The LCS Necessity was an LCAF Trutzburg-class DropShip.
The DropShip was assigned to the defense of Coventry when Clan Jade Falcon attacked it in early 3148.
After the Clan forces blew past the outer fighter screen, it was decided that this DropShip would better serve the LCAF in the ground battle as an artillery platform and mobile command center.
The ship landed near the city of Port St. William, where it provided devastating fire support that helped to slow the Clan forces. When the Falcons tried to counter the artillery with aerospace assets, the LCS Necessity switched one of her Long Toms to cluster munitions, using the flak to discourage the Clan aerofighters while her extended-range LRMs homed in on invaders both in the air and on the ground.
The DropShip did not survive the battle, as it was finally silenced by a boarding party of Elementals delivered by fast-moving hovercraft.
The crew's actions and those of her fighter squadron helped hold the Falcons back long enough for Roderick Steiner's assault group to reach the area and save the capital city.[1]
