The [[DropShip]] '''''Gun Toter''''' was listed as part of the attached support vessels of [[Clan Wolf]]'s [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma Galaxy]] in a [[ComStar]] document dated 1 December [[3052]], as a ''[[Union]]''-class DropShip.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 90</ref>

==Notes==
It should be noted that sources from the early [[Clan Invasion era]], including the ComStar report naming this vessel, have been known to misreport [[Clan]] DropShips of the ''[[Broadsword]]'', ''[[Union-C]]'' and ''[[Overlord-C]]'' classes in particular as vessels of equivalent [[Inner Sphere]] classes, namely the ''[[Leopard]]'', ''[[Union]]'', and ''[[Overlord]]''.<ref>According to an official [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=56035.0 ruling] by [[Ray "Adrian Gideon" Arrastia]], made in the "Ask the Lead Developers" section of the [[BattleTech Forum]] which is reserved for official rulings.</ref> This leaves a distinct possibility that the ''Gun Toter'' was in fact a ''Union-C''. However, at the same time, other sources differentiated between these designs and still observed both Clan designs and their Inner Sphere predecessor designs serving side-by-side among the invading [[Clans]].<ref>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 42-48 ("Clan Jade Wolf Unit Summary") and pp. 54-57 ("Wolf Clan in Exile Unit Summary") lists numerous ''Overlord-C'', ''Overlord'', ''Union-C'', ''Union'', ''Broadsword'' and ''Leopard'' class vessels with individual units formerly of Clan Wolf, as well as other DropShip types such as ''Sassanid'', ''Confederate'', ''Titan'', and ''Lion''; this is an in-universe internal document by [[WolfNet]], who owing to their Clan roots would easily be able to tell these DropShip classes from each other, and whose report can thus presumably be taken at face value. While the report does not name individual vessels, it does prove the existence of ''Leopard'', ''Union'' and ''Overlord'' class vessels of Clan origin, and that such a mix was still found in Clan ''[[touman]]s'' even five years after the Battle of Tukayyid.</ref> For a lack of conclusive evidence to the contrary, the notion that the ''Gun Toter'' was a ''Union'' (and not a ''Union-C'') is therefore taken at face value for the purpose of this article.
