The Columbia, a MC80a Star Cruiser, played a role in the rescue operation aimed at freeing prisoners from the Imperial prison vessel Dargon. To extract the prisoners before the arrival of the Victory-class Star Destroyer Callisto to bolster Imperial forces, it deployed Assault transports to the Dargon.
The Mon Calamari Star Cruisers that appeared in Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter are referred to within the game as MC80a Star Cruisers; however, the 2012 reference work The Essential Guide to Warfare later retconned this designation, applying it to a different type of cruiser shown in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
