This cruiser[1] was a type of Mon Calamari starship that was part of the Mon Cala Imperial Trade Fleet and was above the planet Mon Cala during a mission undertaken by a Rebel Alliance team led by Leia Organa.[3] The cruiser was later part of the fleet's mutiny to the Alliance to Restore the Republic.[2]
History
Edit
Vanden Willard's cruiser being fired upon
General Vanden Willard commanded a cruiser of this model after the mutiny on Mon Cala. It had been modified with technology from Shu-Torun. Eventually, after the Alliance celebrated the gathering of this fleet, Willard prepared his cruiser to jump to hyperspace, but the technology given to the rebellion was inoperable, including Willard's cruiser's hyperdrive. Darth Vader's Death Squadron arrived and destroyed Willard's cruiser, killing him and his entire crew.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
The Mon Calamari cruiser first appeared, albeit unnamed, in the 2018 canon comic, Star Wars 44: Mutiny at Mon Cala, Part I, written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larroca.[3]
