The Death Star may have been destroyed but the Empire's technological might in war remains unstoppable, especially as the hunt for the Rebel Alliance intensifies. Having escaped the Battle of Yavin in his damaged TIE fighter, Darth Vader leads the new search and destroy mission, as well as his own personal agenda, commanding the mighty Super Star Destroyer, the Executor.

Originally, there was to have been no Super Star Destroyer for Vader in The Empire Strikes Back- he was to have commanded an ordinary Star Destroyer, but this notion was soon changed in the pre-production phase when ILM's Model Shop, led by Lorne Peterson, told George Lucas that a new and impressive craft could be created without going over budget.
