Very low. You can barely acknowledge the existance of the Bulwark and the Dauntless by contrivance. The Liberator on the other hand is a novel ship also, referred to as a carrier-cruiser.
Really? What novel?
History? I love history! First, something happens, then, something else happens! It's so sequential!! Thank you first guy, for writing things down!

Not sure. One of those with Isard in it IIRC.
Star Trek vs. Star Wars, Extralife style.

Another interesting fact:

The MC90 either has two designs, or the Galactic Voyager has been misidentified as a MC90. Two distinct, mutually contradicting designs have been shown. The original MC90, which in art seems in-scale with 1.255 km claims, the Defiance in DE. Another vessel has been shown in the Jedi Academy Sourcebook as the Galactic Voyager. However, the Galactic Voyager weathered a concentrated assault by an Executor-class vessel and survived intact, even after intervention by a flotilla of Victory Star Destroyers. Keep in mind, the MC90's direct prodecessor and similar tonnage MC80B was wholely outmatched and damaged by a fleeing and possibly dilapidated Executor-class, the Iron Fist. Is it possible the Galactic Voyager is part of distinct class, speculatively speaking, maybe a pure-combat evolution of the Home One's class analogous to the MC90 evolution from the original MC80 (ie., the Liberty-class)?

Thanks to Dr. Curtis Saxton, Ph.D., for first noticing the discontinuity in MC90 design depiction, and hosting the images linked above themselves.

Perhaps the GV was a normal MC-90 that took lots of damage and was completely rebuilt. Sort of like the Emancipator had (IIRC) double the armament of a standard ISD.

Emancipater and Liberator had normal ISD armament, plus 6 torpedo launchers, and less any trench notches and guns.


While examining the artwork, I notice that there is a Nebulon frigate transmitting "We Copy Emancipator, torpedoes on the mark!" Possibly a refiit for that frigate also.
