Where did you obtain this data, because these sizes are not consistent with reported values from EDDN websites like EDSM and spansh.
For example, the 2nd largest star in Elite Dangerous is RS Persei A, with a radius of 1,265.31 solar radii.
Spansh can perform a body search for largest stars. Search attribute "solar radius" and limit to 500+ solar radii (only catalog stars can be larger than 500), and order in descending order. Here is a link to this search, which reveals the 19 stars larger than 500 solar radii in Elite Dangerous.

Jumping to a system with such a huge supergiant star is quite the experience. When you have jumped to hundreds if not thousands of star systems with a "normal" star, you immediately notice the difference when it's a supergiant. Even though in principle it looks the same when you are at a proportionally equal distance from it than a star of any other size, your flight speed immediately just feels different.
It's also very telling that you can fuel-scoop these stars while traversing at 50-100c, which is huge.

That's really cool dude! I myself am in pursuit of similar stars.
It's fairly straightforward to find these. Just go to some sector near the galactic center except between X values -1000 and +2000. Then search "Sectorname AA-A h" and let the search bar fill the rest in. These are H mass stars, which are the most massive stars in the galaxy. B type supergiants will generally be very large, up to 500 solar radii. 500 solar radii is the largest a procedural generated star is allowed to be.
I've always been interested in Class O stars, but I've never found a single supergiant among them.
Very large O class stars can generate, but they will not be as large is B class supergiants, and I don't believe the game designates them as supergiants ever.
The catalog has been updated.
I'm somewhat disappointed the one I found isn't among them.
Anyway, the new list is less useful IMO, because it's harder to go through the stars in descending size order.
Try creating your own list and we'll see how useful it will be.
That sounds very rude.
I suggested that you create your own list of big stars. What is my rudeness?
I presented my opinion on how to improve the list (or, in this case, that the formatting of the previous list was better), and answering to such an improvement suggestion with "try creating your own list and we'll see how useful it will be" sounds like a very rude response. You might not have intended it like that, but that's how it sounds.
The one you found is a generated system. The list only contains 'real' star systems
If I have missed something in this catalog, do not hesitate to let me know in your comment.
