The MC90-class Star Cruiser, also know as the Defiance-class Battlecruiser was the first Mon Calamari Star Cruiser designed specifically as a warship. Its focus on heavy weapons and large hangars showed a realistic assessment of the firepower required to challenge Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
Design
Unlike previous designs, the controls and displays onboard the ship were designed, for the first time on a Mon Calamari Cruiser, for compatibility with most major species, allowing for officers other than Mon Calamari to pilot the vessels.The command center was a clear bubble in the center of the ship, giving the bridge officers a vision of the area below as well as above. Heavier turbolaser batteries replace the older lighter weapons mount giving the MC90-class the needed punch to engage and beat modern Star Destroyers.
