Think the MC80 is the only capital ship available to the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars? Wrong! Today we'll learn about the 5 deadliest ships used by the Rebels in Star Wars Legends.
Note: I stated in the video that we were looking at Legends and Canon, but I misspoke - this list is Star Wars Legends only, the canon version will come very soon!!

We see the epic Battle of Endor at the end of Star Wars Episode6, Return of the Jedi, but (surprisingly!) that engagement only had a small fraction of the Rebels ship type. Below are the five, in no particular order, strongest ships used by the rebellion.
Dauntless Class Heavy Frigate: One of the few ships with the beef to go head-to-head with a Star Destroyer and potentially win.
The Assault Frigate Mark II: the Assault Frigate Mark I was a redesign of the Dreadnought Class Heavy Cruiser - the Mark II is a further iteration on the design.
MC80 Home One Type - Probably one of the most famous capital ships used by the Rebel Alliance. Some people say that this is analogous to a Super Star Destroyer - while that's clearly out of touch, and the ship is closer in classification to a regular Star Destroyer - the MC 80 Home One variant was an elite ship, not only to the Rebels, but just generally.
The MC30c: Another Mon Calamari ship, the MC30c was light and fast with decent weaponry but lacking really solid armour.
The Liberator Cruiser: A carrier and quasi front line support ship all in one... very interesting.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the video! I forgot to ask, but let me know which one of these ship types you would like to see in Episode 8: The Last Jedi, or future Star Wars movies.
