Any ship that is always:
- Either completely unique or very rare
- An offensive and defensive platform
- Home to some sort of squad/squadron capable of sortie
- Relatively slow maneuvering
- Has a name (example: Star Wars: The Rebellion force's Mon Calamari Cruiser Home One, and the Empire's Super Star Destroyer Executor)
The ship often has many of the following characteristics:
- Commanded by an important/well-liked Admiral (Ackbar), General, or other officer
- Exceptionally large
- Dificult to destroy
- Extremely well armed
- Large crew
- Self-Sufficient
- Long-lived (usually good guys)(counterexample: Star Wars: Executor lasted 75% of one large scale battle, then a single A-wing crashed into its command bridge and it went splodie into the Second Death Star)
- Short-lived (usually bad guys)(counterexample: Star Wars: Home One lasted through all of the Rebellion's campaign (a different Cruiser was pew pewed by the Second Death Star in Return of the Jedi))
