−	Designed as a Fighter Carrier, the '''''Aesir''''' Assault DropShip was first developed by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during the early years of the [[Jihad]]. The ship was designed to serve as an escort vessel for the Clan's [[Leviathan II|''Leviathan'' Class Heavy Battleships]].  The Clan lost an entire fleet of escort WarShips to [[Clan Nova Cat]] when they conducted a [[Trial of Possession]] for one of its incomplete ''Leviathan'' WarShips in [[3067]]. The ''Aesir'' was developed at the same time as its near-sister Class, the ''Vanir''.  The ship was first produced from [[3077]] until [[3081]] at the Clan's shipyards located at [[Alshain]] and [[Rasalhague]].  This first production run produced upwards to 5 [[Star (Formation)|Stars]] worth of ships which were employed in the war with [[Word of Blake]].  During the liberation of Terra in [[3078]], [[Devlin Stone]] convinced the Bears to "gift" a mixed [[Binary]] of ships consisting of the ''Aesir'' and ''Vanir'' designs to Clan Nova Cat for the liberation.  These Nova Cats ships were taken from the ''Leviathan'' Heavy Battleship ''[[Great Bear]]'s'' escort force.  The WarShip's loss of its escort force was a suspected reason the ship was destroyed during the liberation.  After the Jihad, the ship's productions lines continue to produce the ship but in limited numbers.<ref name="TRO:3085p186+"/>	+	Designed as a Fighter Carrier, the '''''Aesir''''' Assault DropShip was first developed by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during the early years of the [[Jihad]].

	The ship was designed to carry ninety tons of Ferro-Aluminum armor to give it a sizable amount of protection from both standard and some capital grade weaponry. As part of its enhanced escort capacities, the ship was equipped with a small [[Naval Comm-Scanner Suite]], which allowed the ship to detect enemy forces better than conventional ships' sensors.<ref name="TRO:3085p186+"/>		The ship was designed to carry ninety tons of Ferro-Aluminum armor to give it a sizable amount of protection from both standard and some capital grade weaponry.
