Notes:

  • Mon Calamari Star Frigates are configured to provide Mon Calamari with their +1D bonus for being in moist environments. The crew skill levels do not reflect these bonuses.
  • Hyperdrive: Roll 1D:
    • 1 - hyperdrive fails at any point along trip (GM discretion)
    • 2-6 normal operation.
  • Mon Calamari Star Frigates have 4D of backup shields. When a die of shield is lost, if the shields operators can make an Easy CS shields total, one of the backup die codes of shields can be brought up to increase the shield back to 2D.

Capsule: The "Eloquent" Star Frigate class is a very successful one in the Mon Calamari starship line. It's introduction after the Corellian Incident has changed the tide of battle for New Republic forces as soon as they showed up. The incredibly fast of an Eloquent hyperdrive allows it to be a part of advance attack forces, as well as catch up with enemy forces that are fleeing. However, this very new hyperdrive technology didn't come without a price: there is a 15 percent chance of hyperdrive failure, bringing the ship out of hyperspace - or worse. The reason behind this is due to Han Solo's interesting hyperdrive, from which the Eloquent was constructed. The Falcon's hyperdrive was created by Imperial engineers who apparently did not finish it, and Solo has had some past troubles because of it. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, as the Eloquent is a fine class, and can be produced by the Mon Cal shipyards at a rate of one a month, the starfighters taking another month for every 12 built.
