  • After many hours of research and studies (that maybe could have been spent doing homework) I have conglomerated the single most accurate countdown of massive science fiction spacecraft to date. I encountered two problems in the formation of this list: How to classify “big”, and what really qualifies as a “spacecraft”? As far as size goes, this countdown will be based solely upon the longest straight line that can be drawn end to end of the vessel; the length. Now it comes down to what the definition of a spacecraft is. For the purpose of this countdown, I have come up with three necessary qualifications that must be met for a ship to be considered for the list. They are as follows:

    Independence Day 2 lost me at the reveal of the ship. It was so ridiculously large and would’ve done so much damage to the planet that the rest of the movie might as well never have happened.

      Yeah. If it had the gravitational pull to lift things from the ground, It had the gravitational pull to cause Tsunamis thousands of feet high. The pull to cause all major rift zones to trigger.
      To rupture all volcanic zones.
      To pull the atmosphere away.
      Just putting that thing on the other side of the moon would've been enough to cause an extinction event.

A planet being destroyed by a planet size space station for example. And yet you seem perfectly content to let the death star, a mere 160 kilometer space station capable of destroying an entire planet into dust, unscathed from your "wrath" of applying reality to fictional settings.
      You're just being ridiculous, did you even watch the video?
      Some of those ships are hundreds or near a hundred kilometers in length. Reality says that they would fall apart before being able to properly accelerate as their is no such material in the real world that can endure such stresses. What about them? Why aren't you critiquing them?

      Still at first: I don't hate Warhammer 40K, Fantasy or Age of Sigmar, but I make fun of it because sometimes it is so ridiculous. One good example: The first time I played Battlefleet Gothic:Armada at some point the Inquisitor Horst, that's alone a meme for every German, sended for the Exterminatus Fleet to destroy my planets. Some rounds later the "Planet Killer" (seriously? Even Death star was more creative 😂) was called so strong, it could destroy planets in one hour!
      My thoughts: And the Exterminatus fleet throws with cotton balls or what?
      Sure the Death Star wouldn't destroy any planet by crashing in, but that not how it works! Sure, the amount of energy that you would need is ridiculous, but the PK uses some kind of energy weapon as well and okay, Sci-Fi-fantasy, alright. Same with the material etc. In Star Trek it's explained, nowhere else, but again, that's okay for me. I've massive problems with the Leman Russ Tank, but not his weight, because I guess it's some super fancy Sci-Fi material, way stronger than steel but lighter. Still a battle tank with the height of 4 meters is dumb, sorry!

    This clearly doesn't include large spacecraft in all "fiction," just on-screen fiction.
    We also have these things called science-fiction BOOKS.
    Larry Niven's "Ringworld" -- which is a habitable ring around a star one million miles across and 600 MILLION miles long -- is definably a spacecraft: Not only can it move through regular space by causing its sun to eject plasma, we discover in later books that it is also equipped with a Quantum II hyperdrive.
    Niven's Fleet of Worlds is also a spacecraft since it can be directed through space, but it lacks a hyperdrive shunt (as far as we know).

    My favorite “epic scale” things from SciFi are from the Lensman series by E. E. “Doc” Smith. While not ships, they do utilize entire planets as weapons by means of a device that temporarily removes inertia. Find 2 planets with opposing orbits and neutralize their inertia. Move them at FTL speeds so that they’re on opposite sides of the enemy with their orbits such that, when they regain their inertia they’ll collide with each other, then turn off the devices. Smush. Obviously not a spaceship in this implementation, but at one point they do relocate an entire planet to another galaxy, thus effectively turning it into a spaceship.
    Later on, they create a series of devices able to focus the ENTIRE output of a star into a beam weapon, because of course the enemy has figured out the mobile planet trick too and they need a defense against it. O.o

    Quite the collection of large vessels in this video. Some in which I agree: Voth Fortress, V'ger, Whale Probe, Harvester Mothership and MegaMothership, Death Star(s), all being gigantic, the; Lexx, Executor ISD, Harvester City Ship and the Vorlon PK all pail in comparison given the exponential size differences.
    As divisive as it is, from what I've seen in the comments, Dyson spheres are static constructs. In STO they can be moved around, however they do not perform engagement tasks as say the Star Killer base does, which does not move around. I consider "ships" in my books, capable of moving interstellar, perform multiple functions from mining, exploring, performing patrols or mobile starbase duties ect ect... to not being limited to a singular position and can defend itself from attacks. As a result, I don't count the following super/mega-constructs
    Dyson Spheres, Starkiller Base, Borg Unicomplex, Installation 00, Ringworlds. The V'Ger cloud doesn't count either since it isn't even a ship, it originates from a ship which can be toggled on and off, defeating it's potential as a ship... Not even sure how in comparisons i've seen, mark it as a ship aside from a size-reference...
    10. [Star Trek] Whale Probe - 74 km
    9. [Star Trek] V'ger - 98 km
    8. [Star Trek] Voth Fortress - 134 km
    7. [Star Wars] Yuuzhan Vong Worldship - 120 km
    6. [Star Wars] Death Star and Death Star II - 120 km and 160 km
    5. [Halo] High Charity* - 348 km

    2. [Independence Day] Harvester Mothership - 5,000 km
    1. [GR's Andromeda] Magog Worldship** - 1,500,000 km
    * - True, it is generally a space-station but it can move interstellar, defend itself and perform tasks. Mantle's Approach - from the same franchise, could also take its place as a battlestation similar to the Death Star(s)
    ** - I know that this ship is enormous, however I'm not sure as to the precise size of it. However I do know it has it's own Luna-sized structure imbedded in the design, giving it the huge visual size
    *** - For some bizarre reason, this ship is not widely recognised due to it's sheer colossal size, bigger than our sun! Nevertheless, it IMO is the biggest ship that falls under my aforementioned categories
    There are additional ships that could be entered onto this list, however their existence is mostly debatable in canon(?) - I should point out my knowledge for the ships and the franchise is somewhat limited.
    [Star Wars] Ultra Class Star Destroyer - 260 km - !Information is sketchy on my part due to my lack of knowledge. I believe this to be a fan-made ship!
    [Star Wars] Ascendency Hikari Class Super Star Destroyer - 260 km - !Information is sketchy on my part due to my lack of knowledge. I believe this to be a fan-made ship!
    I could name more though I'm content with the selection I've put forth, albeit every single comparison and information regarding all these ships seems to be different everywhere and is very difficult to maintain what exactly would be correct to stick with.

    Unicron from Transformers: The Movie (1986) would fit somewhere between #1 and #2. The second Death Star was larger than the first, even though incomplete; it still counts, because it was technically "fully operational" for its intended purpose, even if it was never fully completed structurally before its demise. Starkiller Base is larger still, though it was a planet that was converted rather than a fresh build. If we include V'ger's cloud, it wins by a long shot. Otherwise, Trek features at least two Dysonian constructs: a Dyson sphere featured in TNG's "Relics" and the Species Ten-C home system; the Ten-C's DMA was also a Construct of Unusual Size, though like V'ger, it was mostly a cloud of energy with a mass core in the middle.

    For a given value of spaceship, both The Ringworld and Fleet of Worlds - both by Larry Niven - qualify. The former is the Trope Namer for the Niven Ring, and in the final book of both of the aforementioned series, it goes FTL, and with a diameter equal to Jupiter, it's the largest singular object in fiction to do so. It doesn't, however, move at sublight speeds. That's one thing that the Fleet of Worlds can do that The Ringworld can't, although both can go FTL. The Fleet, though, is less likely to actually qualify as a spaceship because it is not a singular object in the non-gravitational sense.

      Thus, as a non-planetary, and non-stellar object, going by the orginal 82AU size, astronomically speaking, though it may be big enough to engulf our entire solar system, it's still pretty small ... which gives an idea of just how big our galaxy is, let alone the entire universe ...]

    Also, you wondered why the first Death Star had such a silly, fatal flaw? It's because it was deliberately DESIGNED with that flaw by its lead architect, Galen Erso. For that tale, watch "Rogue One," which IMO is a great film overall...and downright brilliant in its second half.

    • @Sm00k

      Actually, it's because during preparing prop for filming, Death Star shrunk, exposing what was later called the trench. And it's reason why plans do not match with movie model.

    One thing about the Lexx is that it is also one of the most powerful ships in fiction as it can blow up planets like the Death Star, which it enjoys doing with Stanley Tweedle its favorite captain.
    Also if you consider the energy cloud part of the ship, then V'Ger is one of the biggest, before it was changed in later showings, its energy cloud was 82 AU's in diameter. One AU is the distance of the Earth's orbit around the sun.

    Don't say 'Fiction' if you mean movies and shows.
    If you go by fiction your #1 and maybe #2 will be on the list. That's not counting ships that are larger on the inside, by which I don't mean the Tardis, there are ships out there that carry planets and solar systems within them. Though there is at least one ship is technically an entire star system.
    So please either choose your phrasing more carefully or leave the small fry out.

    There are many more who should’ve overthrown these measly ships, and as to say in fiction that means all of fiction, including the unrealistically gargantuan Imperium Class Ultra Star Destroyer which is a fanon ship created around 340 ABY, as a Star Wars fan the lower ships on this list can’t compare to the gargantuan ships that reside in ALL of fiction
    Edit: Oh and the Imperium Class Ultra Star Destroyer was supposed to be 370km long and 140km wide once it was finished, it was supposed to have 2 Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyers in its hangar and thousands of fleets ready to launch at its disposal, with dozens of world devastators to supply itself, it was supposed to represent a ship which would conquer the universe
