Vortex Wind

Vortex Wind was a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser in service to the Galactic Alliance. This powerful warship was part of a task force commanded by Wedge Antilles during the latter part of the Yuuzhan Vong War, in conjunction with Operation Trinity. Along with the Star Destroyer Mon Mothma, Vortex Wind destroyed a Yuuzhan Vong warship. She survived the battle.
The ship may have been named for the planet Vortex, a member world of the New Republic.
==Behind the scenes==
The exact class of the Vortex Wind is not clear. The term heavy Mon Cal cruiser is used to describe it, causing some fans to speculate that it may be a newer class of cruiser. Other fans maintain that it is just the standard variant of Mon Calamari cruiser in use at the time, like the MC90 Star Cruiser or Mediator-class battle cruiser. It should also be noted that Mon Calamari cruisers have been described in the EU by many different classifications, ranging from frigate to battle cruiser.
