History
The Xao was a Leopard-class DropShip operated by the Draconis Combine forces blockading Verthandi in 3025. It should not be confused with the Union-class DropShip of the same name that was also operated by the Draconis Combine forces at Verthandi.
On 25 October 3025[1] the Gray Death Legion's DropShip Phobos attempted a breakthrough to Verthandi. The Xao was among the ships maneuvering to keep the Phobos away from the planet[2] and, after the Phobos had opened fire on Combine aerospace fighters, moved to attack the Phobos.[3] It would later serve as a tactical transport for Combine BattleMech forces (in conjunction with tank forces delivered by the Subotai) and eventually, it is implied, took part in the withdrawal of the Combine troops.[4]
