I edited this thread Sept 14,2007 to remove the listed Jump ship from the units assests. The listed jump ship was a merchant ship that was used to ferry diplomats between the OC and Lyran Commonwealth before it was hijacked by Duke Riccols people for the assult on Trellwan. After Trellwan Grayson Carlyle had the jumpship and 2 merchant union Drop Ships as his transports.

• Where does this information come from? As far as I'm aware, Carlyle's Commandos explicitly mention their own their own JumpShip, the Invidious, in the first book (Decision at Thunder Rift); the ship was revealed to be of Merchant class in some BT sourcebook. They certainly had no chance to capture a Kurita JumpShip at Trell, being stranded without a dropship and fighting a delaying guerilla action on the ground. Duke Ricol, on the other hand, was stated to own a Monolith class vessel in an article about him on either BattleTechnology or Shrapnel. But I could be wrong, I don't have the book anymore so cannot look it up. Frabby 03:19, 15 September 2007 (CDT)

I can't seem to find my copy of Decision at Thunder Rift, but I think a friend of mine still has his. I'll ask him and try to confirm it. In Mercenary's Star (the next in the series), they definitely have the Invidious and the Phobos. A second DropShip is not mentioned that I recall, but I'll double-check.

I was checking Mercenary's Star and did find mention of the Deimos (as I suspected), but nothing beyond its existence. I think it's discussed in the other books - Price of Glory and Decision at Thunder Rift. I'm still trying to locate a copy of Thunder Rift, but the Gray Death Legion definitely had two DropShips at the beginning of Mercenary's Star. Bdevoe 22:17, 17 September 2007 (CDT)
