	===Ship History===		===Ship History===
−	The ''Dragau II'' was originally produced by the CASPAR II Drone, using the ''[[Gazelle]]'' Class DropShip as a basis for the design. The ship took the form of a fighter like appearance, which its controllers took advantage of when it finally saw combat against [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' [[Battle of Mars|invasion]] of [[Terra|Mars]] in [[3067]].  The original Dragau was used in coordinated attacks with other drones in swarm-like packs. During [[Operation SCOUR]], the ship saw significant action fighting during the campaign against the allied coalition forces. Notably during the Liberation of Terra in [[3078]], the ship was noted for one of its damaged units ramming and destroying a ''[[Zechetinu]]''-class WarShip, FSS ''Excalibur''.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 180: "''Dragau II'''s early history"</ref>	+	The ''Dragau II'' was originally produced by the CASPAR II Drone, using the ''[[Gazelle]]'' Class DropShip as a basis for the design.

−	After the Jihad and the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, the need to build up the RAF required a patrol vessel. Like its larger companion vessel the ''[[Tiamat (DropShip class)|Tiamat]]'', the design was adapted for manned use. Due to the readiness of the [[New Earth]] shipyard, which was geared for the Drone's production, less work was required to get the craft into production. However, converting the ''Dragau'' for manned use was time consuming and called for a complete redesign of the craft as ''Dragau II''. The ''Dragau II'', like its drone predecessor, was designed to use its high-speed and maneuverability to handle enemy opponents. The ship is noted for its cramped crew quarters and its lack of durability for long deployments.<ref name="TRO:385Sp38+"/>	+	After the Jihad and the formation of the Republic of the Sphere, the need to build up the RAF required a patrol vessel.
