The ''Colonel Crockett'' was depicted transporting General Christifori and several of his senior officers from Graceland to New Avalon<ref name="TLRp2"/> but no indication is given of its size. Archers Avengers was an amalgam of the surviving elements of the [[1st Thorin Regiment|First]] and [[2nd Thorin Regiment|Second Thorin Regiments]] - the second having the nickname "the Muphrid Rangers" - but the Avengers had been reduced in size to slightly more than a [[battalion]] in strength at this point. It's possible that the ''Colonel Crockett'' was responsible for transporting all of the surviving [[BattleMech]]s, but reference is made to Archer's Avengers being deployed on New Avalon "not far from their DropShips", indicating that the Avengers utilised at least two DropShips. However, as the exact composition of the Avengers and their DropShips is unknown, it is unclear as to whether the the DropShips mentioned were solely 'Mech carriers or a mix of the ''Colonel Crockett'' and transports for other forms of unit such as [[aerospace fighter]]s or armor.<ref name="TLRp10">''The Longest Road'', p. 10-11</ref>

History[edit]

The Colonel Crockett was an Overlord-class 'Mech-transporting DropShip in service with the Allied forces during the FedCom Civil War. Left behind on the starport tarmac by a Lyran regiment on Syrma, it had been captured and made his command vessel by Archer Christifori. As it turned out though, the Colonel Crockett suffered from slipshod maintenance, its engines were worn out and badly required a complete overhaul, and its environmental systems were "problematic".[1]

The Colonel Crockett covertly carried Major General Archer Christifori and some of Archer's Avengers from Graceland to New Avalon in late 3066, so that Christifori and the Avengers could take part in the final battles against the forces of Archon Katherine Steiner.[2]
