Part four of the series, see earlier parts for an explanation of my generic thought processes on the categories I include.

Star Destroyers:

• MC80a Home One type-class Star Cruiser
  • A converted civilian ship, the Home One-type was armed and armoured by rebel engineers in secret shipyards after being donated from the Mon Calamari civilian navy. They can carry 144 Starfighters of various models, as well as 12 X4 gunships, and have a respectable heavy weapons load out.
• MC80a Liberty type-class Star Cruiser
  • Converted civilian ship, armed by rebel engineers after being donated from the Mon Calamari. The Liberty is slightly smaller than the Home One type, and this is reflected in its stats, but is present in sightly larger numbers. They carry 72 Starfighters of various models, two Rebel Wings
• MC80b-class Star Cruiser
  • The MC80b is the first purpose-built star destroyer sized warships, being built by Mon Cala Shipyards just before the Battle of Endor. They were first deployed in the Perlemian Campaign as a distraction from the massing fleet preparing to assault the Second Death Star. Available in limited numbers and combat theatres. They have a focus on anti-capital warfare, capable of engaging ISD’s on an equal footing. A complement of 72 Starfighters and 6 X4 gunships serve to support this.

Heavy Cruisers:

• MC75-class Star Cruiser
  • Converted civilian ships, armed by rebel engineers after being donated from Mon Cala. They have 36 starfighters, and whilst they aren’t as well armed as the MC80s they still feature impressive shielding.
• Victory-class Star Destroyer
  • Slow sublight speeds in comparison to other ships of the same size, but have a powerful array of anti-capital weaponry. A number of these vessels were captured or stolen by Alliance forces in the early stage of the war, raiding Rendili Stardrive shipyards in the outer rim with the assistance of double agents working in them. They can carry 24 Starfighters.
• Acclamator-class Assault Ships
  •  Acclamators were procured from both scrap-yards and frontier security forces. They have a respectable array of anti-capital weapons but are not primarily a combat ship. They can hold 36 Starfighters, and are surprisingly tough.
• Dauntless-class Heavy Cruiser
  • Donated from planetary security fleets, but also some directly given by their manufacturer SoroSuub Corporation after it defects from the Empire to the Alliance. Powerful brawling warships, can carry 48 Starfighters. Guns are short-ranged though, the ships have to get in close to deal maximum damage.
• Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser
  • Inherited from Planetary Security Forces all across the galaxy. A Rendili product. Tough and decently armed, but slow and with a very high crew requirement. Some of them are modified to reduce this number, whilst others are modified more aggressively into the Assault Frigate Mark 1. They can carry 12 starfighters.
• Assault Frigate Mark 2
  • Built by Rebel sympathisers at Rendili Stardrive as an evolution of the Mark 1 idea. Tough and well armed, but also agile and with a vastly reduced crew. However do not carry any starfighters.

Cruisers:

• Assault Frigate Mark 1
  • A rebuilding of the Dreadnought-class Heavy Cruiser to make it faster and more crew-efficient. Sacrifices some armour and weaponry though. Still, overall a marked improvement.
• Strike-class Medium Cruiser
  • Bought from Loronar Corporation. Moderately sized cruiser, with an excellent weapons package and the options to be remodelled from its space superiority role into either a garrison package or planetary assault. Loronar profit greatly from selling this ship to both sides of the war. Can carry 36 Starfighters in its space-superiority form, and 12 in the garrison and ground-assault forms.
• Liberator-class Cruiser
  • Donated by SoroSuub Corporation. Advanced cutting-edge cruisers, they’re often chosen to be command ships for small task forces even when larger warships are present. Very wide and flat vessels, carry 60 Starfighters and 6 X4 gunships.
• MC40a-class Light Cruiser
  • Inherited from Mon Cala’s planetary security fleet after its defection to the Empire. A respectable warship, a favourite of Alliance special forces. They carry 12 starfighters as well as a number of shuttles.
• Carrack-class Light Cruiser
  • Inherited from planetary security fleets. Well armed for their size. Damorian Manufacturing Corporation product.
• Quasar Fire II-class Cruiser-Carrier
  • SoroSuub production. Alliance forces acquire them through a mixture of theft from the Empire and later legitimate purchases and donations from SoroSuub. They can carry 48 Starfighters each but are not meant to sit on front lines, instead hanging back out of range of enemy turbolasers.

Frigates:

• Nebulon B-class Frigate
  • Stolen from the Empire. In stock form they come with armour plating but many rebel cells strip them of this for ease of maintenance. Their hangers are designed explicitly for TIE fighters, so in rebel hands can only carry a single squadron of Starfighters. Good frontal armament but vulnerable from other directions. Laser cannon coverage is good though.
• MC30c-class Frigate
  • Inherited from Mon Cala’s planetary security fleet. Attack frigates, meant for diving through enemy lines and dealing heavy damage with its proton torpedos. Vulnerable when the shields are down though.
• CC-9600-class frigate
  • A CEC frigate design that can serve as both ship-of-the-line and an in-atmosphere troop transport to deploy forces to the ground after breaking through a blockade.
• Pelta-class Assault Ship
  • Built for the Republic Judicial Forces, and then employed for the GAR during the Clone Wars. Used in every role imaginable. Many of them left over after this conflict and bought up by PSF’s who later give them to Rebel cells.

Corvettes:

• Marauder-class Corvettes
  • Bought from the Corporate Sector Authority. Large, nearly 200m long. Respectable warships, punch above their weight. Long range firepower Can carry 12 Starfighters
• DP20-class Gunships
  • Militarised corvette built by CEC. Fast and with strong damage dealing guns. A proper warship.
• CR90-class Corvette
  • Armed diplomatic courier vessel from CEC, very common throughout the galaxy. Fast and good at taking out starfighters. But not originally military designs, and replaced by better abled ships.
• Raider-class Corvette
  • Stolen from the Empire and repainted to show new loyalties. Good at engaging both starfighters and other corvettes and gunships
• Sphyrna-class Hammerhead corvette
  • Light corvette, mostly for anti-starfighter duty. Rendili Stardrive production, slowly phased out of use by the Alliance as the war progresses and they get access to more powerful and effective warships.
• Quarren Corvette
  • Purpose built warship contributed by Quarren militias. Well armed and fast, with a small hanger able to transport a single Quarren gunship.
• Charger Corvette
  • Used in the Clone Wars by the Republic. Many remain in the galaxy in a multitude of hands, from Planetary Security Fleet, private mercenaries, and pirate groups.

Gunships:

• Braha’tok-class Gunboats
  • Large gunboat, 90m long, armed with a number of turbolasers and missile launchers. Fast, and meant to engage both starfighters and larger ships. Manufactured by the Dornean Braha’ket Fleetworks Conglomerate, and donated to the Alliance navy in respectable numbers.
• X4 Gunships
  • Built by Rebel Sympathisers at Incom Corporation in secret shipyards across the galaxy to help grow the Rebel Fleet. The X4 is armed with a number of laser cannons covering all angles of the ship, and make excellent vessels in attacking both starfighters and larger vessels.

Other:

• UT-60D U-wing.
  • An Incom design, the U-wing was primarily a heavy-starfighter/transport, though Rebels would often rig infantry guns in the door wells to allow them to be used as gunships as well. Hyperdrive equipped and shielded, they were excellent at entering hot zones quickly and their hyperdrive meant they could be launched from hidden bases systems away. Incom only made a limited supply before being shut down by the Empire but rebel leader Bail Organa arranged for a number of them to end up in Rebel hands, and as the Galactic Civil War progressed further Incom engineers would restart production in secret factories for the Rebel cause.
• Low Altitude Assault Transport/ infantry
  • Troop transports and battlefield gunships. They lack a hyperdrive, shields, or advanced space-capable engines, but are capable of carrying a number of troops to the battlefield and extracting them. Uncountable numbers were built by Rothana Heavy Engineering for the Republic during the Clone Wars, and many of them went unused in warehouses that the Alliance later appropriated for their own use.

This one features a bit of headcanoning, including speeding up the timeline of the MC80b's development such that it now dates to just before Endor. And im a bit wobbly about the position I've placed the Dauntless in, could be moved up a level. But I hope people like it, sometimes I feel like the rebels have both so much variety in some levels but too little variety in others.

If people are interested I also have similar posts in the works for the New Republic and First Order, though those require quite a bit more headcanon and Fanon ships thanks to the lack of information we have about that era. But like always I try to be canon-compliant when I can.
