The '''''Vanir'''''-class assault DropShip is one of two similar ships designed during the [[Jihad]] for [[Clan Ghost Bear]]. Sister to the ''[[Aesir (DropShip class)|Aesir]]'' fighter-carrier, together the ships were designed to provide escort to convoys and the Clan's remaining WarShip assets. The ''Vanir'' entered production in [[3077]] at two of the Clan's shipyards located at [[Rasalhague]] and [[Alshain]]. The ''Vanir'' primarily acts as a fleet defender, using its weapon bays of sub-capital missiles launchers. Prior to the events of the Liberation of [[Terra]], some of the ships were gifted to [[Clan Nova Cat]] as part of a secret agreement between the Bears and the Allied Coalition leader, [[Devlin Stone]]. The ''Vanir''s that were given to the Nova Cats were taken from heavy escort forces for the [[Leviathan II|''Leviathan''-Class Heavy Battleship]], ''[[Great Bear]]''. The WarShip was later lost during the liberation in [[3078]], sowing resentment among the Clan Ghost Bear people. After the war, the class remained in limited production, with few examples of the design seen outside the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']].<ref name="TRO:3085p186+"/>

The ship's protection includes 90 tons of [[ferro-aluminum armor]], which provides considerable protection from attacks by capital grade weaponry. The ship has been equipped with a small [[naval comm-scanner suite]], giving the ship considerable sensor detection abilities.<ref name="TRO:3085p186+"/>
