Although the
Rebel Alliance poses no threat to the mighty Imperial Star Fleet, an
increasing number of powerful ships are falling into their hands.
Initially the Rebels only possessed a limited number of smaller capital
ships, but our intelligence reports show that some very powerful warships,
and even some large cruisers can be found in the Rebel fleets.

The Corellian Corvette is one of the oldest ships still in
use by the Alliance. Based on old Republic models, they have been
since modified and upgraded for use as couriers and escort craft.
Although not large enough to fend off any Imperial ships, they are
quite effective at protecting convoys from fighter attacks and
raiders. When used in numbers, they can easily overpower and
surround a larger ship due to their speed and relative
maneuverability. Currently the Rebels employ these ships as escorts
for their medical ships, and as personal transports for important
Rebel traitors. |

When
designed the Nebulon-B was one of the most powerful mid-size vessels
in the galaxy. Their awkward appearance belies their thick armor and
concentrated firepower. 18 turbolaser batteries vaporize any smaller
ships and do a great deal of damage to larger capital vessels. In
addition, the two fighter squadrons normally carried provide
additional firepower. The Nebulon-B frigates were once the vessel of
choice for protecting Imperial convoys. Since that time they have
been gradually phased out in favour of the newer and faster Lancer
class vessels. Apparently some of the crews on board these ships
have turned traitor and defected to the Alliance taking their
Nebulon-Bs with them. The Rebels have made good use of these
mid-sized capital ships. They serve as command ships in smaller
forces, and as front line attack ships in larger formations. Several
have even been modified to serve as medical frigates. Their heavy
armament and defenses make them ideally suited for the task of
protecting and transporting the wounded. |

The
Mon Calamari Light cruiser represents the first contribution of the
hated Mon Calamari to the fleets of the Rebel Alliance. These ships
were once huge spaceliners, among the finest in the galacy. After
Mon Calamari was taken over and occupied by Rebel forces the Mon
Calamari quickly converted all of their old starliners into
warships. Since then these cruisers have become the backbone of the
Rebel fleet. Even though they were once passenger liners, the Rebels
have turned them into impressive and intimidating warships. The 28
turbolasers they carry and 3 squadrons of fighters certainly woule
make smaller vessels think twice before attacking. The converted Mon
Calamari cruisers gave the Rebels something they had previously
lacked, large capital warships. |

By
far, the MC-80 class cruisers represent the largest threat the
Rebels have ever created to the Imperial Navy. The Rebels, and their
aquatic, traitor friends the Mon Calamari have constructed these
powerful warships. Nearly the size of a Star Destroyer they are
heavily shielded, armed and even carry 4 squadrons of Rebel
starfighters. The MC-80 is also among the fastest of all capital
ships and is capable of outrunning even a Star Destroyer. It is
currently unknown how many of these behemoths the Rebels have
manufactured. To date, a total of 11 such vessels have been seen in
battle, but it would appear that the Rebels are conserving these
ships for some sort of massive operation. Despite their size and
power they are still no match for the dreaded Imperial Navy.

This
mammoth vessel is the largest warship in the Rebel fleet. At over 3
km in length, it is many times more massive than even the huge Mon
Calamari cruisers. Home 1 serves as a mobile command base for the
Rebellion, and forms the nucleus of the growing Rebel fleet. With
its large number of turbolasers and 10 fighter squadrons, Home 1 is
the only ship in the Rebel fleet that could go one on one with an
Imperial Star Destroyer and win. Fortunately for Imperial
Commanders, Home 1 would be virtually impossible for the Rebels to
replace if lost in combat, thus the Rebels prudently keep the
location of this ship a secret and Home 1 rarely ever engages
Imperial ships in combat.
