In answer to their rivals developing the Impi Class the Khans of Clan Ghost Bear thought to go 'one better' and build a larger craft that would be a superior vessel in their mind. Based on the Overlord-C the new design was at 14,000 tons a large vessel and mirrored the Overlord C's performance whilst exceeding it in terms of armor protection thanks to nearly 65 tons of Ferro-Aluminium draping the designs hull.
Unlike the Impi the new ship would only carry Mechs and Elementals but space was found to fit a Binary of Aerospace fighters as well making her more akin to the older Colossus class. The troop capacity was extensive, capable of carrying three Binary's of Mechs (30) and a Trinary of Elementals (75) although cargp space was somewhat limited and they were brutally uncomfortable ships for their crew and any passengers carried aboard.
The armament was a mixture of lasers, missiles, gauss rifles and autocannons backed up by an AMS battery. Called the Drekar after the ancient Viking longship the Drekar started entering small scale production but they were not popular ships. It was felt by some that the large DropShip was a case of 'too many eggs in one basket' and that the loss of a single Drekar could seriously hurt the Clan or the chances of a Trial succeeding. Their limited cargo also caused problems when they were used as they could not support operations on the ground for too long and forced the Bears to use other ships to carry ammunition, food, water and spare parts to support a Drekar. Despite this, they did see service in REVIVAL, with several taking part in the Battle of Rasalhague.
