@m8e:  ''EV Nova'' also has the Polaris Raven, which matches the Auroran carrier for length and is almost as wide.  Also falls under the subtrope UnnecessarilyLargeVessel since for all that size it has a mere 30 crew members.

Web Original:
* ''[[http://www.sideshowsito.com/2009/01/the-ultimate-starship-size-comparison-chart/ The Ultimate Starship Size Comparison Chart]]'' lines up notable ships and space stations from several different science fiction franchises (along with a few real-life ships for the sake of argument) side-by-side to compare their length.  They're all dwarfed by the aforementioned ''Executor''-class star dreadnaught from ''Franchise/StarWars''.

VideoGame:
* In ''Franchise/MassEffect'', Reaper capital ships like ''Sovereign'' and ''Harbinger'' are around two kilometers long and so massive that their kinetic barriers are severely weakened while they're landed in Earthlike gravity (due to the mass effect field strength needed to reduce their mass to the point where they don't crumple under their own weight).  Citadel dreadnoughts vary by race, but average one kilometer.
* The ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' series doesn't explicitly give lengths for its ships.  However in 2009 a forum member in [[http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=244972 this thread]] scaled their in-game models and determined that the largest destroyers average three kilometers, with the Valhalla being the outlier at five.
