Playable? Elachi Shesar dreadnought. NPC? Borg Unimatrix. Overall in Star Trek? Probably Voth fortress, V'Ger or Whale probe ship

No, the biggest NPC is the Voth fortress ship. The damn thing is in Eldar Craftworld territory. Its gun turrets are as big as most cruisers.
— Sabaton, "Great War"

That's if you consider it a ship instead of a background prop/map, the biggest NPC ship is the Unimatrix ship, followed by the Voth Citadel and borg cubes, then the Tholian tarantula the Breen rezreth (please cryptic, make it the winter event ship), Jem'hadar Dreadnought and Romulan dreadnought.
Damn near everything:
Earth and The Moon compared to the Deathstars:
says who? i thought they started constructing the second one shortly after luke blew up the first, and there was a 4 year gap between the battle of yavin and the battle of endor

Why would anyone consider it a back ground prop? We've flown around it and inside it...it's a ship.
it's a giant space cave

I like the Damn Near Everything Chart.

I stand corrected; according to the EU novel Shadows of the Empire approximately 60% of the Deathstar II was completed in the six month period before ROTJ.
even 60% complete in a six month period seems way too fast, even for the empire - especially when it took them 19 years to FINISH constructing the first one after 'liberating' it from seperatist control, and that one was only, what - 1/7th the size?

then why did it take them NINETEEN YEARS to finish a station 1/7 the size that was already roughly 30% completed by the end of the clone wars?

Getting the hang of it I guess? Or perhaps the Empire was still in the process of forming itself to full efficiency. However I am a little unaware of the timeline scales of Star Wars.
*Looks at the damn near everything picture* Oh my gravity well ship vore senses are tingling at that picture, I just want to see them all bunch up, and form a new star with those chain reacting blasts! mwuhauha! *Casts gravity well MK 9000*
The first DS required a great deal more R&D (lol -- Emperor Palpatine did NOT want to spend 18 TRILLION TRILLION refined dilithium to "Finish Now" across thousands of different crafting schools-- lol).
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Star_II
"...Different from the Empire's first Death Star, which, as a result of supply and design problems, took twenty-one years to be considered an operational battlestation, this much larger Death Star took far less time to construct. Methods of faster construction had been developed in the years since the original station's conception, added to the fact that Imperial engineers made sure to allocate enough space on the station for the maximum possible amount of self-replicating construction droids..."
Megastructures will dwarf pretty much everything on that list. So that includes stuff like Halo's Dyson rings or Star Trek's Dyson shells.
We're talking about a jump from something that's, roughly, 2AU in diameter in comparison to things that are, at most, a couple km.
To be fair, some of that is a gameplay consideration. Can you imagine how aggravating it would be to try to actually find and attack a Defiant-class ship if the game was scaled correctly?
The game is scaled "creatively" for the same reason almost all visual media involving space are. To make it interesting to look at. Space is big, there is no realistic reason for two ships to be in visual range of eachother unless they're trying to dock. If the game was scaled correctly, all ships would mostly appear as target markers in the black. But that would be boring.
Oh & yippie! Hip, hip hooray! 100 posts! lol
