MC80A Star Cruiser
Ship Class: Light Star Destroyer
Ship Role: Star Cruiser
Ship Length: 1,300 meters
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 4
Offensive (O): 3
Speed (S): 2
Special Gear: 1 (Hangar Space)
Description:
Built initially as massive pleasure craft by Mon Calamari shipyards, the MC80a Star Cruisers received a series of crucial upgrades to allow them to operate against Imperial warships. The addition of the Mon Calamari provided the Rebel Alliance with their first consistent source of large, powerful capital warships.
Rounded and organic in appearance, most MC80a cruisers were oblong cigar-shaped vessels. The surface of the cruisers were dotted in pods and bulges that contained sensor arrays, weapons batteries, deflector shield generators, and observation decks. Their thrusters were arranged with several on the ventral side close to the bow and several on the dorsal side close to the stern.
The MC80a Star Cruiser's role as the center of most Rebel Alliance fleet formations often pitted it against the larger and more powerful Imperial-class Star Destroyer, which, while unable to match the Star Destroyers in weaponry, was able to outlast in terms of defense due to triple layered shields, multiple redundant back-up shield generators, and double redundancy critical systems. These features, combined with a heavily armored hull and structural fortification, allowed an MC80a to absorb large amounts of damage while other fleet elements either fled or engaged enemy vessels.
It was armed with 48 Turbolaser Batteries, 20 Ion Batteries, and 6 Tractor Beams. It also featured 72 Starfighters, 2 Transports, and 1,200 Troopers.
