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

After the first run of three warships, production of the MC90-class was expanded to the Sluis Van Shipyards, and the Hast Shipyards.

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.
