MC75 Star Cruiser

thingiverse

The MC75 Star Cruiser, or MC75 modified Star Cruiser, was formerly a Mon Calamari city-ship repurposed into a war cruiser by the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The massive vessel stood at an impressive 1,204.44 meters in length and was powered by twelve Kuat Drive Yards Gemon-15 sublight ion drives reconfigured to match the cruising speed of starfighter escorts. These sublight drives were discreetly positioned beneath the engineering plane of the heat-dissipating engineering structure. Refits conducted at deep-space facilities equipped these cruisers with reinforced battleship hulls and a weapon collar modification holding primary weapons and shield generators. The armored forward hull made the ship's concealed deflector shield generators redundant, though a deflector shield emitter array was installed on the aft section. The MC75 featured twenty point-defense laser cannons, twelve broadside turbolasers, four heavy ion cannons, twelve proton torpedo launchers, and six tractor beam projectors concealed within a port forward of the weapon collar. An armored outrigger fin on the ventral hull housed the command bridge pod and receiver array, opposite a dorsal communications transmission mast and sensor cluster. These blade-like fins, combined with the vessel's tapered profile, were design choices intended to trigger primal fears of predatory fish among the aquatic Mon Calamari. Next to the rear of the ventral outrigger fin was an ordnance pod. The city-ship's former civic atrium was hollowed out and converted into a docking bay and starship service area, overseen by a hangar traffic control suite protected by overlapping shields and magnetic containment fields regulating oxygen and pressure. At least two variants existed within the ship class, including the MC75 Armored Cruiser and the MC75 Ordnance Cruiser.
