Considering SSDs are either Executor-class (18 klicks length) or Lusankya-class (8 klicks length, unsure of class name) 'SSD' could be anything larget than an Impstar Deuce.

Urr? Lusankya is an Executor-class. It was intentionally identical to Executor, and built at the same time, so they could combine the reports and disguise the fact that there were two ships rather than one--the shipyards at Fondor and Bilbringi both thought they were building Executor. It looks like the smallest class listed on Wookieepedia's 'Super Star Destroyer' page is the Allegiance-class, which comes in at only 2.2 kilometers, so yeah, basically--any Star Destroyer much larger than an ISD could probably be called an SSD. You wouldn't use the term for warships that aren't Star Destroyers, though--Malevolence, for example, is plenty big enough, but it'd be weird to call it a Super Star Destroyer.

Guys please do not tell me you're arguing with LJS about Star Wars.
Don't do that.

Jeorg Lukas doesn't even know Stork Wars, comrade. LJS is actually Jeorg Lukas, but only the parts he had surgically removed which know about Stork Wars, which were then implanted in a Stork Wars enthusiast. In short, LJS is the real Jeorg Lukas, who lives in a boat off Cuba

@Jedi There were two classes (well, sizes) of SSDs in the books I've read; Executor is consistently described as 18 klicks in length and as Vader's flagship, but depending on the author, Luskankya (and Razor's Kiss, Iron Fist, and so on) are either described as the same size (Michael A. Stackpole's X-Wing books) or as 8 klicks in length (Aaron Alliston's X-Wing books).

\o/ for conflicting information.

I assume SSD here means "Super Star Destroyer", not "Solid State Drive"?

So, until about 2004 Executor was usually listed as being 8 kilometers long (other numbers were given sometimes too, but 8 was the most common). The problem with that is that, if you look at the movie, Executor is visibly larger than that given that the Imperial-class is 1.6 kilometers long, which has never been in question. The length that has been used since then is 19 kilometers, because that's consistent with what you see in the movie and with the production notes for what was intended for ESB, and that's the canonical length. The early X-Wing novels were published before that, which is why they use the old information—they've always been the same size as Executor, and their official lengths changed when Executor's did. When Bacta War was written 'Super Star Destroyer' or 'Super-class Star Destroyer' was still the official name of the class of ship Executor is a member of, further increasing the confusion. This kind of stuff is why Disney employs a person whose entire job is managing the canon and making this kind of decision. xD
