Executor (LadyVader)

The Super Star Destroyer Executor, or "Lady Ex," as she was known by her crew and commander, was the personal flagship of the Lord Darth Vader, the premier command ship of the Imperial Navy, and the first of the Executor-class Star Dreadnought line.
Designed by Firmus Piett (LadyVader) and starship engineer Lira Wessex (LadyVader) as a successor to the original Imperial-class Star Destroyer, the Executor, at a monumental 19,000 meters in length, represented the largest traditional warship the galaxy had ever seen by the time of its completion.
She was Piett's' brainchild, he had the first idea his first year in the Academy and doodled the first rough blueprints in a journal.
Wessex got her hands on the journal in Firmus' last year of school without him knowing about it and turned the rough sketches into full scale blueprints.
==Construction Begins==
Construction on the Executor began under complete secrecy in the secluded Scarl system, where Vader raised and trained Galen Marek (LadyVader), his secret dark side apprentice, in a failed plan to overthrow Emperor Palpatine as galactic ruler. By 0 ABY, the Executor was transferred to the Starship Yards of Fondor (LadyVader) for the final stages of construction, under the overall direction of Admiral Amise Griff (LadyVader).
The Executor bristled with more than 5,000 weapon emplacements, enough firepower to blast any planetary surface to slag in hours, and a military complement capable of annihilating any ground installation. The Executor's presence alone, however, was enough to frighten an entire star system into submission.
At Fondor, the Executor became the failed target of internal sabotage by a group of traitorous Imperial admirals, who hoped to destroy Vader's project to prevent their own decline in power. Once completed, the Executor made for Yavin 4 (LadyVader), site of the Rebel Alliance base. Vader hoped to crush the Rebellion once and for all with his new weapon, but the Executor failed to stop the Rebel evacuation from Yavin, and Griff died in the process.
For three years after Yavin, under the command of Admiral Kendall Ozzel (LadyVader), the Executor led Vader's Star Destroyer fleet, the Imperial Death Squadron (LadyVader), in the Empire's hunt for the Rebellion's secret headquarters as part of Vader's personal mission to locate his son, Luke Skywalker. In 3 ABY, the Executor led the Imperial victory at the Battle of Hoth, but due to the tactical blundering of Ozzel, Skywalker and the Rebellion leadership escaped, and Vader executed Ozzel for his failure. The Executor's admiralty immediately passed to Captain Piett, under whom the Executor chased the Millennium Falcon from Hoth to Bespin's Cloud City in continued pursuit of Skywalker. The Executor again failed to capture Skywalker at Bespin, however, and so Vader's search for his son continued.
==Executor II==
Piett had had two identical ships made. The first ship was destroyed when it was pulled into the gravity well of the second Death Star. 
Arek Diruno knocked him out and dragged him to a small escape pod he'd installed in the plans; they launched before the ship crashed. Thanks to said pod, a small handful of the original crew survived. 
He painted the Rebel starbird on the other Destroyer's hull and contacted Simara Mothma, swearing allegiance to her. The Executor was taken without bloodshed, as Mothma entered the bridge Piett yelled "Captain on deck" and every bridge officer snapped to attention. 
"Lady Mothma, you want to know who our allegiance is to. . . we swear it to you and the Alliance."
"Admiral Piett. . . Firmus, isn't it?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"The Alliance welcomes you."
"Thank you, Lady Mothma. I seriously never thought I'd be serving about her, that my plans would get beyond what they did."
"Your plans?"
"In my first and second years at the Academy, I doodled the blueprints for this ship in a journal. I made identical twins. The first one sank, I got out of there thanks to the escape pod I had hidden under the deck of the bridge."
"I overheard another officer mention 'your' ship, I thought that was just because you had command."
"No, ma'am. The Lady's my brainchild. Now she and I are under your command. Just one moment please. """ATTENTION ON DECK! ALL OFFICERS, THE LADY HAS OFFICIALLY DEFECTED TO THE REBELLION! IF ANY OFFICERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, TAKE IT UP WITH ME PERSONALLY! PIETT OUT!'"""' The ship's yours, milady." 
"Thank you, Admiral. . . " (the rest of Mothma's words get cut off by a roaring shipwide cheer) 
== Second version of page ==
The Executor, the "Lady Ex" as her crew affectionately called her, was the brainchild of Firmus Piett during his first month at the Academy. He designed the blueprints on one of his datapads and was upset for a week after losing said datapad. Lira Wessex had picked it up and, assuming it was abandoned, had kept it. When she finally met Piett aboard the Lady Ex, the two got into a conversation and she realized he was the artist.
"Admiral, I'm so sorry, if I had known it was your datapad I would've returned it to you."
"I'm glad you didn't, Ms. Wessex. She's a beauty and a good ship. My blueprints and your brains . . ."
"Our brains, not just mine. I could never have done it on my own."
"Nor could I. We make a good team. Do you think there should be more destroyers under the Executor line?"
"Yes but they should be held as peacekeepers, only used in emergencies, for defense, not attack."
"I feel the exact same way. When I found out that the weapons were turned against an innocent world I was so upset that at first . . . . I seriously thought about entering one of the airlocks and cycling it. But how could I help others by that?"
"I'm glad you didn't, Captain."
