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".
