The '''''Isegrim''''' is an Assault [[DropShip]] built as part of a secret joint project between [[Clan Wolf]] and [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]].  Scientists and technicians from both Clans met on [[Arc-Royal]] during the [[Jihad]], as [[Word of Blake]] space forces dealt heavy blows to both sides and many Wolf ships, for lack of their own facilities, were forced to use the naval yards there for repairs.  Unbeknownst to their own Clans, these scientists and technicians began collaborating on a design, based on the ''[[Noruff (DropShip class)|Noruff]]'' hull, to counter the Blakist ''[[Interdictor]]'' [[Pocket WarShip]].  The result was a ship that could outrun the ''Interdictor'', with protection provided by ninety-four and a half tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor concentrated on the nose and sides, and excellent firepower including the use of [[Sub-Capital Weapons]].  Both Clans began production of the ''Isegrim'' separately, with the Exiles launching their first ship from the WC Aerospace Annex on Arc-Royal in [[3083]].  While initially greeted with much fanfare by the [[Lyran Alliance]], especially since the Exiles were willing to sell the design to them, within the year Clan Wolf ''Isegrims'' were seen in orbit above [[Tamar]] with a factory located on [[Dell]].<ref name="TRO:3085p184"/>

Horrified, the [[Archon]] demanded answers, and [[Khan]] [[Phelan Kell]] launched an investigation which, while answered within days, was dragged out for six more months in a show of thoroughness that included the execution of three Exile scientists.  Nevertheless, the damage was already done, and within two years ''Isegrims'' were seen in large numbers throughout both Lyran space and the Clan Wolf [[Occupation Zone]], with two [[Star]]s in orbit above Arc-Royal as part of the Exile fleet.  The Wolves have also sold a number of ''Isegrims'' to [[Clan Diamond Shark]] in exchange for [[HarJel]].<ref name="TRO:3085p184"/>
