Design

Home One and her sisters formed a uniform design type: cylindrical hulls, with a tapered bow, hangar-bays amidships, and bulbous stern mounting ten huge sublight thrusters. The standard crew of the MC120-class consisted of 5,402 individuals, 78 gunners, and a passenger complement of 1,200 troops. MC-120-class ships appeared to have multiple command pods scattered across each ship, protruding from both the dorsal and ventral areas of the hull. One of these served as the command center for the ship. The commanding officer could be situated in a chair attached to a swiveling robotic arm that overlooked both the bridge crew as well as a panoramic window out into space. The bridge contained a holoprojector table situated in the middle of a briefing room section, which crew members used to monitor events during a battle. The MC120-class, like almost all early Mon Cal cruisers, retained her original, species-specific bridge control systems, meaning that, while the bulk of the crew was drawn from the many species that made up the Rebellion, the command crew was made up entirely of Mon Calamari.

The MC120-class had more armor and armaments than the smaller MC80 and MC85 classes, and were subsequently more rare. Standard armament for the subclass included ninety two turbolasers batteries , thirty six heavy ion cannons and six tractor beam projectors. The MC120-class lacked point defense laser systems because their turbolasers' tracking systems were sufficient in targeting and destroying smaller craft and starfighters. Their turbolasers were also capable of planetary bombardment, although they were seldom used in this capacity.

History

The MC120-class Command Cruiser was one of the several Star Cruiser designs built by the Mon Calamari. Originally fielded before the Galactic Civil War as civilian vessels, they were modified by the Rebel Alliance, and served in command ship and battleship roles in the Alliance Fleet. The MC120-class was originally designed for deep-space exploration, and was constructed with massive panoramic viewports, which had to be removed when she was rebuilt as a warship.
