STRENGTHS

A STRONG OFFENSE IS A GOOD DEFENSE: She's got some guns on her, but the Aegis' strength is in her defensive systems and ability to draw fire, getting "deep into the mix". She sports a reinforced hull covered in a thick carapace of armor plating and further protected by extensive shielding, making them fairly durable on the battlefield.

​

WEAKNESSES

TURNS ON A D... NO WAIT THAT'S NOT RIGHT: When your primary design is to draw fire and keep drawing it on you, you have to give up speed and maneuverability. Her priorities are in passive defense in the form of heavy armor plating and redundant shielding over agility, making it capable of being outmaneuvered.

DESCRIPTION

The MC40A Light Cruiser, also referred to simply as the MC40a cruiser or MC40a, was a class of light cruiser that was manufactured by Mon Calamari Shipyards. Between 500 to 600 meters in length, the MC40a was similar to the MC80A Star Cruiser in both design and function, and the MC40a's clamshell-like keel was the same as the MC30C Frigate but was instead built to be a well-rounded and versatile vessel. The MC40a was equipped with a class 1 primary and a class 15 backup hyperdrive, as well as long-range sensors, a navigation computer, and had room for consumables for two years. Despite its size, the MC40a was outfitted with exceptionally strong deflector shield generators but its speed was considered below-average for its class and it was outpaced by other vessels. To compensate, the MC40a was equipped with a robust series of redundant systems for protection against system failures during combat and stressful maneuvers and was able to sustain a large amount of damage. It was armed with fourteen turret-mounted medium turbolasers that were evenly distributed to the port and starboard sides of the hull, two forward-mounted concussion missile launchers, and eighteen medium ion cannons. Four of these ion cannons were on the aft, another four on the bow, and the five were each placed on the port and starboard. [SUP]The MC400a is newer, and bigger, but takes much of the same mentality of the previous models and makes it not only comparable, but stronger in this period of time. With the cooperation of newly hired Mon Calamari designers, this is the first of hopefully many new designs for Guardian Authority Ltd. [/SUP] [SUP]The MC400a is designed to give a lot and take a lot more. She is set up to move forward and focus on incoming fire hitting them first, enabling others to target its attackers. [/SUP]
