Alliance Battlestar

The first of these mysterious ships was found derelict and wrecked decades ago. It was salvaged as space junk and debris, dragged by remote drones to within the hidden Hell system. Its initial origins are unknown and still remain a mystery to this day. Years ago, after stumbling across the wreckage of the craft, a young Commander Doyle ordered the computerized battle station, DEE, to begin repairs on the massive craft and to obtain the plans to design more.


 * Three years after the introduction of the HellHawk and the previous devastating attack on Calamari, the Imperials once again attacked the mighty and proud waterworld which continually chose to defy them. The Empire's new Imperial-V star destroyers completely outclassed the smaller Calamari cruisers at the Alliance shipyard, and even destroyed the mighty Mon Cal star defender protecting its ravaged homeworld. It looked like the peaceful Mon Calamari would once again be brought into slavery.

Fortunately, when the Supreme Admiral received the distress call from Calamari, he knew the overhaul of the original battlestar was near compeletion, and immediately went to retrieve it. The craft, dubbed the HellStorm, was repaired by then, but its new crew had to learn the new vessel on route to Calamari. Eventually, with the arrival of the HellStorm and the Super Survivor HellHawk, the Fourth Battle of Calamari was won as the warship managed to turn the tide against the Imperium's assault.


 * The battlestars are not just bigger than the original Mon Calamari cruisers, they carry the firepower to match it, with almost twice as many turbolasers and ions than the older MC-90's. Along with 9 squadrons of starfighter support and a full legion of commandos - complete with assault craft and ablative heat shields for orbital drops, walkers, and ground assault craft.

While the battlestars are quite costly and time consuming to build, they have taken the role as the elite within the Alliance Navy, usually serving as the command ship for the fleet's Admiral, controlling the attack while still remaining heavily defended and protected.


 * A typical battlestar carrBattlestar.jpeg combat craft, shuttles, repair and recovery vehicles, landing barges, drop ships, ground assault vehicles, and two prefabricated garrison bases for immediate deployment. The battlestars also contain unique hanger bays and launch tubes which allow the Viper starfighters a quicker launch and deployment rate than any standard fighter in a normal hanger bay.

These vessels were designed as weapons of war, and any enemies who fall upon these massive warships beware.
