The '''''Crossing''''' was a ''[[Trutzburg]]''-class DropShip owned and operated by the mercenary unit [[Wolf's Dragoons]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Along with its sister ships [[Glenmora (Individual Trutzburg-class DropShip)|''Glenmora'']] and [[Misery (Individual Trutzburg-class DropShip)|''Misery'']], the ''Crossing'' was initially assigned to the Black Cats, a battalion of Wolf's Dragoon's [[Gamma Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Gamma Regiment]], and it carried them to the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]]. After the Black Cats were annihilated, the DropShips were put in reserve, though they didn't stay inactive for long.<br />
<br />
Major [[Haya Tetsuhara]], under orders to resurrect the long gone [[Zeta Battalion]], took the ships for his reborn unit, becoming their transports and artillery platforms, on 21 October 3151.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 133</ref><br />
<br />
Soon after, they carried Zeta on its first contract, invading the [[Wolf Empire]] under contract to the [[Duchy of Tamarind]]. On 1 January [[3152]], on [[Labouchere]], their artillery made short work of the Wolf garrison, departing immediately. On the second target, [[Alula Borealis]], they didn't need to fire a single shot. On the third, [[Trellisane]], the same. Having completed their contract, in March Zeta returned immediately to their secret base on [[Ilion]].<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 235</ref><br />
<br />
The DropShip saw much more action in its next mission, a raid on [[Gienah]], capital of the Empire, in June. Posing as [[Free Guilds]] ships, they arrived undetected, but once on land, they had plenty of targets: after the Wolves landed their ''[[Union-C]]'' DropShips nearby, the ''Trutzburg''s' guns quickly destroyed one on the ground, and a second when it attempted to take off. The Wolves were forced to retreat.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 298–304</ref><br />
<br />
After jumping and carrying Zeta to Alliago City, the Wolf capital, all three DropShips used their artillery to ensure Zeta's victory before departing.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', pp. 307–328</ref><br />
