The Render was a DropShip of unspecified class, operated by Clan Jade Falcon.
During the 3148 attack on Coventry by Clan Jade Falcon, the Render was detached with special orders, carrying a force of the Third Falcon Talon Cluster under Star Captain Noonan Binetti to the Cross Divide Mountain foothills with orders to find and destroy the defenders' supply caves there.[1]
Called "Beak Binary" in Stephanie Chistu's initial order, said force was in fact a reinforced binary described as a Trinary later on, divided into Slasher Star, Knight Star, and Beak Star and with attached infantry squads, combat engineers, and extra equipment.[1]
Although the class of the Render was not specified, it was explicitly the sole vessel sent on the mission, and carried the aforementioned forces. Since these forces would arguably be too much to carry for a Union-C-class DropShip (unless modified), and the next largest standard DropShip used by Clan Jade Falcon would be the Overlord-C class, several of which were confirmed with the attacking forces[2] besides the command ship Admiral DiFranco, this seems the most likely class. However, it is also entirely possible that the Render was of a different, less common class, possibly with modifications; technically, it could even be a civilian transporter.
The mission profile and its landing place also suggest (but ultimately do not confirm) the Render to be a spheroid DropShip.
