2 km, and light cruisers are usually between 3 and 4,5 km. Heavy and battle- cruisersnote Miniatures for these types in the Imperial Navy use the same hull are somewhere around 5 km, and grand cruisers are about 7,5 km. There is no canon specs for Battleships, Battlebarges and Mechanicum Arcs, but they must be around 8 kmnote Battleships have one weapon section more than heavy cruisers, and a weapon section is about 1,5 km long. Other races' ships have comparable sizes. One of the Horus Heresy books from Forge World refers to a Mechanicum transport designed to carry Titans; this transport vehicle is a giant slab of metal measuring 2 km long.

Mile-Long Ship / int_8dfbd63d	comment	Primal has a three-episode arc set on board the Colossaeus, a absolutely immense pre-modern naval ship that is apparently home to an entire Ancient Egypt-esque kingdom. The ship's exact size is never stated, but in scale with the characters it seems to be at least a mile long, and probably much more, and even holds a fleet of smaller ships. The second episode shows that it's not the only one on the seas, as it comes under attack by a second, near-identical Colossaeus, this one populated by a kingdom inspired by the Sea Peoples.

It is implied the Foundation has the theoretical knowledge of how to make ships like that, but lacks the resources (Terminus, being a single world lacking in metals, has to build small and efficient, while the Galactic Empire, having at its height the resources of the entire galaxy, can afford to build in massive scale). By the time the Foundation does have such a large domain that it could afford to build ships like it, they've developed miniaturisation and efficiency far enough that there's no point.

Most of the mass and length is taken up by the slower-than-light propulsion systems, but the ship still has room for an 8 mile long cargo hold which carries smaller interstellar ships inside. The novel also briefly shows moon-sized ships, though their mass makes them agonizingly slow, especially for the already slow, non-FTL interstellar travel.

Mile-Long Ship / int_9a0c0ffa	comment	According to the website of the author of The History of the Galaxy series, ships in that 'verse tend to be fairly large, almost absurdly so, especially since the stated crew complement is very small (although that could be justified by mass-produced AI modules that can be used to replace crew). The largest warships of the Standard Sci-Fi Fleet, flag cruisers, are 7 kilometers (almost 4.5 miles) long... with a standard crew of 150. Slightly justified by a fifth of the ship being taken up by its Anti Matter Wave-Motion Gun (it's almost never used and really only serves as a deterrent). The first human extrasolar colony ship, the Alpha, was even larger. However, the Alpha was built before the discovery of Hypersphere and was supposed to have been propelled by three massive fusion engines. A large chunk of the ship was devoted to the engines and their hydrogen fuel. Even then, half the colonists/crew were supposed to be kept in stasis at any given time, with shifts rotating every couple years.

It's so big, there's an entire castle, forest, graveyard, and mansion on top of it, and it's very difficult to see the entirety of it from the ground, to the point the fact it's a ship isn't apparent at first. The Noah is a gargantuan wooden ship located near Fish-Man Island built eight-hundred years ago for an unknown purpose. It's half the size of Fish-Man Island itself and built to be pulled by multiple Sea Kings, since even the entire population of the island pulling on its chains at the same time don't have to strength to budge it even a single millimetre. Vander Decken IV is able to use his Devil Fruit powers to lift the ship in an attempt to perform a Colony Drop on Fish-Man Island with it.

The ship has robot-tended farms and entire forests with game animals that produce food for the crew: protagonist Tanis Richards often snacks on BLT sandwiches with bacon from Intrepids own hogs. And it's not even the biggest in the setting: besides Intrepid's sister I-class ships (built later based on Intrepid to be war-winning motherships), terraformer worldships are significantly larger and used to rearrange planets. The series also features a number of orbital mega-structures with populations in the hundreds of billions: a 1600-kilometer Space Station with a population topping a hundred billion, seen in book four, is merely average by Richards' standards.

If Eggman wants to operate from space, most of the time, he builds a space station instead.

At least until one takes into account that (a) yes, these vessels are basically spherical and correspondingly massive next to more slender designs elsewhere and (b) they're also still entirely capable of extending landing struts and setting down on planetary surfaces. More extreme to outrageous examples exist, but are either singular vessels (such as the fourteen kilometers long BASIS) or sufficiently advanced alien technology like the Cosmocratic "spore ships" that at a diameter of 1,126 km are both very much the size of not-so-small moons and, for all that they're very high-tech and were intended to help spread life and sapience throughout the universe, could well be summed up as "just" glorified freighters.

Mile-Long Ship / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 loves this trope, given its habit of exaggerating almost everything. GW eventually gave the exact measurements of several ship classes in the Rogue Trader books. As it turns out, even the smallest sloops are almost a kilometer long and have crews numbering in thousands. Escort ships, such as destroyers, raiders, corvettes and frigates, usually do not exceed 2 km, and light cruisers are usually between 3 and 4,5 km. Heavy and battle- cruisersnote Miniatures for these types in the Imperial Navy use the same hull are somewhere around 5 km, and grand cruisers are about 7,5 km. There is no canon specs for Battleships, Battlebarges and Mechanicum Arcs, but they must be around 8 kmnote Battleships have one weapon section more than heavy cruisers, and a weapon section is about 1,5 km long. Other races' ships have comparable sizes. One of the Horus Heresy books from Forge World refers to a Mechanicum transport designed to carry Titans; this transport vehicle is a giant slab of metal measuring 2 km long. Less confirmed is information about Gloriana-typenote Each Gloriana was/is a unique vessel, united only with their purpose to serve as their legion's flagship, so they are not really a class (20â€“28 km long), various Xeno ships (i.e. Interex) that were 2-3 times bigger, Eldar Craftworlds (Depending on the Author and on exact craftworld, they might be the size of a planet or "just" 40 km long), the Rock (size of a city and accompanying bedrock), the Phalanx (small moon sized) and World Engine (planet made into spaceship). Bigger than even the Gloriana-class Battleships is the Imperator Somniumnote Imperial Dream, second flagship of the Emperor after the Bucephulus. For some context, the largest Gloriana was the Invincible Reason at 28 km. The Abyss-class battleship, created by the forces of Chaos in preparation for the Horus Heresy was said to dwarf the aforementioned 28km long ships, being mentioned as rivalling the Phalanx in size and firepower. Then there are Space Hulks, which are a random collection of asteroids, comets, planetoids and various spaceships and stations (some of which may count as mile long ships in their own right) which fell into the Warp, ran into each other, and fused together instead of smashing apart because of the strange properties of the Warp. They frequently get used by Orks as spacecraft in their own right. One rumored Ork ship is also a planet, which moves around as needed. It is also a massively overgrown Ork, since the species in theory never stops growing.

Mile-Long Ship / int_de8ae019	comment	Star Carrier by Ian Douglas: The eponymous vessel America is a kilometer long and not very wide, while the railgun cruiser Kinkaid is of similar size or bigger, given the barrel for main weapon is a klick long. There are also several Turusch vessels built from hollowed-out asteroids that are several times larger. H'rulka vessels are an interesting version: they initially look 20 klicks long but are actually several single-crewperson ships docked together that are individually several klicks in length (the creature flying it is a 200-meter colony organism that finds itself cramped by the "small" vessel).

Mile-Long Ship / int_e235270c	comment	In Stellaris, while it is ultimately up to the interpretation of the player, Battleships and especially the gigantic Titan ships are implied to be in the several-kilometer range. Downloadable Content later introduced even bigger ships like Juggernauts, which are one-of-a-kind mobile shipyards packing serious firepower, and the moon-sized Colossus Planet Killer. Both are so enormous that only starbases with a special Colossal Shipyard upgrade can construct them. One loading screen shows a Juggernaut hovering over an alien metropolis, City Destroyer-style, with the ship taking up the entire width of the artwork despite being at least a couple kilometers away from the observer and being viewed at an angle. The Leviathan-class Automated Dreadnought dwarfs any ship a player can build, including the Juggernaut. Weirdly, if you decide to rebuild it after you disabled it, it retains its look but shrinks down to about half its initial size.

Mile-Long Ship / int_e4732abc	comment	Wraith hive ships in Stargate Atlantis were described as roughly thirteen times larger than an SGC Daedalus-class battlecruiser. This gives a ship around 2.9 kilometers long. The super-hive that appears on the series finale is much larger, making it the largest known starship in the setting. Meanwhile, Ancient city-ships such as Atlantis are about 3 kilometers in diameter.

Mile-Long Ship / int_e5e3b16f	comment	Chrysalis (Beaver Fur): A 27-kilometer long rocket full of drone hangars, automatic factories, and nuclear warheads is built by a massive underground supercomputer — uploaded on which is the last human consciousness — to escape Earth and go to war against the aliens who destroyed it. Mount Everest had to be hollowed out to hide the construction of the rocket from any aliens still surveying Earth, and its launch process was violent enough to cause a mass extinction — if there was any life on Earth left to extinguish, that is. Once in space, the vessel terrified aliens, as, even before realizing it had been built by a a vengeful AI, they thought only an impossibly advanced civilization could put such a thing together.

Mile-Long Ship / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends adds enough of these that it seems kilometer-plus is fairly standard for heavy capital ships in the Galaxy Far, Far Away, particularly in the Imperial and post-Imperial eras. These are just some of the biggest examples. "Super star destroyer" is basically a catchall term for ships following the star destroyer design philosophy and larger than about three kilometers. The Empire built many of these, but most were one-offs and only the Executor-class went into (relatively) wide production with around a dozen known. The Eclipse-class star dreadnaught from Dark Empire is 17 kilometers long, outmasses the Executor-class, and mounts a superlaser capable of cracking a planet's crust. This won't destroy the planet, but the seismic effects will depopulate it quite handily. By the New Jedi Order series the New Republic saw the need to have a counter for Super Star Destroyers and the like, and the Mon Calamari supplied the 17 km Viscount-class battleship. For their part the Yuuzhan Vong had their koros-stronha or "worldships", 10 km in diameter and primarily colony ships but quite capable of defending themselves against GFFA capital ships. They also had a couple different types of kor chokknote "grand cruiser" of similar size that served much the same command-and-control/heavy battleship role as super star destroyers.

Mile-Long Ship / int_e694aadb	comment	In Ciaphas Cain: The Emperor's Finest the space hulk Spawn of Damnation is said to be about five kilometers in diameter. As space hulks go that's fairly smallnote in fact it's at least an order of magnitude too small to make sense; the class of ship the heroes arrive in is about that size itself but the text says they're tiny next to it and ships of even bigger classes can be seen poking out of the mess. See the franchise' entry in the tabletop section., but one of Amberley Vail's footnotes comments that it's "quite big enough under the circumstances."

The movie opens with a shot of the ship flying past the camera — and it takes almost two minutes to pass, with the shot functioning as an Overly Long Gag. And it's still not as long as Mel Brooks originally wanted it to be. There's also a number of jokes about how big the ship is, such as:

It's halfway submerged in sand, and it still looms over everything around it. The regular colony ships (Arks) in Andromeda are also pretty big at 1.7 kilometers long and 17 million tons in mass; the Nexus is technically a ship as well, being capable of self-propulsion and FTL travel, even if the characters call it a space station instead. It's 15.47 kilometers long and 5.3 kilometers in diameter, and weighs probably tens of billions of tons. All of this was built with funding from a set of niche corporate donors.

Mile-Long Ship / int_ec9965ca	comment	Some of the starships in Iain M. Banks' The Culture novels are quite large — a GSV (General Systems Vehicle) can be 25 to 200 kilometers long, with millions of passengers and enough on-board manufacturing capacity to match a planet in production. Consider Phlebas shows the megaships of Vavatch, which are massive oceangoing city ships that are at least 4 kilometers long, and are so massive that it takes years for them to accelerate to their max speed. The megaships use enormous cruise ships as tenders. One scene taking place on a GSV contains a throwaway observation by one of the characters of a megaship being neatly tucked away for storage in one of the GSV's smaller storage bays.

The size is a little justified by it being mostly empty space (it would probably be only about 50% that size if you squeezed down all the huge voids in its hull) and it being meant to carry the entire Protoss civilization in case of Homeworld Evacuation. Also, Zerg Leviathans which can reach the size of a small moon - though have no weapons other than smacking things with their tentacles or deploying fighters. They serve the role of massive transports among the zerg, along with the unseen Behemoths, as the zerg otherwise have no real ships (just swarms of Mutalisks and Overlords).

Mile-Long Ship / int_f39c217d	comment	Aldnoah.Zero: The Landing Castles used by Orbital Knights of Mars are some two kilometers in length. Unlike most examples of this trope, they - as the name implies - are designed to land on planets. (That is to say, Earth.) As this "landing" involves simply dropping down from orbit, the impact is powerful enough to generate a practically nuclear-level blast. The Castle itself - presumably protected from the crash by Aldnoah-related technology - then unfolds, allowing the Knights and their forces to begin the invasion in earnest.

Mile-Long Ship / int_f74b5f80	comment	In the Babylon 5 'verse, jump capable ships tend to be massive due both the size and power requirements of jump drives. Some specific examples: The spinoff Crusade had the Excalibur, which was 3000 meters in length, and had an internal rail line (similar to that on the Babylon 5 space station) running along its length for transportation within the ship. Also, the Babylon 4 station, which preceded Babylon 5, had a propulsion system (unlike its successor), so it could serve as a mobile base-ship and carrier that was 6 miles in length (Babylon 5, meanwhile, was 5 miles in length). There were also the Explorer-class vessels. Their task was to travel to unexplored systems, identify those worth permanently occupying, and deploy jumpgates. At 6.1km/4.8 miles long they're about three quarters the length of Babylon 5 itself, making them by far the largest ships operated by EarthForce and significantly larger than any other ship seen in the show not operated by one of the First Ones. They are so large that the pylons of the Babylon 5 jumpgate had to be moved apart to create a jump point large enough for one to pass. We're told that they're incredibly rare, mainly because they're incredibly expensive to build and operate, and those that do exist will spend most of their time out in the furthest reaches of explored space. Even most EarthForce officers will never see one in person. Minbari Sharlin-class war cruisers are about the same size as a star destroyer, though that's in height, not length (they're taller than they are long). The largest ships to date are Vorlon Eclipse-class planet killers. Estimates put them at 26-36 miles in diameter (they're circular). And they're definitely visible from planetary surface as one partially eclipses the sun when it briefly arrives over Centauri Prime. Pretty much every major EarthForce warship measures around a kilometer, with the Omega-class destroyer breaking the mile barrier at 1700m, it's successor, the Warlock-class making over 2000, and the Poseidon-class supercarrier being of similar length to the Warlock but much wider. One of the smallest jump-capable ships known is the Asimov-class luxury liner, at 600 meters. Due the power requirements it only mounts small anti-fighter weapons. As stated above, jump drives are generally massive and are power hogs anyway, forcing jump-capable ships not built by the First Ones to be large (the Vorlon have been able to build a jump-capable ship the size of a Cessna, showing the massive technological disparity). Aside the First Ones, only Vree, Centauri and Minbari have shown the ability to manufacture jump drives for ships smaller than the Asimov, and given the power requirements the Vree and the Centauri are limited to barely armed transports. Only the Minbari can make jump-capable practical warships, and even they prefer either small non-jump capable warships or large jump-capable ones for anything but recon duty.

While scales aren't given often (and when they are, they are seldom reliable), the Galactic Council ship Benign Intervention and the various Titans both dwarf the Lost Light. By way of justification, the Lost Light is crewed by giant transforming robots, the Benign Intervention is crewed by aliens even bigger than the giant robots, and Titans transform into entire mobile cities scaled for giant robots.
