Relations: Mon Calamari Shipyards | |
The MC30c frigate was a class of Mon Calamari-designed warship, utilized by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. Considered one of the most powerful mid-level frigates used in the war, the MC30c frigates utilized proton torpedoes as well as turbolaser batteries to bombard larger enemy starships in combat. In addition to this, it was also one of the fastest ships of its type. The greatest weakness of the ship was that it had very light armor. If heavy fire was concentrated on the frigate, it would most likely be destroyed. It was also common for these vessels to utilize cluster bombs that could damage enemy targets around the ship. The cluster bombs were intended as a last defense against fighters and bombers. These proved very effective against clusters of such vessels; though once the bombs were depleted the MC30c frigate the only real defense against star fighters were its laser cannons which could quickly destroy starfighters but if bombers were close enough to it the ship could be easily destroyed due to its limited armor. The shield generator of the ship, like other Mon Calamari craft, was hidden within the superstructure and therefore harder to destroy. This allowed the shields to regenerate at a continuous rate, even if the weapons systems suffered damage. A characterization of the frigate would be as a fast light armored capital ship killer and a star fighter destroyer. Read more... |
