Description The immediate successor to the Rebel Alliance Fleet's MC80, the MC90 star cruiser was the latest design to emerge from Dac's shipyards just after the fall of Grand Admiral Thrawn at the Battle of Bilbringi. As opposed to being converted from passenger liners and luxury cruisers like its predecessors, the MC90 line was engineered specifically for war: heavily-armored, bristling with anti-ship weaponry, and boasting larger, more powerful shield generators. It was also designed to operate with multi-species crews, with viewscreens and control system that could be optimized for non-Mon Calamari eyes, and climate-control that mitigated the high humidity of the previous vessels accustomed to its original designers. 

However, it wouldn't be until the return of a resurrected Emperor Palpatine, along with the evacuation and subsequent loss of Coruscant that the first MC90s would face off against their Imperial adversaries. Between the Battle of Pinnacle Base and onset of Operation Shadow Hand, these vessels would serve admirably, and often became the backbone of New Republic battlegroups or flagships of dedicated fleets. But they were increasingly rare and expensive to construct, and even the single loss of one of these ships was incalculable, as was the loss of the mostly-completed Star Tide at the Battle of Dac, sacrificed to destroy one of Natasi Daala's star destroyers. 

Admiral Ackbar himself was impressed with the MC90's strength and versatility, and often made use of them as his personal flagships, whether it was the Defiance or the Galactic Voyager, which would also become the flagship of Admiral Cha Niathal during the Confederation-Galactic Alliance War three decades later.

Nice to see that you give some love to the real Mon Calamari cruisers instead of hopping onto the "Leave the old behind" train of the sequels. More like "Throw all the potential and world building into the incinerator, we need to subvert expectations!" really.

There's still not a whole lot to build upon with the new canon. We might see more with Episode IX, but I'm just not that invested in it. I'd rather invest into the stuff that we didn't see fleshed out visually from the EU and focus on my own fan settings.

So true *nods sagely*

Hell, they haven't even figured out the looks of some of their ships, or how to design decent ships for that matter.

I've seen ships with more balanced stats and more weapons come out of GalCiv3's editor than that and there you can only put on at most 6 separate weapon parts! Think about THAT!

Reminds me of a blend between Mon Calamari and ISD -- only without an exposed bridge.

I wonder how much pinpoint accuracy their pilots have? Just to do what Holdo did with the Raddus and Han Solo did with Starkiller Base --

You realize hitting a 60k meter warship isn't exactly difficult, right? And why should they need to do that anyway since this is Legends continuity and there is no such thing as the Ridiculous-class Super Star Dreadnought.

Wait, what's that? It's called the "Mega-class Star Destroyer"? What kind of idiotic name is that? ... Oh wait, that's the same designers who think that bigger means better and that one of the main appeals of SW is it's many WW2 references so they just had to include Flying Fortress scenes and naval ramming from the Helenistic period. Not to mention that Carriers must have as little weaponry as possible without having a massive amount of star fighters, 50 or so hangar bays going all throughout the ship, or that it's ridiculous to put more than a dozen main guns on a ship because WW2 battleships never had that many big guns. And the good guys must especially never have firepower behind them unless the thing is fragile and slow enough that it could be shot down by a siege Dreadnought's equally sad Point-Defense system.

I did the math. If you're 1000km away from the Death Star and you're off by 3.43° from centre, you'll miss.

Plus the Supremacy is only 4km high. At that same distance you can't be more than 0.23° off course.

And that's what not only Astromechs are for, but a simple crosshairs can do it too. Not to mention that hitting the thing from any distance smaller than 1000km isn't out of the possible, especially since, and correct me if I'm wrong, it didn't look nearly that far away considering the Supremacy herself wasn't just only 60km wide, but also still visible.

Unless Holdo was actually near sighted and lost her glasses on her old command, that's not much. Also, sacrificing a Battlecruiser for such a stunt if you could've just told an Astromech to fly one of the smaller ships into the Supremacy with 100% accuracy and what was left of the fuel in it, it would've been the same general result because Kinetic Force is Mass Times Acceleration. Aka, anything going at the speed of light will be doing the same crap-ton of damage even if it's the Millenium Falcon doing it.

And it doesn't change the fact that the entire movie had only one theme: Subverting expectation and destroying everything that could've been used for another movie. Snoke? Dead. Luke? Dead. New Republic? Forget it. Chances of decent new designs? Dream on.

And the biggest joke is that the entire reason for that stupid scene with the Star Fortress bombers was so that the movie could imitate WW2 and that the maker thought that Y-Wings weren't as iconic as A-Wing and X-Wing. Not for it being a bad ship, not because it's over 50 years old at that point even though someone could've made a new model by that point, not even because it's less armed. It's because they didn't like the efficient speed-to-attack-to-defense ratings of the Y-Wing because they could've made that scene a lot less costly by using missiles rather than literal bombs.

Legends New Republic came up with some awesome ship designs.  If I ever do a rewrite of Episodes VII-IX (something I've been thinking about doing after RoS comes out) you can bet that this ship will feature prominently in the New Republic fleet (and no, they won't all get blown up by a superweapon before they actually do anything).

I guess the only two we haven't seen yet are the Mediator and first Viscount-class ships (from Vector Prime, not the 18.5 kilometer long monstrosity).
