Line 36: Produced a few decades before the [[Amaris Coup]], the '''''Lee'''''-class [[DropShip]] was one of the last major military transports to be produced for the [[SLDF]] prior to its conquest by [[Stefan Amaris]]. Pitched by three major naval yards in the [[Terran Hegemony]], the ''Lee'' proposal was presented to SLDF [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding]] General [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] in [[2749]]. The design was part of his vision to streamline the number of Military DropShip Classes. His effort were focused in the creation of a heavily armed and armored vessel that could carry a large payload of SLDF troops into battle quicker than any current design currently in service. Twice the size of the SLDF's standard ''[[Overlord]]'', the ''Lee''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s primary design was configured to carry a reinforced battalion's worth of BattleMechs, while supported by a single [[Squadron|squadron]] of [[aerospace fighter]]s. Kerensky's efforts to get the ''Lee'' into production was not easy, due to various boondoggles and political entanglements associated with the creation and development of previous vessels, such as the ''[[Colossus (DropShip class)|Colossus]]''-class DropShip. However, the unpopular Star Lord [[Richard Cameron]]'s efforts to prevent the design from entering production proved to be beneficial in having it approved by his Star League Council.
