The Elgrim was an Isegrim-class DropShip of Clan Wolf and later Wolf's Dragoons.
Operational History
The Elgrim was build and operated by Clan Wolf. During most than a decade, it saw hard service across the Wolf Empire as his sister ship, the Falgrim, until they were sent to planet Trellisane. There, the merchant caste expanded the local Grumman Amalgamated plant, to produce more Isegrims. Both were landed on Eurotas city's spaceport, and used as training and test-bed hulls: to train the workers, they were taken apart, put back together and so on.[1] Even during a Marik raid on 3151 both ships were left alone, as Eurotas... but that changed when Zeta Battalion, from Wolf's Dragoons, under contract of the Duchy of Tamarind landed there, on 17 February of 3152, the Dragoons wanted to make sure both Isegrims weren't used against them. The Wolf defenders, as they weren't battle-worthy, and the workers hadn't time to finish rebuilding them, retreated from the city, leaving only ome defenders aboard each one with hand weapons.[2] The Falgrim surrended before Dragoons infantry reach them. Elgrim's defenders fought... but lost anyway, and the ship was secured anyway. Dragoons immediately began working on both DropShips, to make them spaceworthy.[3] After Tamaring forces arrived, the 23 March, they attempted to confiscate the ships, but the Dragoon's commander of Zeta, Haya Tetsuhara ignored them and took the ships with themselves. Once in Nockutanga's Olympus Recharge station, the workers there began working on finishing them.[4] Elgrim and Falgrim were fully operational and with new crews at time for the next operation of Zeta: a raid at Gienah, capital of the Wolf Empire. Posing as Yellow Suns Free Guild, Zeta arrived days before, and the 3 March 3152, another Dragoons JumpShip, the Talbot arrived with Falgrim and Isegrim to secure Gienah's nadir jump point.[5] Under the command of veteran DropShip Serena Carmody, Elgrim led the assault against the Wolf lone guard dropship, the Pack Mule, destroying it with the first volley, while Falgrim attacked the Wolf JumpShip Tiamat. Elgrim quicly joined his sister ship with the boarding action, which happened without problems.[6]
