The Union-C was redesigned Union Dropship to suit Clan needs, as the old ships taken from Inner Sphere weren't suitable anymore. Ship could carry whole Trinary of OmniMechs while being better armored and armed than precursor.

Armament

Union-C weaponry is based on Laser weapons with support of Gauss and LRMs, however ship wasn't designed for longer fights as ammunition can be depleted within 10 minutes. Ship matches the Upgraded Union used by IS with weaponry, however have better heat management as well as armor.

Cargo

Up to 520 tons of cargo can be carried inside dropship separated into three decks - two for 'Mechs (5 on top and 10 on bottom) and one for miscellaneous cargo. Additionally ship features 3 Escape Pods.
