An official ruling thus states that Clan ''Union''-class DropShips mentioned in earlier sources including namely the ''Luthien'' scenario pack can be assumed to have been ''Union-C''-class instead (see ''[[Luthien (scenario pack)#Notes]]'').<br />That said, it is entirely possible that the Clans captured regular ''Union''-class vessels of Inner Sphere origin during their conquest and deployed such captured vessels in the Battle of Luthien. ''[[The Falcon and the Wolf]]'' lists ''Union-C'' and (regular old-fashioned) ''Union''-class vessels in the ''[[touman]]s'' of Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon, indicating both types were used by the Clans; the book is written as a report from [[Wolfnet]] who, being of Clan descent themselves, would be able to tell the two classes apart. + *Although described as a [[Clan]] vessel, the ''Kerensky'' is consistently stated to be ''Union''-class in the ''Luthien'' scenario pack.
