Vanden Willard's cruiser being fired upon
General Vanden Huyck Willard commanded Yavin's Hope, a cruiser of this model after the mutiny on Mon Cala. It had been modified with technology from Shu-Torun. Eventually, after the Rebel Alliance celebrated the gathering of this navy, Willard prepared his cruiser to jump to hyperspace, but the technology given to the rebellion was inoperable, including Willard's cruiser's hyperdrive. Darth Vader's Death Squadron arrived and destroyed Willard's cruiser, killing him and his entire crew.
The Mon Calamari cruiser first appeared, albeit unnamed, in the 2018 canon comic, Star Wars (2015) 44, written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larroca.
