MC90 Star Cruiser

MC90 Star Cruiser The MC90 Star Cruiser was a warship class designed by the Mon Calamari for the New Republic.

The MC90 represented a number of firsts that highlight the shifting military strategy of the New Republic that would eventually culminate in the New Class program:


 * The vessel was the first Mon Calamari Star Cruiser designed specifically as a warship.
 * Its focus on heavy weapons and large hangars showed a realistic assessment of the firepower required to challenge Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
 * MC90 Star Cruisers were produced beyond Mon Calamari, including the yards of Sluis Van and the Hast Shipyards.
 * Controls and displays were designed for compatibility with most major species, allowing for officers other than Mon Calamari to pilot the vessels.

The first MC90, Defiance, was completed shortly before the Battle of Dac. The MC90 became one of the most powerful warships in the arsenal of the New Republic Defense Fleet, often serving a as flagships for fleets and task forces. Due to the tremendous value of the vessels, most were stationed in the Core Worlds. These powerful warships remained the pinacle of Mon Calamari shipbuilding until the advent of the Mediator-class battle cruiser.
