> That's nothing. I'm sure the Dyson Sphere from Star Trek TNG would be the biggest of all, since it had a diameter of about 200 million km.
Stretching the idea of a "ship" a bit isn't it. I mean, where are you going to go with it?

If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

I was thinking the Base Stars were just huge but I would think that of anything ~2km in diameter. I guess there is no perspective in outer space!
The last BSG presented a much more conservative vision of space expansion than Star Wars (and logarithmicly less than Star Trek), tho. And a crucial element of the plot revolves around everyone's reliance on planets, so the ships are not too big. The "Battlestar Wiki" doesn't even bother including dimensions:
