In addition to protecting the First Lord and the High Command, the First Fleet was intended to allow the High Command to manage the Star League, the military and any potential conflicts no matter their current location; to facilitate this, all four command vessels, the SLS ''Terra'', ''Star League'', ''McKenna's Pride'' and ''Enterprise'' were fitted out with specialist equipment to allow them to function as specialized command vessels. This equipment included a substantial array of intelligence gathering and communication elements, and allowed the vessels to act as mobile command headquarters.<ref name="H:LoTv1p46"/> Together with the two lead vessels of the [[2nd Fleet (Star League)|Second Fleet]], the SLS ''New Earth'' and the SLS ''Caph'', these six vessels formed the Star League Emergency Command Post Network, or SLECoP.<ref name="H:LoTv1p46A">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 46: "Second Fleet"</ref>
