The Union-C was a redesigned Union Dropship to better suit Clan needs, as the old ships taken from the Inner Sphere were no longer suitable. The ship could carry a whole Trinary of OmniMechs while being better armored and armed than its precursor.

Armament
Union-C weaponry is based on Laser weapons with support of Gauss Rifles and LRMs, however the ship wasn't designed for long fights as its ammunition can be depleted within 10 minutes. The Union-C matches the Upgraded Union used by IS forces in weaponry, though the Clan ship boasts better heat management and superior armor.
Cargo
Up to 520 tons of cargo can be carried inside the dropship separated into three decks - two for 'Mechs (5 on top and 10 on bottom) and one for miscellaneous cargo. Additionally the ship features 3 Escape Pods.
