Capsule: During the days of the Rebellion, the Sullustans
realized that the Mon Calamari
were building a dominant position within the Rebel Alliance thanks to their
passenger liner to warship conversions. Realizing that this was a threat to
their own position and that it proved it was possible, the SoroSuub corporation
began converting their own premier liner design into warships.
Although fast and heavily armed, the size of the Dauntless
compared with the MC-80 designs proved a deterrent in the months following her
introduction as it was more economical to convert or construct the Calamari
vessels. The Dauntless did not become a very common sight, especially as the
warship conversion had been something SoroSuub had not been enthusiastic to do
or promote.
With a recent change in the leadership of SoroSuub however
the corporations attitude changed and they began to lobby for military contracts
with greater vigor. This prompted a reassessment of the Dauntless design and,
given the greater resources of the New Republic over the Rebel Alliance,
eventually a greater number of Dauntless cruisers entering service.
