Developed by [[Clan Snow Raven]] for [[Clan Blood Spirit]], the '''''Arcadia''''' is the first dedicated [[ProtoMech]] transport developed by any [[Clan]]. Rather than act as a transport for large scale invasions, however, the ''Arcadia'' class ships are designed to deliver Blood Spirit forces to a world where they then engage in a [[Trial of Possession]]. The Snow Ravens, aware of the Blood Spirit's limited resources, made sure to use components that the Spirits had on hand and could repair easily. The only real extravagance on the ship are the [[Advanced Tactical Missile Launcher]] systems. The flexibility of these weapons offset their rarity.<ref name=TRO3067/>

The ''Arcadia'' is designed to land on a world and answer a Trial of Possession. With this in mind, the ''Arcadia'' had to be fast to elude defenders in case they didn't offer ''[[safcon]]''. This resulted in a vessel that is faster than any other Clan [[DropShip]]. Only the ''[[Noruff (DropShip class)|Noruff]]'' class vessels have a hope of catching it. Clan [[aerospace fighter]]s can catch it, but are massively outgunned by the ''Arcadia''. These features allow the Blood Spirits to put forces on the ground or evade enemy forces, maximizing the use of their limited resources.<ref name=TRO3067/>
