History
Built as a luxury cruiser by the Mon Calamari, the Independence was retrofitted as a warship after the Galactic Empire conquered their world and enslaved their people. In thanks for liberating their world, the Mon Calamari gifted three such star cruisers, including the Independence, to the Rebel Alliance. Though at first the Alliance lacked the skilled star officers to crew the warships, the thousands of prisoners liberated from Q'Maere who had nowhere else to go volunteered.
