## Combat Description

### Player Evaluation

Gial Ackbar is one of, if not the, most powerful hero and ship in the Rebel Alliance arsenal. His extremely powerful shields and hulls allows him to take on large fleets on his own, and he can withstand any ship one-on-one from any faction with the sole exception of the Executor. Like most Mon Cala ships, he has no shield hardpoints, forcing enemies to whittle down his shield the conventional way, which will take a while due to the massive shield pool at his disposal and his Power to Shields ability. He has three engine hardpoints, unlike most other Mon Cal ships, which means that as long as he is not hit with ion cannons or trapped by Interdiction, he can successfully retreat with very little health. His thick armor and large health pool makes it difficult to take him down, and a large fleet will be needed to successfully eliminate him. His production ability also allows the player to produce capital ships and B-Wing Squadrons cheaper, giving the player a whole fleet quickly and cheaply.

As far as weaponry, he possesses one of the most powerful arsenals in the Rebel Fleet. Despite only having 8 Medium two burst Dual Turbo Laser Batteries and 6 Medium LR Two burst Dual Turbo Ioncannons, these weapons put out incredible damage and can rapidly destroy an Imperial Star Destroyer. His Ion Cannon Batteries also allows shields to be dropped quickly, giving Ackbar even more destructive potential.

All of this firepower comes at a price, however. His large frame and slow speed prevent him from outrunning enemy ships if he needs to escape. Along with that, he has a pretty poor fighter complement for a ship of his size, and the lack of true anti-fighter weapons means enemy fighters and bombers will become his main enemy. Without proper protection, he will be a sitting duck to enemy bombing runs. Finally, while he is able to soak up tons of damage, he is not invincible, and if the enemy has a large fleet that can focus their fire on him, he won't be able to survive for too long.

Now, as long as you complete the Mon Cal negotiations and get to warship tech 3, you can construct other mc80 Independences.

## Acquisition

Admiral Ackbar can be obtained by completing the Rebel Story Mission *Mon Calamari Buffer Zone,* which appears to the player several weeks after the beginning of the game. This mission requires several planets to be captured and held by the player to act as a buffer to Mon Calamari. These planets are:

* Jabiim
* Yavin IV
* Rhen Var
* Felucia
* Raxus Prime
* Korriban
* Telos
* Saleucami
* The Wheel
* Roche

Once all of these planets are controlled by the player, Ackbar will appear in orbit above Mon Calamari for the player to control.

## Lore Description

Gial Ackbar began his military career as a captain of the Mon Calamari Guard, fighting during the Battle of Mon Cala during the Clone Wars, helping the young Prince Lee-Char ascend to King of Mon Cala and repelling the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the rise of the Galactic Empire, Ackbar led a successful rebellion against the Empire on Mon Cala, before assuming the role of Admiral in the Alliance to Restore the Republic. His presence attracted the support of the Mon Cala to the Rebellion, which supplied a number of Mon Calamari Star Cruisers that would soon make up the bulk of the Rebel Fleet. From his command ship, *Home One*, Ackbar famously lead the Alliance in the Battle of Endor, in which the Alliance successfully mounted an all-out assault which lead to the destruction of the second Death Star and the deaths of both Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, thus beginning the end of the Galactic Empire's reign of terror in the galaxy. After the Battle of Endor he continued to serve as an admiral, later within the New Republic. He held the distinction of having been the Supreme Commander of the New Republic Defense Force for nearly two decades and defeating two Imperial Grand Admirals, Osvald Teshik and Peccati Syn, along with numerous other threats.
