When Kamea ordered the Captain of the Newgrange to surrender, he refused and cut comms with her. This would prompt Kamea to order her mercenaries to fire on the fuel cells near the dropship and destroy it completely.{{cn}}

==Aftermath==
After the ''Newgrange'' was destroyed, a Directorate lance led by [[Victoria Espinosa]] attacked the mercenaries. They failed and all their 'Mechs were destroyed, leading to Victoria's capture at the hands of the Arano Restoration's forces. The destruction of the ''Newgrange'' prompted the entrance of the [[Taurian Concordat]] into the Restoration War, starting with the ''Iberia'''s assault on Artru.{{cn}}

==Canonicity==
 
==Canonicity==
The ''Newgrange'' had originally appeared in the ''[[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech]]'' video game by [[Harebrained Schemes LLC]], which is merely an [[apocryphal]] source. Since then, the DropShip has appeared in the [[Shrapnel (magazine)#Issue 15|''Shrapnel'' Issue #15]] short story ''[[Second to None]]'', rendering it now canonical.
+
The ''Newgrange'' has so far only appeared in the [[BattleTech (Video Game)]] by [[Harebrained Schemes LLC]]. This source does not meet the current criteria for [[Canon]], and is thus treated as [[apocryphal]] at this time.
 +
 
 +
Incumbent [[Line Developer]] [[Randall N. Bills]] explicitly stated that it was the intention for this particular game's storyline to be fully canonical. That means that if and when the finished game is released, any information it contains about the ''Newgrange'' will likely be declared canonical.
