Vincenzo McTiernan was the commanding officer of the McKenna-class Caph in 2764.[1]

History[edit]

In 2764, the Caph was serving within the Second Fleet and was under the command of Admiral Vincenzo McTiernan; the Caph and the Second Fleet roamed independently within the borders of the Terran Hegemony, constantly searching for signs of intrusion by the various Great Houses.[2] When the coup launched by Stefan Amaris erupted within the Hegemony communications with Terra were lost, but the Caph and Admiral McTiernan survived the devastating early battles of the coup, and the Caph became the command vessel of the secret fleets that operated from the hidden bases of Liberty and Points Freedom throughout the Amaris Civil War.[1]

When the Sovetskii Soyuz-class SLS Kharkov escaped the Amaris Coup carrying away the Director of the JAG Command, General Sergey Araujo, and General Kim Hyong Suk, Director of the Rep-Dep Command, the Kharkov made its way to one of the many SLDF relay points scattered around the uninhabited systems within the boundaries of the Terran Hegemony. Arriving at what would subsequently be known as Freedom Station towards the end of January, the Kharkov joined what became known as the "Secret Fleet," operating under the auspices of the two High Command officers rescued from Terra, among them Admiral Vincenzo McTiernan.[3]

The First Fleet vessels that survived the initial battles eventually combined forces with the Second Fleet under Admiral Vincenzo McTiernan to form a part of the covert SLDF fleet which continued to operate from hidden bases such as Freedom Station within the Hegemony for the remainder of the war.[1]
