In addition to their firepower, MC80 ships also carry up to ten squadrons of fighters, along with numerous shuttles, landing ships, and utility craft. Sturdy, well-built, and over-engineered, they were designed to stand up to the rigors of constant interstellar travel, a type of shipbuilding that took surprisingly well to combat roles.īeneath the graceful, rolling lines of their hull plates, these ships mount a frightful array of heavy weapons, and their firepower and thickly armored hulls have taken more than one Imperial battlegroup by surprise. Rivaling the Imperial //-class Star Destroyers in length and mass, these ships fell into the hands of the Alliance as the Mon Calamari people were liberated from their Imperial oppressors. Each one is unique, hand-crafted by talented Mon Calamari shipwrights to exacting specifications. Produced by Mon Calamari Shipyards, the MC80 ships were initially designed as long range exploration or pleasure craft, civilian vessels designed to cruise the stars for knowledge or carry passengers in luxury and style. Long and sleek with a decidedly bulbous, organic silhouette, these lovely vessels are among the few heavy line of battle ships possessed by the Rebel Alliance.
