This relegated the ship for use by ''[[dezgra]]'' and [[freeborn]] units, who continued to use it in its combined-arms role. As such, all ''Lions'' in service with the Clans date from the original Exodus, with no new ships having been built, unlike Clan-built ''[[Union-C|Union-Cs]]'' or ''[[Overlord-C|Overlord-Cs]]'', which are essentially new designs that share Inner Sphere names.<ref name=TR57r_Lion/>+ A few ''Lions'' also accompanied the [[Wolf's Dragoons]] when the came to the Inner Sphere, stripped of most of their advanced Clan equipment, though with the Clan cargo configuration still in tact, though they limited the ships to carrying two lances to attempt to allay suspicion. − − When [[Wolf's Dragoons]] returned to the Inner Sphere in [[3005]], they brought with them ''Lion''-class ships, stripped of most of their advanced Clan equipment. However, the sudden sight of so many rare DropShips immediately raised questions, though the Dragoons remained quiet about their origin.
