The Solari is an MC80 Liberty type Star Cruiser serving as a flagship for Clan Odan-Urr's military forces. Positioned as a command ship within the Odanite Expeditionary Force, the vessel has spearheaded multiple engagements and held the line in various defensive actions since its accquesition. Pressed into service in 34 ABY, it was attained shortly after the Fall of New Tython and named after one of the elders killed during the withdrawl of that planet. Enduring throughout multiple changes within the fleet, it and the two MC40a light cruisers Remembrance of Seher and Rohlan's Vision serve as a symbol of the Clan's survival against all odds.
Characteristics
A common variant of the MC80 Star Cruiser line, the Liberty type was a more standardized version of the typically individually unique Mon Calamari built vessels. With a distinctive semi-conical swept-swing design ending in three clusters of powerful engines, the vessel's broad profile allows it to maintain heavy firepower from its forward arcs without compromising its effectiveness from other angles. The countless blisters that coat the ship's hull are covered in a variety of different systems, ranging from turbolaser cannons to deflector shield projectors, tractor beam projectors, and ion cannons.
While less heavily armed than Star Destroyer variants typically fielded by the Galactic Empire, the improved targeting systems on the MC80s weapons gave them far greater effectiveness. This allowed them to able to track and destroy fighters and smaller craft. Furthermore, advanced shielding technology accompanied by multiple redundant and backup systems gave the ships a far greater level of endurance during engagements. The nature of the various blisters prevented vital components from being so easily identified and targeted in battles, while the bridge was sunkern into the main hull toward the vessel's aft, denying fighters an exposed weak point.
The MC80 carried a standard compliment of 36 fighters in its hangers during campaigns, though this number could be further extended when required. This made the vessel an effective combat carrier, giving it a multi-role edge needed in engagements.
