Mark Alliance: MAC

The Mark Alliance Cruiser, or MAC, is the only large ship type in the Mark Alliance fleet. It is the only one we need.

Even an unmodified lucrehulk-class battleship is impressive. At over 3000 meters in diameter it dwarfs Imperial-class star destroyers, and its shields are made to resist barrages from heavy capital ships like the Acclamator- and Venator-class ships in the clone wars. The biggest thing it lacks is some good weapons.

Mine are even more impressive. I added deck plates to counteract one of its greatest weaknesses, the area in between the core ship and the ring. I also bolstered the anti-fighter guns and added 20 of my own creations: massive ball turrets, each with two barrels spitting plasma beams traveling nearly as fast as a turbolaser bolt.
A barrage from these weapons can bring down an imperial-class star destroyer with little trouble. I even enhanced the shields.

You are probably wondering how I generate this much power. The answer is that I enlarged the fusion reactor to the point where it fills most of the core ship area and added fuel tanks in the plated off area.

The MAC is not only useful as a warship, it also is a carrier ship. It holds 52 Albatross-class landers providing 624 MTT's with 112 troops each and 5,200 other vehicles. Each MAC also holds 1,100 fighters and 52 falcon-class dive landers.
