==Description==
 
==Description==
While officially a merchantman, the harmless-looking exterior of the '''''Bara no Ryu''''', or '''''Rose'''''-class [[DropShip]] as it is more commonly known, hides a sophisticated military transport craft designed for the [[DCMS]]'s laborious mid-3050s efforts to support the [[ComStar]] [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps's]] search for the [[Clan Homeworlds]], then based largely out of [[Wolcott]].<ref name=TRO57R/>

Advertised as a merchant trader and resembling such designs as the ''[[Mule]]'', Hinsdale Electric's entire output of ''Roses'' are all owned by the DCMS. While its impressive weapons array is enough to cripple any unsuspecting foe, the ''Rose'' is armored more in keeping with the merchant craft it masquerades as, favoring its superior maneuverability and surprise to evade or fend off any attackers who draw it into combat.
  
Advertised as a merchant trader and resembling such designs as the innocuous ''[[Mule]]'', Hinsdale Electric's first three years of output of ''Roses'' were purchased by the DCMS. While its impressive weapons array is enough to cripple any unsuspecting foe, the ''Rose'' is armored more in keeping with the merchant craft it masquerades as, favoring its superior maneuverability and surprise to evade or fend off any attackers who draw it into combat. One such surprise attack occurred in [[3056]] in the uninhabited [[LM-52 9366]] system, when a Clan ''[[Broadsword]]'' was suddenly fired upon by a ''Rose'' it intended to board for an inspection.<ref name=TRO57R/>
 
  
 
==Armament==
 
==Armament==
While visually appearing to be a humble civilian craft, the ''Rose'' is formidably armed even for a military cargo carrier. The impressive nose bay features a [[Gauss rifle]], an [[ER Large Laser]] and [[medium laser]], a similar paring of a [[Large Pulse Laser]] and [[Medium Pulse Laser]], an [[Artemis IV FCS|Artemis enhanced]] [[LRM-15]] backed up by twin [[ER PPC]]s. The remaining forward-firing weapons on the two front angles consist of the same ER Large/standard Medium, Large, and Medium pulse laser sets featured in the nose. The aft angles feature a sole medium laser and LRM-15, with a medium laser, LRM-15, ER PPC, and Medium Pulse Laser mounted directly aft.

==Cargo==
 
==Cargo==
The ''Rose'' can transport just under 10,000 tons of cargo, its standard multipurpose bays can accommodate everything from foodstuffs and construction material to [[Combat Vehicle]]s and [[BattleMech]]s, albeit not able to deploy its cargo in combat as a dedicated combat carrier could. The ''Rose'' also includes provisions for a [[platoon]] of [[infantry]] and its four [[Small Craft]] bays can also hold [[aerospace fighter]]s.
