One of only two prototypes ever built of the ''[[Argo (DropShip class)|Argo]]''-class of [[DropShip]], the '''''Argo''''' was built by [[Boeing Interstellar]] at their [[Galax]] shipyard. (The other was the ''[[Myrmidon (Individual Argo-class DropShip)|Myrmidon]]'', which was never completed.)<ref name=HATAC-61>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 61: "Rules Annex - Argo-Class DropShip"</ref>

The ''Argo'' was sent on its maiden voyage to the [[rimward]] [[periphery]] in [[2762]]. Contact was lost, and the ''Argo'' was presumed to have been destroyed as part of the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]] ([[2765]]-[[2766]]).<ref name=HATAC-61/><ref>BattleTech video game 8 March 2016 Kickstarter Update</ref>

The ship would be rediscovered in a partially canibalized condition on the moon [[Axylus]], where the self-appointed pirate queen [[Grim Sybil]] was using it as her base of operations.<ref name=BTVG>''BattleTech'' (video game)</ref> The former [[Markham's Marauders]] [[mercenary unit]] were hired by [[Kamea Arano]] to successfully recover the vessel for Kamea's [[Arano Restoration]], with the mercenaries calling the vessel home for the duration of that campaign.<ref name=HATAC-55>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 55: "Scenarios: Rampart Company - Scenario 3"</ref>

The ultimate fate of the ''Argo'' in the wake of the defeat of the [[Aurigan Directorate]] is unknown. As of [[3026]] [[Magistracy of Canopus]] intelligence indicated that the ship had apparently left the [[Aurigan Reach]] possibly for good, thought to be engaged in long-range reconnaissance and trade on behalf of the [[Aurigan Coalition]], with [[MIM]] agents reporting sightings of the vessel throughout the rimward Periphery.<ref name=HATAC-25>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 25 "Military Forces"</ref>
