Apart from its incredulous size, it’s unremarkable and utterly pales in comparison to the runner-up, the Galactic Empire’s Super Star Destroyer. Warhammer 40K, the dystopian tabletop wargame, comes close, packing several dozen ships that share, among other things, a penchant for Gothic filigree.Īs for the largest ship, the title goes to the “City Destroyer Invasion Mothership” from Independence Day, which spans a ludicrous 24,000 meters (78,740 feet) in length. Both EVE Online, a game consisting exclusively of warring spacecraft, and Star Trek battle for supremacy where the former dabbles in brobdingnagian excess, the latter is more typologically diverse. Safe to say, there is a slight margin of error here, but don’t let it distract you from zooming in and pouring over each of the ships.Īnd how do they measure up? In sheer numbers, it’s hard to say–that, and I just don’t want to count. At times, he writes on his profile, he came across conflicting measurements, forcing him to pick between the inconsistencies. Who fans, there is indeed a Tardis in there, you just have to find it.Culling wiki pages and fan sites for accurate dimensions and images, Loechel assembled his constellation of starships as a simple comparison table to gauge the respective ambitions of fictional space civilizations. It’s worth zooming around the full sized map yourself, which you can see by clicking on the image below.

Loechel has been working on the map for a while, updating it with more ships each time. From Halo to Star Wars to Starship Troopers to Farscape, Loechel has compiled the sizes of each ship and placed them all together, to scale.
Artist Dirk Loechel has created a size comparison for dozens of ships. What would it look like if you put nearly every famous science fiction spaceship next to one another? This image.
