History

The Chieftain was an Overlord-class DropShip supplied to Wolf's Dragoons at their formation, and used as Jaime Wolf's command vessel.[1]

In 3006, the Cheiftain was present in the raid on the Hegemony Bay BattleMech production facility on Styk.[2]

As of ca. 3030 it was assigned to Able Battalion, Alpha Regiment.[3]

In 3054 the ship was commanded by Captain Cythene Martel.[4]

By 3055 it was still assigned to the command company, though instead of carrying a BattleMech battalion like a regular Overlord, the 3055 Chieftain was assigned to a combined force consisting of altogether 15 'Mechs, 2 aerospace fighters, one battle armor squad/point (5 individual battle armor troopers), and 5 ground vehicles.[5] This seems to suggest the Chieftain was either modified, or replaced by a differently configured vessel.
