Description
First new submission of 2019! For a lot of you, it's has been a rough 2018 and for me, a lot of things were just going on with my life involving money, art block, and more. I really don't want to get into it, but I hope that this new year, hopefully things will change. This ship design here is based off an old concept idea I had some years ago, and I didn't fully complete it or drawn it out fully for a while. It's only recently at the end of 2018 I finally started to color in and finishing this ship design. If you're a Star Wars nerd who loves the ships like many of us, you know that Mon Calamari ships have this organic design with smart ship building going on. In the new canon, we really don't know much of the Mon Calamari ships that came before the MC75 through MC85. But I have to assume that there are other ships that are out there we just haven't seen yet, so here's my take on what a possible M70A Star Cruiser might look like. And there might be a possibility that such ships like this one might have even served in the Clone Wars before the formation of the Empire or used by the Rebel Alliance. Who's to say, we just really don't know what other ships are out there in the new Star Wars canon.
The MC70A Star Cruiser was an older starship line that was introduced by the Mon Calamari a few years before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Unlike most ships, it was built(at the time) with advance heavy missile launchers and advanced shielding unlike other Republic ships. Ships of this line included the Heart of Valor, Hand of Salvation, Eye of Wisdom, Defiance, Reliant, Independence, Vanguard, and Valiant. These ships served during the Clone Wars in the Outer Rim Territories by hired mercenaries and Republic loyal Mon Calamari. But by the end of the Clone Wars with the formation of the Galactic Empire, many of these ships were either destroyed or found in the hands of early rebel cells. By the Battle of Yavin, dozens of these ships were left in service of the Rebel Alliance. But they were a very useful and highly fast warship that were ideal in stealth missions and raiding campaigns against the Empire. By the end of the Galactic Civil War, following the Battle of Jakku, only five MC75 Star Cruiser's were left in service of the New Republic, leaving their final fate unknown.

I know it's just that the design looks a lot like the steamrunner-class or the akira-class from Star Trek are you in the Titan class

To be honest, the design started out as a battlestar which was part of a dropped idea I had many years ago.
