MC140 Scythe Main Battle Cruiser Mel Miniatures

A MC140 Scythe Main Battle Cruiser from Mel Miniatures is the perfect choice for any Alliance fleet.

he MC140 Scythe-class main battle cruiser was the primary warship of the Galactic Alliance Defense Fleet approximately one hundred years after the Yuuzhan Vong War. Designed and produced by the famed Mon Calamari Shipyards, the Scythe was a radical departure from normal Mon Calamari starship design. In addition to the unique front blade, the Scythe-class was a mass-produced, standardized design, unlike prior generations of the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser.

These battle cruisers saw extensive use during the Sith–Imperial War. Following the surrender of the Galactic Alliance government at the end of the Sith–Imperial War, many Scythe battle cruisers saw continued service in the Galactic Alliance Remnant during their operations against the Sith.

The Scythe-class battle cruiser’s name was in part due to the massive vertical blade centered on the bow of the warship. The Scythe-class was heavily armed with advanced weaponry, including three heavy turbolaser batteries, six standard turbolaser batteries, two heavy ion cannon batteries, and forty proton torpedo tubes grouped in four proton torpedo batteries with a total 160-warhead capacity. The majority of the Scythe’s weapon batteries were mounted on the forward blade. This configuration was referred to as a „cross of fire“ by Galactic Alliance officials and Mon Calamari engineers, and allowed the Scythe-class battle cruiser to focus its fire onto a singular point. While the „cross of fire“ weapons arrangement proved deadly to almost any warship that fell into its crosshairs, this provided some drawbacks. The heavy concentration of weapons batteries on the forward hull meant that there was limited weaponry on the ship’s broadsides and stern. Furthermore, massive power conduits from the ship’s main reactor and numerous auxiliary reactors took up additional space.
