Owned by [[Captain]] [[Rachel McCloud]], the ''Bristol'' was an independent ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]] that often operated together with the [[Black Thorns]] [[mercenary]] unit.  
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
McCloud initially only accepted a contract to transport the Black Thorns to [[Borghese]] out of financial necessity. She did not want to have anything to do with the unit, but her on-and-off relationship with Black Thorns commanding officer [[Jeremiah Rose]] resulted in the ''Bristol'' becoming the Thorns' primary DropShip, even though it technically remained independent.<ref>''Mercenary's Handbook 3055'', p. 73</ref> The ''Bristol'' was briefly stolen by citizens of Borghese, but recovered by the Black Thorns.<ref>''The Black Thorns'', p. 7</ref>

After transporting the Black Thorns to [[Wolcott]] in [[3057]], McCloud was unable to receive a permit to transport troops as part of military operations after a falling out with the [[Internal Security Force]].<ref>''D.R.T.'', chs. 8, 12</ref> This lead the ''Bristol'' to take jobs independent of the Black Thorns. One of these missions took her to [[Luthien]] and back. She remained stationed on Wolcott loosely assosiated with the Black Thorns<ref>''D.R.T.'', chs. 15, 18</ref>

As of [[3067]], the Thorns had modified the ''Bristol'', altering the fighter bays to hold both additional [[BattleMech]]s and extra cargo, allowing the ''Bristol'' to also accommodate the additional pilots present within the unit. Despite evidently being capable of modifying the ''Bristol'', the Black Thorns were only capable of meeting three quarters of the technical support requirements of the DropShip in 3067.<ref name="MSp20">''Mercenaries Supplemental'', p. 20: "The Black Thorns: Rebuilding The Burnt Bridges"</ref>
