The Misery was a Trutzburg-class DropShip owned and operated by the mercenary unit Wolf's Dragoons.

History[edit]

Initially, along with its sister ships Glenmora and Crossing it was assigned to the Black Cats, a battalion of Gamma Regiment. It carried them to the Battle of Terra. The Black Cats were annihilated, so the DropShips were put in reserve... but it didn't stay inactive for long.

On 21 October 3151, Major Haya Tetsuhara, under orders to resurrect the long gone Zeta Battalion, took the ships for her reborn unit, becoming their transports and artillery platforms.[1]

Soon after, they carried Zeta Battalion on its first contract, invading the Wolf Empire under contract to the Duchy of Tamarind-Abbey. On 1 January 3152, on Labouchere, their artillery made short work of the Wolf garrison, departing immediately. On the second target, Alula Borealis they didn't need to fire a single shot. On the third, Trellisane, they also did not need to fire a shot. Having completed their contract, Zeta Battalion returned to their secret base on Ilion.[2]

The DropShip saw much more action in its next mission, a raid on Gienah, capital of the Wolf Empire, in June. Posing as Free Guilds ships they arrived undetected, but once landed, they had plenty of targets; after the Wolf Empire landed their Union-C DropShips nearby, the Trutzburg's guns quickly destroyed one on the ground, and a second when it attempted to take off following the Empire retreat.[3]

After carrying Zeta Battalion to Alliago City, the Wolf Empire capital, all three DropShips used their artillery to ensure Zeta's victory.[4]
