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. Though not much larger than an MC80b-class Star Cruiser, the MC90-class possesses weaponry that rivals that of the MC85-class Command Cruiser. Virtually all non-essential compartments have been removed to make room for gunnery emplacements. A large dorsal hanger opening to the prow of the ship housed seventy two fighter craft and dozens of other shuttles and assault craft.
History
The MC90-class represented a number of firsts that highlight the shifting military strategy of the New Republic. The first MC90, Defiance, was completed shortly before the Battle of Duro. These powerful warships are the pinnacle of Mon Calamari ship building. The MC90-class are one of the most powerful and exspensive warships in the arsenal of the Alliance of Free Planets, often serving as a flagship for fleets and task forces. After the first run of three warships, production of the MC90-class was expanded to the Sluis Van Shipyards, and the Hast Shipyards.
