DESCRIPTION |
As the Galaxy continues to spiral into one war after another with the most recent engagements being the Alliance-Enclave War, the Mandalorian-Sith Skirmishes, the Sith Empire Campaigns leading up to 900 ABY to 902 ABY. The Galactic Alliance is surrounded on all sides by foreign powers looking to carve up its territories and has issued one mobilization after another in the hopes of containing the spread of darkness throughout the galaxy. In response to this mobilization effort, the BSD MC87 Heavy Star Cruiser was designed and produced by Byblos Star Drives as part of the Galactic Alliance 8th Generation Modernization Initiative which is designed to slowly upgrade the arsenal of the Alliance Fleet with a wide range of new cruisers, battlecruisers, and frigate classes in order to maintain their hegemony on the galactic frontier. Having witnessed the introduction of the Imperial Erebus-Class Sith Battlecruiser during the Blockade over Onderon, the Alliance Naval Engineering Core began constructing the MC87 in response as a powerful battlecruiser more than able to tussle with even the largest of Imperial Destroyers in a direct confrontation. Its large size and weapon strength make it suitable to patrol the galactic hyperspace lanes. Coming in at around 5,000 Meters - the MC87 Heavy Star Cruiser is equipped with extreme layers of shielding and very heavy armored plating spread across its more vulnerable area and is filled to the brim with weaponry ranging from heavy turbolaser batteries to missile launchers. Although like all vessels introduced during the Modernization Program, their is enough hanger space for 26 starfighters and 2 support craft squadrons. |
