![Turbolasers the size of Iowa battleships! (canon)
The heaviest turbolaser turrets on an Imperial star destroyer MKI (Imperator) are fifty meters in diameter and easily an order of magnitude larger than the [real world] turrets mounted on the US Iowa battleships, which carried 16 inch (cal) guns.
Considering the Imperators turbolasers sheer size they must each weigh more than ten thousands metric tons. Because they are both an order of magnitude larger and several orders of magnitude more advanced than Iowas cannons, they must also be many* orders of magnitude more effective within their optimum range (i.e capable of megaton+ yields).

Note the Iowas guns could blast an area of thousands of square meters with a single explosive shell. The guns could also fire special low yield nuclear devices known as Katie shells with a yield of ~20 kilotons (several orders of magnitude more energetic than the standard shells which had a sub kiloton yield).

The ISD turret is similarly voluminous overall to the Iowa battleship.

![Multi Troop Transport (MTT) | capabilities & specifications
Multi Troop Transports (MTTs) are 35.94 meter (~118 ft) long behemoth tanks built en masse by Baktoid Armour for the Trade Federation. Baktoid Armour also supplied the Confederacy of Independent Systems with these tanks during the Clone Wars.
MTTs typically carry and deploy 112 B1 battledroids, but could be configured to transport other types of war droid including B2 super battledroids. They could achieve offroad speeds of 37 km/h (23 mi/h) cruising through Nabooian swamp forests [seen at 00:25 to 00:28 and 00:37 to 00:41 (35.94 meters in ~3.5 seconds)], and have a max. sustainable speed of 35 kph according to Baktoid.
MTTs are armed with a quartet of antipersonnel blaster cannons that are situated at the tanks prow & twin mounted in ball turrets. At maximum power these weapons could unleash a multi gigajoule barrage that would obliterate hundreds of tonnes of solid material and produce an explosion tens of meters wide. The tanks armour is impervious to small arms fire and could reduce damage inflicted from blaster artillery and explosives.
A terrifying display of Trade Federation efficiency, the mammoth MTT (Multi Troop Transport) is an armored giant capable of disgorging over a hundred battle droid soldiers into the thick of combat. The vehicles bulbous armored front end opens to reveal an articulated deployment rack, upon which rest dozens of compressed battle droids. The rack extends forward and deposits the droids into neatly organized rows.
