	Since 2088 NGE, the UEN has conducted training for the N.DS-13, however, initial training was done on the Army's Boxer and Thunder variants until the delivery of the first batch of N.DS-13s in 2089 NGE. The first units were stationed at [[Carson Naval Station\|Carson Naval Base]] and the [[United Elementian Seventh Fleet\|7th Fleet]], primarily aboard the supercarriers, ''[[UES Kerena (CVN-73)\|Kerena]]'', and ''[[UES Ollivan (CVN-68)\|Ollivan]]'', and the railgun battleships, ''[[UES Lumerace (~~BBR~~-102)\|Lumerace]]'', ''[[UES Tecara (~~BBR~~-99)\|Tecara]]'', and ''[[UES Dawntun (~~BBR~~-112)\|Dawntun]]''.

	In 2086 NGE, Aires Dynamics was granted $1.6 billion dollars by the United Elementian Armed Command to further develop the X.DS-13 into a full-production model for usage by the United Elementian Army. The Navy confronted the company about the project, and requested for modified version of the developing DS-13 Sparrow for usage aboard ships. The design for the modified Sparrow would be completed in early 2087 NGE, followed by an additional $2.9 billion in funding from the UEAC for development and production of the additional dropships.

	The Shore Sparrow can handle anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), close air support (CAS) naval special warfare (NSW) insertion, search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). Due to the Shore Sparrow's size, it was unable to operate on the smaller class of ships in the United Elementian Navy and Coast Guard, and as such, operated alongside the M.DS-9 Tern until the latter's retirement in 2104 NGE, being replaced by the [[M.DS-15 Murre]].

The different circumstances surrounding the operations of ship-deployed aircraft required the hull of the Sparrows to be modified extensively (most notably, making the rotor blades collapsible and allowing the wing structure to rotate to reduce size). The United Elementian Navy and Marine Corps began training for the Shore Sparrow by 2088 NGE, before completion of the modified hulls. Training was done on the United Elementian Army's [[U.DH-13 Boxer Sparrow]] for SAR, NSW, CSAR, and MEDEVAC operations, while the [[A.DH-13 Thunder Sparrow]] was used for CAS and ASUW operations.

	The first Shore Sparrows were delivered to the UEN in mid-2089 NGE, supplanting the M.DS Puffins serving on their ships. Delivery of the Shore Sparrow would reach the UEMC at the beginning of 2090 NGE.

			During the 2070s NGE, the United Elementian Navy began to look for a new drop ship to replace their aging fleet of M.DS-10 Puffins for long-ranged missions. in 2079 NGE, the UEN opened the '''Variable Mission Dropship Contest''' to find a suitable replacement, however, by 2085 NGE, the contest was defunded after its failure to procure a prototype that satisfied the Navy's needs.

			== Overview ==
			The '''N.DS-13 Shore Sparrow''' was a variant of the Elementian '''[[DS-13 Sparrow]]''', manufactured by Elementian aerospace company, Aires Dynamics. It was developed at the request of the United Elementian Navy to replace their [[M.DS-10 Puffin\|M.DS-10 Puffins]] that operated from their ships.

			The Shore Sparrow can handle anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), close air support (CAS) naval special warfare (NSW) insertion, search and rescue (SAR), combat search and rescue (CSAR), vertical replenishment (VERTREP), and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC). Due to the Shore Sparrow's size, it was unable to operate on the smaller class of ships in the United Elementian Navy and Coast Guard, and as such, operated alongside the M.DS-9 Tern until the latter's retirement in 2104 NGE, being replaced by the [[M.DS-15 Murre]].
