The Mon Calamari Light Star Cruiser is a smaller version of the MC-80. It was originally designed as an exploration vessel for the Mon Cals. After they joined the Rebel Alliance, they were converted to warships. All Mon Cal Cruisers are differently designed. This is because the Mon Cal consider these ships works of art. While most of the crewmembers are of various species, the command crew is almost always made up of Mon Calamari, because the holo-displays and vital information are projected on a spectrum easy for Mon Calamari to see, but to Humans, it appears fuzzy and distorted. The Mon Calamari are also cool-headed in pressure situations, which helps greatly to the fighting ability of these craft. They usually have two squadrons of starfighters, one of Y-wings and another of X-wings, but it depends when the game is taking place.

The Empire had taken a few of these vessels during their attempted occupation of Calamari. They were sold to different loyal corporations to be used as luxury liners. Some of them were taken by pirates and some planetary governments. It would be a pity if the Empire would hire them to go to a Rebel supply base and attack it just as it went into orbit...
