The Liberty was a MC80 Liberty Type Heavy Star Cruiser of the MC80 Star Cruiser line that served in the Alliance Fleet during the Galactic Civil War. The ship served as Corona Squadron's headquarters,[2] and notably participated in the decisive battle fought at Endor, where it was the first victim of the second Death Star.[3]
Description[]

The Liberty moments before its destruction at Endor
The Liberty was 1,200 meters long, the standard length for an MC80 Star Cruiser. As such, it was initially armed with turbolaser batteries, ion cannons, and tractor beam projectors.[4]
The Liberty was much larger and more sophisticated than most starships in the Alliance Fleet. Since MC80s were designed for the comfort of the Mon Calamari, indoor temperatures were higher than average, and the humidity in the air was intense. Because of that, the conditions aboard the Liberty were most uncomfortable for human crew members.[2]
