While the story lines of games are generally considered acurate unless
overridden by higher canon, the technology is usually modified for gaming or
just plain wrong. For instance X-wing vs. TIE fighter's ship info section
lists a Victory Star Destroyer as 1.6km long and an Imperial Star Destroy at
3.2km long. This is incorrect as a VSD in only 900meters while the ISD is
1.6km. This game also states that a Super Star Destroyer is (not 100% on this)
12km long. Most books read it as 8km long. In "reality" we clearly see in the
movies that an SSD is about 11 times longer than an ISD putting it around
17.6km long. If games are wrong on such obvious points, using any tech info
from them is plain silly
