Each square in starship
scale measures 500 feet along a side (instead of 5 feet, as in character-
scale combat). All
starships, regardless of size, have a square fighting space. Some
starships occupy a single 500-foot square, while others have a larger fighting space, as noted below.
An
ultralight starship can be up to 250 feet long. It occupies a 250-foot-by-250-foot fighting space, and up to four
ultralight starships can occupy a single 500-foot square.
A
light starship measures 251-500 feet in
length. It has a 500-foot-by-500-foot fighting space and occupies a single 500-foot square.
A
mediumweight starship measures 501-1,000 feet in
length. It occupies a 1,000-foot-by-1,000-foot fighting space (4 500-foot squares).
A
heavy starship measures 1,001-1,500 feet long. It has a 1,500-foot-by-1,500-foot fighting space (9 500-foot squares).
A
superheavy starship is 1,501 feet long or longer. The smallest
superheavy starships (measuring 1,501-2,000 feet long) have a 2,000-foot-by-2,000-foot fighting space (16 500-foot squares), although larger fighting spaces are possible.
