  • The MC40a Light Cruiser was a Mon Calamari ship that was able to capture Imperial ships more than twice its size, act like a damage sponge in Rebel Fleets, and lead Rebel Spec Ops groups in both ship to ship missions, but also against space stations and planetary targets. See a Star Wars ships size comparison and stats breakdown, and history of the MC40a Light Cruiser.

      @redshirt0479 3 роки тому +17

      Starfleet, not UFP. Common point of confusion though it is like mixing up the US Navy with the US Government.
      I think it might be intentional given how, at least in Legends where the symbol came from, the Mon Calamari are described as "Soft spoken and gentle with a passion to explore and seek out new civilizations" and are very famous for their engineering/scientific prowess in both canon and legends.
      Sort of a fun nod like how Alderaan and Dagobah show up in itineraries and maps in Trek.

    One of my favorite Rebel missions in X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter was one where you had to cover an MC40A from an ISD until it could jump into hyperspace. It's a tough mission, but that light cruiser was just tough as nails and holds up pretty well. I've loved the MC40A ever since.

    In the free Star Wars mod for X4 Foundation game by Egosoft, called "Interworlds", MC-40A light cruiser is represented in two different configurations: standard (called "carrier" for some reason) and torpedo one. Beautiful external model and great fun to fly this spaceship. It can bear a lot of beating, indeed

And there skin can handle rapid temperature and pressure fluctuations..... so when he was blown into space in the last jedi. he WOULD logically survive longer in space than humans. And potentially been able to be saved with little injury
