The '''''Elgrim''''' was an ''[[Isegrim]]''-class [[DropShip]] of [[Clan Wolf]] and later [[Wolf's Dragoons]].

==Operational History==
The ''Elgrim'' was built and operated by [[Clan Wolf]]. During most than a decade, it saw hard service across the [[Wolf Empire]] with its sister ship, the ''[[Falgrim]]'', until they were sent to [[Trellisane]]. There, the merchant caste expanded the local [[Grumman Amalgamated]] plant to produce more ''Isegrim''s. Both ships were landed on Eurotas City's spaceport, and used as training and testbed hulls: to train the workers, they were taken apart, later put back together and so on.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 207</ref>

Even during a Marik raid in [[3151]] both ships were left alone, as was Eurotas, but that changed when [[Zeta Battalion]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]], under contract to the [[Duchy of Tamarind]], landed on the planet on 17 February [[3152]] went directly for them: the Dragoons wanted to make sure both ''Isegrim''s weren't used against them. The Wolf defenders, as they weren't battle-ready retreated from the city, leaving aboard only some defenders armed with hand weapons; the workers hadn't time to finish rebuilding them.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 201–203</ref>

The ''Falgrim'' surrendered before Dragoons infantry reached it. ''Elgrim''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s defenders fought but lost anyway, and the ship was soon secured. The Dragoons immediately began making both DropShips spaceworthy.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 208–213</ref>

After Tamarind forces arrived on 23 March, to take possession of the planet, they attempted to confiscate the ships, but the commander of Zeta Battalion, [[Haya Tetsuhara]], ignored the Tamarind commander and took the ships with them when the battalion departed. Once at [[Nockatunga]]'s [[Olympus]] Recharge station, the workers there began working on finished prepping the two ''Isegrim''s.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 250</ref>

''Elgrim'' and ''Falgrim'' were fully operational with new crews in time for the next mission by Zeta: a raid on [[Gienah]], capital of the Wolf Empire. Posing as members of the [[Yellow Suns Free Guild]], Zeta arrived days early, and on 3 March 3152, another Dragoons [[JumpShip]], the ''[[Talbot (Individual JumpShip)|Talbot]]'', arrived with ''Falgrim'' and ''Elgrim'' to secure Gienah's nadir jump point.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 272</ref>

Under the command of veteran DropShip captain [[Serena Carmody]], ''Elgrim'' led the assault against the lone guard Wolf DropShip, the ''[[Pack Mule]]'', destroying it with the first volley, while ''Falgrim'' attacked the Wolf JumpShip ''[[Tiamat (Individual Invader-class JumpShip)|Tiamat]]''. ''Elgrim'' quickly joined her sister ship for the boarding action, which happened without problems.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 278</ref>
