Mon Calamari heavy carrier

The Mon Cal heavy cruiser was a warship developed by the Mon Calamari for use by the Galactic Alliance Defense Force.

One of the class, the Blue Diver, was attached to the Galactic Alliance Second Fleet. It was part of a task force of Second Fleet warships dispatched to Corellia in 40 ABY during a growing crisis between the Alliance and the Corellian government. It carried several fighter squadrons and was equipped with turbolasers.

Behind the Scences
The Mon Cal heavy carrier is the first ever vessel in the Expanded Universe designed by the Mon Calamari that is described as a carrier. It is unknown as to whether the vessel is a traditional carrier-style vessel or named in a similar attempt as the Galactic-class battle carrier, which was a warship designated a carrier in an attempt to make Alliance deployed warships less threatening sounding.
