- "A time will come, decades from now, when the ships of the Mon Calamari are at the forefront of a great rebellion. And then, again, decades after that. Your people's vessels will be a symbol of freedom and defiance across the galaxy. And it all started here, Your Majesty. With you."
- ―Ferren Barr, to King Lee-Char during the occupation of Mon Cala
The MC80 star cruisers, more commonly known as Mon Calamari star cruisers or Mon Cal star cruisers, were capital ships used by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. These immense vessels were a startling contrast to the dagger-shaped Imperial-class Star Destroyers, which were favored by the Imperial Fleet. Whereas the Imperial warship resembled a pointed dagger in shape, a Mon Calamari cruiser lacked hard angles and was covered with ovoid forms suggesting an organic sculpture. Each cruiser was of a unique design.[1] Despite their smooth lines, these vessels were heavily armed with dozens of turbolasers, ion cannons, tractor beam projectors and shield generators.[2] Several of these warships participated in the decisive Battle of Endor, including the Home One.
