Design
Each of these ships is a hand-crafted work of art, and each areunique. They appear to be organic in nature,rounded pods and bulges that contain sensor arrays, weapons batteries, and shield generators give these star cruisers a disgustingly organic look, as if the ship is alive. To protect the MC80 when it was transformed from a luxury vehicle to a battleship, the Mon Calamari covered the numerous viewports with hull components and heavy blast doors to protect the ship's structural integrity. Further, the cruiser's systems are redundant, making the cruiser difficult to defeat, but expensive to maintain. They were designed with triply-redundant shielding, and most other systems had at least double redundancy.
The MC80a varries in length from 1,200 Meters to 1,800 Meters. Most were unwinged varriants, but a few winged models have been seen. The class had several subclasses generally grouped by size. The most common was the Chitnior and Naritus classes, which are 1,200 meter wingless cruisers. Other larger cruisers, such as the winged Ludtz at 1,400 Meters, and the Pearly Wingless at 1,300 Meters, had only a few vessels grouped with them. Other larger variants, like the Spiky-class, 1,500 Meters, and the yellow-grey colored Golden, 1,800 meters, were rare and often held in reserve and home fleets.
Weapons varried from ship to ship but the standard refit had 48 turbolaser batteries, 20 ion cannon batteries, and 6 tractor beam projectors. Many had added ion cannon batteries, usually up to 36. Later refits were equipped with 4 heavy concussion missiles or heavy proton torpedo tubes. As with weapons, the hangar capacity varied from ship to ship, from 3 squadrons to 6 squadrons.
History
The MC80 was transformed into a combat starship when the Mon Calamari saw the need to defend themselves and joined the Rebel Alliance. MC80a-class was the second variant of these ships. It, like the MC80 had no two ships alike. Many had more fighter capacity, armor, and shielding than its predecessor, and a few were even larger and had more weapons.
