If my memory serves me, the Eclipse SSD was the cloned Emperor Palpatine's new flagship in the Dark Empire comic book series. I think it was in Dark Empire II to be exact. I also remeber it being bigger then the comparison pic shows.

Well it isn't from B5, Star Trek or Star Wars, so would not make any sense for it to be in the Babylon Trek Wars size comparison charts.

Of course, maybe I should actually watch the original, rather than going by the poster art, which is probably exaggerated.
In terms of size, it seems more like "Mighty Joe Young" than King Kong (Am I showing my age now... )

Hi, I did some searching around and found out that the 1 pixel = 1 meter page was actually only one page out of a whole collection with other scales. (10 pixel = 1 meter, 2 pixels = 1 meter, 10 meters per pixel, 100 meters per pixel and 2000 meters per pixel.)

And the bigger ships like the Death Star, Super Star Destroyer, etc, are all here!

Go to this page:

Those are way off for the Eclipse vs. the SSD - the eclipse is 17500m and the SSD is 8000m, yet they are shown as basically the same size.
