MC80 Liberty Type Heavy Star Cruiser

The MC80 Liberty Type Heavy Star Cruiser, alternatively identified as the MC80 Liberty cruiser or as the Liberty-class cruiser, was a model of combat retrofitted MC80 Star Cruiser of the Mon Calamari that was used by the Mon Cala planetary defense services, the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and the New Republic. Originally civilian vessels designed for luxury pleasure cruises and long-range exploration, the ships were converted into Heavy Star Cruisers that went on to participate in multiple battles throughout the Galactic Civil War, including a battle at Fostar Haven, the Battle of Endor, the Battle of Theed, and the Battle of Jakku.

MC80 Liberty cruisers were considered the standard MC80 model, of which there were two main types. The other model was the more heavily armed and armored MC80A Home One Type Heavy Star Cruiser, which were precious to the fledgling Rebel Alliance Navy. Additionally, another type of Mon Calamari Cruiser was nearly identical to the MC80 Liberty cruiser, except for its lack of port and starboard wings. Several examples of the MC80 Liberty cruiser was the Liberty, the Freedom's Dawn, the Invincible Faith, and the Restoration.
