Unsurprisingly, the ''Union-X'''s revised weapons suite is reminiscent of the classic ''Union'', though more powerful due to its higher technology base. It consists of six [[ER PPC]]s, two [[Gauss rifle]]s, six [[Artemis IV]]-enhanced [[LRM-20]]'s, ten [[ER Large Laser]]s, fourteen [[ER Medium Laser]]s, and four [[Ultra AC/5]]s.

Compared to its parent design, the ''Union-X'' removes four 'Mech cubicles in favor of two additional fighters and berths for five [[squad]]s of [[battle armor]] troops. Its total carrying capacity is thus 4 [[aerospace fighter]]s, 8 'Mechs, 5 squads of battle armor troops, and 281 tons of cargo (supplies).

The ''Union-X'' specs were upgraded in [[3071]], during the [[Jihad]]. This version of the ''Union-X'' removes the Ultra AC/5s, four ER Medium Lasers, and four ER Large Lasers. In their place are four [[heavy Gauss rifle]]s, four [[anti-missile system]]s, and two [[Heavy PPC]]s. The ships have also had their cargo arrangements altered again, carrying four aerospace fighters, four 'Mechs, four heavy combat vehicles, and twelve squads of battle armor. The ship can also carry 315 tons of supplies and ammunition. BV (2.0) = 9,300<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 304</ref>

* ''[[Union]]'' - The ''Union-X'' is based on the venerable ''Union''. Through that classic parent design it is also loosely related to other derivative designs such as the ''[[Danais]]/[[Trojan]]'' and the ''[[Union-C]]''.
