Hey there...

I haven't really got a background fleshed out for this vessel, other than this
vessel has been completed after several years after the Battle of Bilbringi,
from Timothy Zahn's Last Command.  Mind you, if you feel it's too powerful, I'd
like to know... but I'd also like you to also bear in mind that there is also
only ONE of these as a flagship for the ENTIRE New Republic, which, if I may
say, is quite large.

You may also be wondering why that there is only one crew member per weapon...
and a sort of unbalanced number of gunners.  I'm still working on making this
something I hope is useful in any campaign... I give the "one person per gun"
thing simply because it's easier, in reality for me to work things out during a
battle, instead of having five or six people per gun.  In game terms, I would
say that the Mon Calamari have been experimenting with advanced automation
systems and "unique" targetting computers.
