The exact designation and specifications of this vessel are still matters of speculation, since the frequent appearances of Mon Cal Cruisers in books, games, films, and supplemental materials are rarely consistent.

The Liberty from the starboard aft quarter.īecause of her frequent appearances in video games (such as Azzameen's headquarters), the Liberty is one of the more commonly known Mon Calamari Cruisers. The Liberty was lost during the battle, gaining the dubious distinction of being the first ship destroyed by the new Death Star's superlaser. įollowing the discovery of the second Death Star, the Liberty was recalled to the main Alliance fleet in preparation for the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. Azzameen was famous for flying in the strike team responsible for the capture of the shuttle Tydirium and was possibly part of Lando Calrissian's crew-possibly a gunner-on the Millennium Falcon during the battle. Rebel pilot Ace Azzameen served aboard the cruiser for much of the period leading up to the Battle of Endor. It also participated in the recovery of Imperial defector Commander Zaletta, who played a key role in acquiring the second Death Star plans, and later served as the Liberty 's tactical officer. The Liberty became a famous Rebel warship during its service in the Airam sector, wherein, with Rogue Squadron aboard, it assisted in the destruction of the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Vengeance, suffering heavy damage in the process. At some point, it also was instrumental in setting up a mutual cargo-retrieval operation with Dunari as well as destroying a pirate group, the Hurrim. At this stage, her Tactical Officer was Commander Kupalo, an Imperial double-agent. Operating alone, it uncovered details about a series of Imperial experimental starfighters and proceeded to shut the TIE Experimental Project down. The Liberty is destroyed by the second Death Star's superlaser.
