Star Wars Helmet Collection 39 (Databank A-Z: Kwazel Maw — Sly Moore) states that the MC-series star cruisers are made by Mon Calamari Shipyards. As Star Wars: Complete Locations states that the Freedom's Dawn was an MC-series star cruiser, it must have been constructed by the Mon Calamari Shipyards.
