History

The McKenna's Honor was a Lion-class DropShip assigned as a supply ship to the WarShip McKenna's Pride circa 3076.

Operational History

Circa 3071, Garmen Kerensky had been tasked by Khan Vlad Ward to lead Operation SPATHA, a secret operation to board the McKenna's Pride and steal Aleksandr Kerensky's body. However, his mission failed when his first DropShip, the Botany Bay, was destroyed by an aerospace attack.[1]

Allied with Satinka, the Winter Lady, an important Dark Caste leader, Garmen's men prepared for their next attempt to retrieve General Kerensky's body, SPATHA II, for five years.

On 5 April 3076, the McKenna's Honor was captured by a group of Dark Caste warriors in the DropPort of Katyusha City. The Dark Caste leader was supposedly Wulfgar, a ex-member of Clan Steel Viper. In reality, Wulfgar was actually Garmen Kerensky. Garmen's team was able to use the Honor to successfully board the Pride without raising an alarm. [2]

Destruction

Unfortunately, Garmen's team was discovered before they could get the General's body off the Pride.

When Garmen's team decided to steal the Pride itself to get General Kerensky's body to safety, the Pride was followed by several WarShips, assault DropShips and aerospace fighters for hours.

When the Absolute Truth attempted to close on the Pride, the McKenna's Honor detached and rammed the Truth, resulting in the loss of the Honor, but also allowing Garmen's team on the Pride to escape with General Kerensky's body. [3]


Notes

  • The Honor's name may suggest that the DropShip was the Pride's regular supply ship.
