Overview:
The early days of the Jihad cost the Dragoons thousands of lives and much of their naval fleet, including the Lola III-class Nelson. In the end though, the Word of Blake were destroyed, and the Dragoons began to rebuild. One of their chief intiatives was the building of a new frigate to support the Athenas coming out of the yards. They also wanted a ship capable of rapid insertion of ground forces and began design work on the new frigate. The result first showed its face in 3083 and they named it the Nelson in honor of their lost WarShip.
Based off the Athena, it mounts the same weapon systems, though many of them are moved, and their numbers increased or decreased. Like the Athena it can carry one DropShip through a jump, but rapid insertion teams often avoid this. The large cargo hold has often been used to carry as many as 30 to 40 BattleMechs, and the Nelson is designed with a sleek exterior that allows it to cut through a planet's atmosphere with ease. The Black Widow Company made the Nelsons famous by jumping them into a pirate point, then performing a high-speed orbital drop before the planetary defense forces could marshal a response. Other units have since mirrored that use, making the Nelsons a feared raiding ship.
The Nelsons have been sold to many mercenary units, like the Athena, and can be seen throughout the Human Sphere.
