How about The Eye of Palpatine? It could be an NPC capital ship because of The Will, but that doesn't seem that fun. Maybe instead of going to the parts the players operate from terminals. It would be fun to dock on it and blow it up from inside.
EDIT: If you don't know what it is, read Children of the Jedi.

I love the idea but isn't that like 11 years after endor?
Also, including it yet alone blowing it up are very large story changes, and we can't have that.

Actually, The Eye of Palpatine was built about 45 years before Children of the Jedi. It was shut down by the one Jedi Knight and then destroyed by Luke. And if Star Destroyers can be destroyed without worry of plot holes, then The Eye of Palpatine can too.

The Eye is sitting on the surface of Coruscant hidden under the Imperial Center. It isn't launched until Isard steals it.
They NEED to make a "Dead Eye" type storyline where Rebels and Imperials battle to delay/defend the launching of the Executor in both space AND in an instanced dungeon.
An SSD would be TOO large to put into JTL. 12.4km long...

Zones as they exist now are only about 16km wide.
Maybe an Interdictor or Victory-I could be done in more zones, but not an SSD.

based on movie scale and development notes, Executor is about 17.6 KM long, not 12.4 It would be bigger than the space zone 
I have a list of capships that should be included in the pilot issues thread under pilot professions
