DESCRIPTION
The MC-50a Corvette was initially designed to protect their larger city-ships from any raiders, but also served itself as a smaller city-ship. It was, along with the MC75 Star Cruiser, was one of the first ships to be converted to military use, being up-gunned with two heavy ion cannons, a pair of concussion missile launchers, and a pair of twin light turbolaser cannons. They tended to be used in a much more defensive role than most craft, used to act like bodyguards to much larger Mon Calamari vessels, though by the time the Galactic Civil War ended not many were outfitted with the upgrades. After the New Republic was established, almost all of the rest of these craft were upgraded with the heavily armed military equipment, while many actually were produced in the military variant style.

For a Mon Calamari ship, it was rather well armed for its size and quite nippy. It was considered a rather decent craft being able to deal with many different opponents, thought it was mostly designed to deal with any kind of craft up to Cruiser size, though it can at least be useful when dealing with larger ships as long as other types of vessels are used to assist them. They are also quite flexible in the amount of roles they can take on; they can be used as larger capital ship protection, anti-starfighter craft, recon vessel, and many others. The only major flaw with this craft, at least initially, was just how exposed and far out from the craft the bridge was, so Mon Calamari engineers designed a second bridge built into the bottom as an auxiliary bridge.

The craft is larger than many average corvettes, being over 250 meters in length. But like many Mon Calamari vessels they are not well armed, but much like other craft from their manufacturer they are heavily armored. The engines were geared to be rather powerful for its size, able to at least keep up with larger vessels but in some cases able to even outpace them if required. Due to the amount of these vessels produced, they are relatively decently common throughout the galaxy with second-rate militarizes, defensive fleets, larger mercenary companies, and especially still with Mon Calamari fleets.

LEGALITY
Restricted. MC-50a Corvettes are classified as capital ships under Galactic law, and possess heavy weapons. As such, civilian owners will require extra licensing to operate one legally, and will receive increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT
To introduce a well rounded defensive Mon Calamari corvette into the site’s cannon.

RESTRICTIONS
MC-50a Corvettes are capital ships with powerful weapons, and capital ships cannot be owned or operated by individual characters. These vessels may be acquired as faction assets, or may be jointly owned by at least 4 player characters who work together regularly.
