Design

An improved design over the MC40, the MC40a Light Cruiser was developed to provide for a growing Rebel Alliance fleet. The MC40a-class is a three engine vessel that features a large hanger bay on its port side. Like the larger Mon Calamari Cruisers, the MC40a is covered with bumps and blisters houseing Shield generators and weapons batteries. The MC40a-class has a hangar twice the size of its predecessor, capable of carrying up to two starfighter squadrons.
