Lore

The Ironclad and Ironclad Assault were unveiled by Drake Interplanetary during StarCitizen:Drake DefenseCon 2954, an event run by Drake as a tagalong to the StarCitizen:Invictus Launch Week. The obvious aim was to eclipse the official convention.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Trivia

An ironclad was a steam-propelled warship protected by steel or iron armor constructed from 1859 to the early 1890s. The ironclad was developed as a result of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive and incendiary shells.<ref>Wikipedia: Ironclad Warship</ref>
The community has affectionately dubbed the Ironclad with playful nicknames like "Fatterpillar" and "Ironchad".

 |Vehicle bay
-|The cargo bay of the normal [[StarCitizen:Ironclad]] is repurposed explicitly for the carriage of vehicles in the Ironclad Assault, supporting up to four [[StarCitizen:Tumbril]] [[StarCitizen:Nova]]s or their equivalent and presenting a forward ramp to allow vehicles to embark or disembark from the ship under their own power. The bay is also useful for the carriage of a large flight of snub fighters or their equivalent due to the retained retracting roof, allowing for vertical access. Despite this repurposing, the bay is still useful for heavy freight when the ship is not being used for its primary task, though lacking the [[StarCitizen:Ironclad]]'s tractor beam support.<ref name="IAssaultFlyable"/>
