MC-95 Heavy Dreadnought

“She’s a beauty”

The MC-95 Heavy Dreadnought was a new model of heavy Mon Calamari cruiser designed specifically to counter the Galactic Empire’s Executor-class Dreadnought. It was first used in 65 ABY to eradicate an entire Imperial fleet with a few volleys of turbolaser fire.

Details
At 24 kilometers long, the MC-96 dwarfed the Executor-class Dreadnought by 5 kilometers and brought with it more firepower and starfighters than four Executors combined. These ships were slow to turn but had extremely well placed weapons that could fire 360 degrees when in a good spot. It’s fire arcs dominated even that of a Viscount Star defender.

History
The MC-95 Heavy Dreadnought was rarely used in combat because of the money and resources needed to produce just one ship. It first saw action in 65 ABY against three Executor-class Dreadnoughts and destroyed them all in a matter of minutes.

Production
The idea of the MC-95 was brought up by Admiral Lester Stanton of the Mon Calamari Defense Force in 61 ABY. The prototype was developed in 62 ABY and production finally started in 64 ABY.

Behind the scenes
This ship was originally a mix of an Executor-class dreadnought and Mon Calamari designs.
