Utilizing the Drydocks of the Foerost Shipyards, the MC25a Tidesage - Class Gunship was the first of many warships that would be produced by the Free Dac Engineering Corps, and their various affiliated Corporate Cousins. While many Mon Calamari vessels in the past were converted from Civilian craft, somewhere along the line the many people of Dac began creating legitimate warships to not only defend their world but the various iterations of the Republic thereafter. The Tidesage - Class Gunship was a continuation of that newfound direction and would blend various technologies from several outside sources - creating something entirely new for the modern era.
While the Gunship was designed to work in concert with other warships of its kind, the Tidesage was capable of operating on its own - thanks in part to the economic spread and versatile nature of its outfitted armament. With the overlapping fields of fire and variable engagement zones, the Tidesage was capable of taking on several targets at once - and bringing more than its fair share of firepower to boot. Coupling that functionality with the integrated and comprehensive list of defensive systems, the Tidesage would be an advanced and capable warship that could dominate the spatial battlefield.
When it comes to the internal systems, the Tidesage finds itself blessed with innumerable systems that complement one another, and allow for the smooth operation of the Gunship in both times of Peace and War.
