The Viscount’s shields had backups, like previous Calamari designs, and were thus highly regenerative. The Viscount-class was equipped with over five thousand weapons systems, including heavy turbolaser batteries and assault concussion missile launchers. Dozens of docking clamps allowed the vessel to directly dock with many other capital ships at the same time. Its shape was also more compact than the Executor-class and it had heavier and more extensive armor. Furthermore, the vessel required a substantially smaller crew to operate. Although slightly shorter in length than the Executor-class, the superior engineering skills of the Mon Calamari enabled the vessel to carry more starfighters. The first prototype was a 3 km long battlecruiser, and the full production model was a 17 km long dreadnought. The Viscount-class Star Defender was envisioned as the New Republic equivalent of an Executor-class Star Dreadnought. Although it lacked the Super laser of the eclipse, in my opinion the viscount was probably the greatest ship in Star Wars Legends history. Viscounts were used by the New Republic in Star Wars Legends, and were introduced during the Yuuzhan Vong war, these ships protected the new Republic’s most important planets and stood head-to-head against the largest fleets the Yuuzhan Vong could throw at the Galaxy. While the Prototype vicount was only 3 km long, the full production Dreadnought was 17 km with over 4,000 heavy and regular turbolasers, and could carry over a dozen squadrons of starfighters. The Viscount Class Star Defender was arguably the most powerful ship in Star Wars History – it took everything great about the Mon Calamari line of vessels, from smart design, to an impenetrable shield, and scaled it up to Super Star Destroyer Size.
