The Emancipator
The Emancipator was the first joint venture by Mon Calamari starship designers
and an outside corporation. After the Black Fleet Crisis, the New Republic
realized just how close they came to taking extremely heavy losses due to
insufficient firepower. After tearing a part the only Super Star Destroyer
they acquired from the Empire and turning it into a museum more or less, the
Republic was left at a serious disadvantage against the massive fleet of the
genocidal Duskhan League.
The New Republic military budget didn't have the funds to spend on contracting
Kuat Drive Yards to construct any new Executor-class warships to serve as
command vessels for the New Republic Navy so they took the cheaper alternative,
designing their own smaller and cheaper vessel.
The Emancipator left the construction yards above Calamari nearly three
years later to serve as the command ship of the Fifth Fleet, but not the
flagship of the New Republic Navy (Navy Command worried about it being seen
as a sign of aggressive power if it were showed off too much).
The Emancipator was essentially a massive floating combat platform, equipped
with the most advanced weaponry in the New Republic's arsenal and carrying
a complement of twelve starfighter squadrons (composed mainly of the new
E-wings and K-wings) as well as enough ground forces to mount a small
planetary assault.
