The DropShip Success was listed as part of the attached support vessels of the Choyer Garrison Cluster of Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Wolf) in a ComStar document dated 1 December 3052, as "Union Class Command DropShip."[1]
Notably, there was a second Union-class vessel bearing the same name serving in the same unit at the same time, though said other vessel was not identified as a Command DropShip. Context establishes that these were indeed two different vessels.
Implied data[edit]
Exact Class[edit]
It should be noted that sources from the early Clan Invasion era, like the ComStar report naming the Success, have been known to misreport Clan DropShips of the Broadsword, Union-C, and Overlord-C classes in particular as vessels of equivalent Inner Sphere classes, namely the Leopard, Union, and Overlord.[2] This leaves a distinct possibility that the Success was in fact a Union-C. However, at the same time, other sources differentiated between these designs and still observed both Clan designs and their Inner Sphere predecessor designs serving side-by-side among the invading Clans.[3] For a lack of conclusive evidence to the contrary, the notion that the Success was a Union (and not a Union-C) is therefore taken at face value for the purpose of this article.
Command Vessel[edit]
The source makes a distinction between "Command Union" and other Union class DropShips, and does likewise for Command Overlords and Overlords, implying that this refers to the actual subvariant or configuration of the ship in question, and not merely its role.
(Specific "Command" variants are known to exist for both the Union and Overlord class;[4] it is unknown if corresponding subvariants exist of the Union-C and Overlord-C.)
