The DropShip Charon's Barge was listed as part of the attached support vessels of the 328th Assault Cluster of Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf) in a ComStar document dated 1 December 3052, as an Overlord-class DropShip.[1]
Notes[edit]
- ^ It should be noted that sources from the early Clan Invasion era, including the ComStar report naming this vessel, have been known to misreport Clan DropShips of the Broadsword, Union-C and Overlord-C classes in particular as vessels of equivalent Inner Sphere classes, namely the Leopard, Union, and Overlord.[2] This leaves a distinct possibility that the Charon's Barge was in fact an Overlord-C. However, at the same time, other sources differentiated between these designs and still observed both Clan designs and their Inner Sphere predecessor designs serving side-by-side among the invading Clans.[3] For a lack of conclusive evidence to the contrary, the notion that the Charon's Barge was an Overlord (and not an Overlord-C) is therefore taken at face value for the purpose of this article.
