The Ironclad is Drake’s heavy freighter for deep-space hauling: heavy-duty durability and deadly weapons to protect a vast open-roof, ramp-accessible hold.

📜 Its history

The Ironclad and Ironclad Assault were unveiled by Drake at Drake DefenseCon 2954, an event run alongside Invictus Launch Week… with the obvious aim of upstaging it.
