Between the Battle of Pinnacle Base and onset of Operation Shadow Hand, these vessels would serve admirably, and often became the backbone of New Republic battlegroups or flagships of dedicated fleets.

However, it wouldn't be until the return of a resurrected Emperor Palpatine, along with the evacuation and subsequent loss of Coruscant that the first MC90s would face off against their Imperial adversaries. It was also designed to operate with multi-species crews, with viewscreens and control system that could be optimized for non-Mon Calamari eyes, and climate-control that mitigated the high humidity of the previous vessels accustomed to its original designers. As opposed to being converted from passenger liners and luxury cruisers like its predecessors, the MC90 line was engineered specifically for war: heavily-armored, bristling with anti-ship weaponry, and boasting larger, more powerful shield generators.

The immediate successor to the Rebel Alliance Fleet's MC80, the MC90 star cruiser was the latest design to emerge from Dac's shipyards just after the fall of Grand Admiral Thrawn at the Battle of Bilbringi.
