Thanks to Sphero ’s new app for itsremote control Star Wars astromechs , we finally have our first flavour at Supreme Leader Snoke ’s " Mega Star Destroyer , " The Supremacy . Until now , the ship had only beenmentioned in rumorswith the " Mega " descriptor , but this fresh image reveals exactly what to expect from the First Order flagship that house Snoke ’s throne room , presumably serving as a roving dictation pith for the First Order during the events ofThe Last Jedi , and it ’s definitely not what mostStar Warsfans would expect from something line as a " Star Destroyer .

While most of the First Order ’s fleet has so far mimic the ships of the Galactic Empire it acquire out of , The Supremacy is a whole new beast . The iconic isosceles triangle shaped sticker - sword like ship have a feeling that see back to the first moment ofA New Hopewhen Darth Vader ’s Devastator chases Princess Leia and the slip Death Star design in the Tantive IV , but inStar Warschronologyit extends even further back , at least to the Venator - year Star Destroyer , or Jedi Cruiser , that first appear inAttack of the Clones , although that design in all likelihood was n’t totally original , with similar plan possibly dating even farther back into unknownStar Warscanon . The intent , of course , re-emerge in the beginning ofThe Force Awakenswith the First Order ’s update , but still wholly standardized , designs .
Despite its difference , The Supremacy technically assert a triangular shape , although at a far more dumb slant than its more traditional kin . According to the app , The Supremacy is the only Star Destroyer of its sort - with Mega - grade being an prescribed appellative - and come in at 60 kilometer from conclusion to end . For a comparison , the First Order ’s renascent - class Star Destroyers , like The Finalizer , Kylo Ren ’s command ship , come in at just 3 kilometers . In fact , the numerous little triangle notch watch along the back boundary of the Mega Star Destroyer are roughly the good size to go a Resurgent - class ship . Whether or not those are actual docking ports , The Supremacy is obviously more than big enough to hold a identification number of Star Destroyers and other ships , not to mention swarm of TIE fighters .
Update : A new image revealed by the Sphero app testify that reverse side of the gigantic ship and indicates that The Supremacy - in addition to dockage can Star Destroyers - can also indemnify and work up Modern ships , make it an even more significant part of the First Order ’s power .
For further comparison , The Empire ’s Executor - class Super Star Destroyers were only 19 kilometers long , and the original Death Star had a diameter of 160 kilometers , think of The Supremacy ’s size of it has more in common with a superweapon than it does any ships we ’ve view before . Clearly , The First Order has far more up its sleeve than Starkiller Base . After the destruction of Hosnian Prime and the New Republic fleet inThe Force Awakens , The Resistance is go to have a hard time mustering up anything they could even dare use in an attack against The Supremacy , unless The First Order behemoth also has a singular , potentially catastrophic flaw as well .
Whether The Supremacy come across much action inThe Last Jedi , or merely serve as a habitation to Snoke and Kylo Ren when they ’re not engage Luke , Rey , or the sleep of the resistance is n’t quite decipherable . fresh leaks have give us amore clear picture show of the overall plot , but many details have yet to be revealed , andThe Last Jediis bound to keep a twist or two for the theater .
