Are you curious as to how star ships from various science fiction universes stack up against one another? Is the Battlestar Galactica larger than the Enterprise? How big is a Star Destroyer compared to a Warhammer? To all of us geeks out there these are important questions and Dirk Loechel decided to answer that question for us. After painful research and scraping the Internet for information, we now have the most complete size comparison chart of spaceships to date!

This chart is still a work in progress as there are a few key science fiction pieces missing, but with what IS available so far is impressive! It’s hard to think of any reason to complain because this is just an amazing piece of work. (For a full size version make sure to click through to the Loechel’s Deviant Art page!)

While this chart won’t answer directly who would win in a fight, it should at least give you some ideas on various ships in visual scale comparisons to one another.
