Description: The MC30d Admonition-class is a Mon Calamari Shipyards built vessel based on the older MC30c variant. used for heavy escort and assault missions.
Design: The MC30d Admonition-class, like its predecessor, is designed around its warhead launching capabilities. Equipped with six large heavy torpedo launchers the class can deploy a variety of warheads for a multitude of mission profiles.
Unlike most Mon Calamari built warships, which are based around their defensive capabilities, the Admonition-class is built with superior speed and offensive armament in mind. While fast for its size and class, the heavier weapons and warhead payload make maneuvering thrusters less effective giving the class reduced handling in subspace.
Armament: The main armament of the Admonition-class are the six heavy MCS1020 Sea Hawk Heavy Torpedo Launchers. These launchers are fixed on the prow of the vessel and fire in the forward fire arc only. Two internal ordinance magazines house a variety of warheads for these launchers ranging from heavy anti-warship torpedoes to cluster anti-fighter ordinance.
Supporting these weapon systems are four MC-t1002 Orca-class Turbolaser Cannon Batteries which are positioned on the flanks of the vessel giving it full three hundred and sixty degrees of coverage. Each battery houses three dual turrets, one of which can cover the fore and aft fire arcs while all three can fire into the flank arc giving the vessel good broadside armament while maintaining fore and aft weapons coverage.
For additional support from light capital and attack craft, the Admonition-class is equipped with six Cluster Bomb Launchers which can fire anti-starfighter cluster bombs. These powerful bombs are fired out away from the vessel as a last defense against incoming attack craft. Unpowered and unguided these bombs, when deployed, explode some distance away from the vessel utilizing an explosive shanped charge which can damage incoming attack craft in its blast radius. Then the bomb expels magnetized grenades and shrapnel in the direction of incoming attack craft making them very effective against mass fighter and attack craft swarms.
Additional anti-projectile and Anti-attack craft duty was supported by two MC-d1001 Tarpon-class Heavy Defense Batteries. these batteries were equipped with an array of energy based short ranged point defense weapon systems designed to engage incoming projectile fighters and bombers as well as other larger attack craft and even corvettes at short range.
Rounding out the armament of the Admonition-class are four KD12-1 "Interceptor" Defensive Batteries which fire a variety of canisters for defensive and countermeasure duty. These systems fire up to four canisters at once or in series before needing to be reloaded. ordinance types include chaff, flak, and mine canisters as well as ionic charge canisters and plasma warheads.
Complement: A small hanger on the ventral hull can accommodate 2 shuttle craft for crew and supply transfer. Each shuttle is held in place by extendable docking arms which act as support for the craft as well as pressurized boarding umbilicus.
Personnel wise, the Admonition-class is manned by a crew of nine hundred personnel who carry out the day to day operations of the vessel. A small marine company contingent provide security and boarding defense when needed.
