The '''''Claymore''''' was an ''[[Overlord (DropShip class)|Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]] attached to the [[Northwind Highlanders]]' [[Stirling's Fusiliers]] [[regiment]] as of [[3058]].<ref name=IoWc6/>

The '''''Claymore''''' was an ''[[Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]] attached to the [[Northwind Highlanders]]' [[Stirling's Fusiliers]] [[regiment]] as of [[3058]].<ref name=IoWc6>''Impetus of War'', ch. 6</ref>

It was lost in the [[Battle of Wayside (3058)]].<ref name=IoWc6/>
The ''Claymore'' had been serving with the Northwind Highlanders for a long time. On its last trip it carried a full [[battalion]] of Stirling's Fusiliers to [[Wayside V]]. There, it was attacked by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] fighters and severely damaged, but managed to land and disembark its troops. Once repaired, it was as used to draw a [[WarShip]] to the other side of the planet and disembark troops in the "Straits." In the subsequent ground battle it was damaged again and unable to take off, so the Fusiliers stripped it of anything useful and abandoned the ship.<ref>''Impetus of War'' chs. 13–29</ref>

The reactor was rigged to explode, and when a team of [[Elementals]] boarded the vessel, the explosion killed at least two Points of their number.<ref>''Impetus of War'' ch. 34</ref>
