A Scale Comparison of Every Fictional Starship Ever (Almost)
(click for the enormous version)
Alright, so what you’re looking at might be a bit of a scrunched blur, but it’s actually a massive size comparison of every fictional spaceship that’s probably going to cross your mind.
From Star Wars to Star Trek to Firefly to BSG to everything in between, this shows just how big all these ships are compared to one another. It’s not the first one of these I’ve seen, but it’s far and away the most extensive, and I can’t even count how many ships are actually on here.
The artist is Dirk Loechel, so snaps for him for putting this monstrosity together.

A good one is missing from the Star Wars expanded universe. Yuuzhan Vong Worldships were around 100km in diameter. That’s more than four times as wide as the biggest ship in this picture.
I couldn’t fine (or missed) the Discovery from 2001 and any ships from the Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Found this website a while back. It is in the same vein. It lets you drag various ships next to each other for size comparison. http://www.merzo.net/index.html
Where’s the Death Star?
The Death Star is defined in the movie as a space station, so nitpickity, it’s exclusion from the list is correct.
Sorry, should have said technically rather than nitpickity there
No Mass Effect ships?
They missed Atlantis from stargate, which is easily 5k in diamater
You have three ships from Firefly, but not Serenity herself? What blasphemy is this?!?!
I was looking forward to seeing the Death Star as well, but also realized, as already stated, that it is called a space station by Obi-wan (sorry, spoilers!) but also consider it is called a battle station by one of the imperial commanders. I think it belongs on this poster, but I really think it would shrink everything else down to the point of being pointless.
The Death Star should be included. Space station, battle station, whatever… It can move through space through under it’s own power, therefore, it is a starship.
They show a lot of the major/large ships…but what about starfighters? The small fighting ships? They don’t show any of those in this picture. Trust me, I searched the whole thing in the close-up view.
and it’s missing the death star…….
Isn’t the Death Star a space station?
Technically yes, but it’s also one of the most iconic space vehicles of all time. Also, it moves on its own power, to where it is directed, like when it flew to Aldoran and destroyed it, so it’s a bit of both.
ya that’s what i was thinking as well. It’s been a few years since I sat down and watched all of them.
Is Red Dwarf on there? I didn’t look that extensively, but I’m curious to see the size comparison, because Red Dwarf was good at explaining that it was “5 miles long” and low long it actually took to go between decks. Why do ships need to be that big?? Hell, the Borg Cube could already fit thousands!
Yes it’s towards the bottom
No Mass Effect ships, from what I saw. Maybe I missed them, but no Reapers, no Citadel? For that matter, nothing from Halo, either.
Found Halo ships, nvm…
What about the TARDIS?
ok so i see the infinity but what about the huge ass didact ship?
missing ships from homeworld thats what i really want to see
Yeah Mass Effect is a pretty huge element to be missing in an image like this.
you see how big the independence day landing ships are, now imagine the mother ship.
