The '''''League''''' is a class of [[DropShip]] that is known only through one single vessel of the class, the ''[[Assagai]]''. What little information known about the ship class is taken from that single ship's description, though ambiguous wording implies that the ''Assagai'' may in fact be a modified ''League''-class vessel and not represent the standard configuration.

This DropShip class has not been mentioned anywhere else. However, its entry in the [[Master Unit List]] confirms that it is a [[canonical]] DropShip class though, distinct from the ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class [[WarShip]].<ref>[[MUL]] entry [http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4485/league-standard here]</ref>

==Description==
In its introduction, the ''Assagai'' is described as an "old ''League''-class ship, one outfitted as an orbital headquarters and communications relay vessel for Marik planetary operations."<ref name=PG5>''The Price of Glory'', ch. 5</ref>

Being described as an "old" ship from a [[3028]] viewpoint, near the end of the [[Succession Wars era]], suggests that the ship and ship class are likely a [[Star League era]] design.

The ambiguous wording ("one outfitted as...") leaves it open if the orbital headquarters and communications relay capabilities on the ''Assagai'' were standard for a ''League''-class DropShip, or if the ''Assagai'' had received an individual refit resulting in those capabilities.

Furthermore, dish antennae are mentioned as being "deployed from communications equipment bays high up near the armored bulge that marks the ship's bridge," one directed at the planet below (while in orbit) and one directed outward into deep space, toward the [[jump point]].<ref name=PG5/> This seems to infer an [[:Category:Aerodyne DropShip classes|aerodyne]] (as opposed to a [[:Category:Spheroid DropShip classes|spheroid]]) DropShip design.
