==Summary==
The MC80 star cruiser, also often referred to as MC80 Mon Calamari cruiser, was a line of capital ships manufactured by Mon Calamari Shipyards, a Mon Cala based shipbuilding corporation that was sympathetic to the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Originally designed as pleasure cruise vessels, this line also came in combat capable variants that were outfitted with outstandingly strong armored hulls, extremely resilient deflector shielding, a collection of powerful capital ship grade armaments, and expansive bays that could hold at least ten starfighter squadrons. They also came in variants specifically designed for rescue and other emergency operations.
The MC80 line came in two subclasses: MC80 Home One type and MC80 Liberty type. The Home One type can be distinguished by its cigar shape and more rounded bow. The Liberty type can be distinguished by its delta wings and relatively sharper bow. Other than these two differences, these two subclasses are identical in everything else and both served well under the banner of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and later under the New Republic Starfleet. Indeed, without these powerful capital ships which could go toe to toe with an Imperial-class star destroyer, the Rebel Alliance could never have hoped to take on the might of the Imperial Navy. The MC80 line is truly a testament to the genius and artistry of Mon Calamari engineers and also an important line of vessels in the history of the galaxy.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: with laser cannons. with heavy turbolasers
Name: MC80 star cruiser (MC80 Home One type star cruiser and MC80 Liberty type star cruiser)
Origin: Star Wars
Classification: Starship, Cruiser, Carrier
Users: Alliance to Restore the Republic, New Republic Starfleet
Length: 1,200 metres
Material: Durasteel, Doonium, likely also Duralloy armor plating on the hull
Needed prerequisite for use: Trained crew of at least 5,000 plus at least several dozen gunners
Terrain: Space, Atmosphere
Attack Potency: City level+ with laser cannons (Should be superior to the comparatively outdated models used on the likes of the Clone Wars era Munificent-class). Island level with heavy turbolasers (More powerful than the Rebellion's MC75 Star Cruisers and , though they are inferior. Superior to MC75 Star Cruises; during the Battle of Scarif, the Profundity's turbolasers proved powerful enough for two Imperial-I class Star Destroyers to engage the ship directly )
Speed: Subsonic+ atmospheric speed (975+ km/hr). Can accelerate continuously to Sub-Relativistic speeds in space. Massively FTL+ travel via hyperspace (Equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive. Twice as fast as Class 2 hyperdrive equipped vessels and capable of covering tens of thousands of light-years in a matter of several hours. During the liberation of Kashyyyk, the Home One managed to travel from Chandrila in the Core to Kashyyyk in the Mid Rim seemingly over the passage of one night on Kashyyyk)
Durability: City level+ (These ships are known to be extremely resilient. Should be overall at least as durable as the likes of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer). Island level with deflector shields (More powerful than the MC75 Star Cruiser; the Temperance survived fire from all weapons systems of the Overseer, a refitted Imperial-II. Capable of withstanding a sustained barrage from the turbolaser batteries of a Star Destroyer)
Range: Hundreds to thousands of kilometres with various armaments.
Weaknesses:
* Lack of dedicated rapid fire point defence laser cannons and reliance on more inaccurate and slower firing heavy ion cannons means these vessels must rely on a complement of multi-role medium starfighters or light interceptors for defence against enemy fighters.
* The bellies and repulsor engines of these ships seemingly suffer from a lack of defensive weapons coverage. This necessitates leaving protection on these sides in the hands of their fighter complements.
