The NRSC Independence is a Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruiser, Home One variant. It was among the first of these ships to enter Alliance, and later New Republic, service, and therefore has enjoyed a long and storied history among the ongoing conflicts of the Galaxy. It remains in active service as a frontline warship, serving as battlecruiser, carrier, command ship and mobile base for many of the New Republic's military personnel. Despite its age, it remains a capable and formidable force on the battlefield.
