I know this is a WC forum, not an SW one, but you guys seem to be the best source of info for specifics, but Im trying to figure something out and Im having trouble.
Mon Calamari cruisers were instramental in the success of the rebellion, in the movies we see two different ones, in some games, i've seen three. In the game Star Wars X-Wing Alliance i saw the light Calamari Cruiser which is built like a small carrier, two large hangars, and one medium engine on the back, though not present at the battle of Endor.
From what I've been able to gather, there were 4 Mon calamari cruisers present at Endor; Liberty (Winged), Maria (Winged), Independence (Home 1), and the Defiance (same design as home one).
The Liberty was the first one to fall. You see it explode when the Emperor orders the Death Star to open fire. The Defiance (which was separated from the main fleet with her escorts including the frigate Redemption and various transports and blockade runners) was destroyed next. As far as i know the others survived... though a few game and stories also say that a third ship the Urhani (an escort frigate) was also destroyed by the Death Star ray.
Now I know that no two Calamari cruisers are Identicle, but what is the difference between the Winged and the COmmand cruisers? Is one more heavily armed? Faster? Different purposes? Is one design older then the other? These are the questions I'm having trouble finding the answers too... if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it, thank you!
I've attached a pic of each, thanks!
