==Overview:==
        The Leopard Class DropShip is the standard light transport vehicle
throughout the Successor States and has proved its worth over years of
continuous service. Ease of maintenance and low operating costs have made the
Leopard popular among all the Successor State militaries. Designed as a small
and reliable assault craft, all of its systems save for the sophisticated
propulsion unit can be easily repaired or replaced.
        The V84 drive system is more difficult to service, but a large supply
of them still exists and spares are continually salvaged from destroyed
DropShips. It therefore seems likely that the Leopard and Leopard-CV will
remain in service for many years.

==Deployment==
        Both the Leopard and the Leopard-CV date back to the early days of
'Mech warfare, when they were used in conjunction with other older ships such
as the Lion heavy transport. Of this early generation of DropShips, only the
Leopard and Leopard-CV have survived the ravages of the Succession Wars.
        Raids and small 'Mech operations remain the Leopard's primary mission,
though they are also deployed in larger-scale operations. A standard Leopard
is perfect for short missions away from the main body of an invasion force.
        Vulnerable on the ground and lightly armored by comparison to Union
and Overlord Class DropShips, the Leopard almost always returns to space or
high altitude after delivering its 'Mechs. The CV version almost never enters
low atmosphere, where its weapons are useless.
        Standard Leopards can carry a full air lance of 'Mechs and aerospace
fighters, and many air lances are traditionally associated with a specific
Leopard. This combination is especially useful when the Leopard is assigned to
commando and raiding duties. Because they are so easy to maintain and repair,
Leopards are popular with pirates, who often use them in raids for water and
spare parts.
