The '''''Gladius''''' was a [[DropShip]] in service to [[House Marik]]. In [[3027]] it carried His Grace Lord Garth, [[Duke of Irian|Duke]] of [[Irian]], and elements of the [[Irian Guard]] to [[Sirius V]]. It remained in orbit until the world had surrendered to the [[Gray Death Legion]].

Immediately after the Gray Death Legion's DropShips left the planet, Garth's forces committed the [[Tiantan Massacre]]. To frame the Gray Death Legion for the deed, at least four [[BattleMech]]s in the ''Gladius''<nowiki>'</nowiki> 'Mech bay were repainted to resemble Gray Death Legion BattleMechs, and the ''Gladius'' itself was repainted with new insignias to resemble a Gray Death Legion DropShip. In this context it was noted that one ''Union''-class DropShip looks very much like another, confirming this class for the ''Gladius''.<ref>''The Price of Glory'', pp. 27–29</ref>
