The MC80a Calamari Cruiser, sometimes called Mon Calamari Star Cruiser or Mon Calamari Cruiser was the backbone of the Rebel Alliance Fleet. It was a heavy starship and exceptionally durable. It could carry a complement of up to three starfighter squadrons. They were armed with turbolasers, ion cannons, tractor beams, and point-defense lasers. Mon Calamari's most skilled engineers also equipped these ships with unbelievable reproductive systems. This cruiser could almost run forever without having to re-arm or refuel.
The shields they had were also the most-advanced in the galaxy.

These unlike Imperial Star Destroyers, were immune to shield generator destruction, giving them a significant edge to Imperial Star Destroyers and various other frigates.
Weaknesses[]
Despite them being spectacular warships, they are totally vulnerable to any bomber attack. They were also not much of a match for some other ships like Aggressor-class Destroyers.
