This cruiser was a class of Mon Calamari starship. During the Imperial Era, the Mon Calamari monarchy's trade fleet was commandeered by the Galactic Empire and designated as the Mon Cala Imperial Trade Fleet, which contained at least one of these starships. After a recording of Mon Calamari King Lee-Char's final words before being killed by the Empire, the Mon Cala fleet, including one vessel of this class, mutinied, but was soon met by an Imperial fleet[1] led by Admiral Tyrus Meori.[2] The starship had at least fourteen engine units.[1]
Behind the scenes
The erroneous depiction of the Republic
This model of Mon Calamari starship first appeared in Star Wars (2015) 48, released in 2018 and was written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larroca.[1] In the comic Star Wars (2015) 54, the MC80A Home One Heavy Star Cruiser Republic was mistakenly depicted as a model of this ship in one panel.[3]
