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?

Not sure. One of those with Isard in it IIRC.

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)?

Supposed MC90 NRS Galactic Voyager at Anoth (distinct Galactic Voyager-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.
