History
The Midway was a Broadsword-class DropShip (misreported as its [[Inner Sphere equivalent, the Leopard-class) operated by Clan Nova Cat as part of the 3rd Nova Cat Aerospace Cluster. Under Star Captain Cadonna, it took part in the Battle of Luthien during the Clan Invasion.[1]
Notes
- When the Luthien scenario pack was published in 1993, the Clans' own DropShip classes had not yet been introduced to BattleTech; these were only introduced in Technical Readout: 3057 which was published in 1994, i.e. a year later, with the notable exception of the Broadsword class which debuted in the 1992 scenario pack Bloodright. An official ruling thus states that Clan DropShips mentioned in earlier sources including namely the Luthien scenario pack can be assumed to have been of their Clan equivalent classes instead (see Luthien (scenario pack)#Notes).
That said, it is conceivable though that the Clans may have captured Leopard-class vessels from the Inner Sphere prior to 3052, and deployed such captured vessels in the Battle of Luthien. Leopard-class vessels would however be unusual among the Clans because they can only carry four BattleMechs and do not fit well into the Clans' five-based unit structure.
