Some military historians were prepared to argue that a few legendary ships of the ancient galaxy, such as Xim the Despot's Eibon Scimitar and the Bloodshield of Alsakan, should qualify as battlecruisers. Others were comparable in role to the Star Destroyers of the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire, like the Centurion-class and the Scythe-class main battle cruiser employed by the Galactic Alliance Core Fleet.
Due to different naming customs and design-capabilities, some vessels bore the designation of "battlecruiser" while serving as frigate-analogs on a galactic scale, like the Kaloth-style battlecruiser and the Hapes-built Nova-class battle cruiser. Informally, the term "battlecruiser" had been used for centuries to refer to any massive, heavily armored battleship designed for the single purpose of destroying other capital ships. 2.9 Procurator-class Star Battlecruiser.2.8 Praetor Mark II-class battlecruiser.Support the work that Brick Fanatics does by purchasing your LEGO through our affiliate links.

Click through the gallery above to see just how unwieldy a minifigure-scale Death Star really is.Īt the risk of running through numbers again: very unwieldy, given the diameter of the spherical station would stretch to approximately 560,000 studs (or 2.8 miles / 4.4 kilometres). That’s roughly 26 metres (or 84 feet).īut reading those numbers isn’t quite the same as visualising them against a real-world environment, nor seeing them in comparison to existing LEGO sets, and that’s where the beauty of this project comes in. If you thought 75159 Death Star and 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer were big models, those same ships (and bases – is the Death Star a ship?) at minifigure scale basically rewrite the entire concept of large LEGO sets.įor example, a Venator-class Star Destroyer at 1:45 scale – the size determined closest to minifigure-scale, based on the height of a single minifigure, by Geroditus – would apparently come in at 3,208 studs long. That’s courtesy of redditor Geroditus, who’s done the maths and come up with some very cool visualisations of the Star Wars saga’s most iconic capital ships, from Star Destroyers to the Death Star, all at minifigure scale.
