  The one that sticks in my mind at the moment is the fluff for the DRoST-IIa DropShip being so laden with Firefly material.  "Be with you for the rest of your life." "Because it's a deathtrap?"  And, of course, the unreliable Kapesen 28 engines in earlier models.  ;D

Yeah easily one of my favorite ones

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

considering the dreadnaught itself might as well have been the Galactica with all of those autocannons (if it flies it dies)

Yeah the design suggested it the AC/5's were a dead give away the fluff in Reunification promoted it but the story in the Liberation of Terra I "Last Stand of the Grand Old Queen" page 78 killed it for me, everything about the story screamed Galactica taking elements from the old and new series to make a great story.

Even the ending seemed very fitting

I really wanted High Test to use the Dreadnaught as out heavier battlewagon for the Elysium Republic.  the Dart was just more our style though.
