The MC-60 is a smaller, lighter cruiser variant of the large MC-80 series of cruisers. Unlike the MC-80, the MC-60 was designed by the Mon Calamari specifically for use as a warship after the Mon Calamari joined the Alliance.

Design

Its smaller size combined with its more powerful hyperdrive motivator allows the MC-60 to travel the space lanes faster, making it suitable as a mobile base of operations for Rebel commerce raiding operations as well as a capable line ship for Rebel task forces. Likewise, though, the MC-60 is not capable of matching the Empire's Star Destroyers in terms of sheer firepower or survivability. When confronted by a larger vessel, the cruiser will operate in groups and will often rely on the superior Rebel star fighters to augment its offensive and defensive ability.
