Mon Calamari Shipyards

Mon Calamari Shipyards was a shipwright company that manufactured numerous models of space transports and warships. The company operated the eponymous, thousand-years old Mon Calamari Shipyards orbiting the planet Dac as well as other smaller shipyards in the Calamari sector. Mon Calamari Shipyards was renowned for its elegant, streamlined ship designs, characterized by bespoke production, unique engineering, and a sculpted, organic hullform. Though originally focused on exploration vessels and luxury liners, Mon Calamari designs emphasized powerful defenses.

When Dac joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War, Mon Calamari Shipyards became the only shipwright to openly support the Rebellion and became its main source of new warships. The company and its shipyards got known for their advanced and powerful capital warships, in particular their Star Cruiser. Mon Calamari Shipyards became one of the largest starship manufacturer of the galaxy during the era of the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance. However, the success of the shipwright eventually caused its downfall. The company and its shipyards were seized by the new Galactic Empire after the Sith–Imperial War. During the Second Imperial Civil War, the Mon Calamari Orbital Shipyards were closed by the Empire and its owners were exterminated along with the entire population of Dac.
