Equipped as a specialised command ship, the SLS McKenna's Pride led the SLDF Commanding General's squadron, one of three line squadrons within the SLDF First Fleet during the Star League era, and was the only one of the six such specialised vessels to survive the Amaris Civil War.[1] It was the flagship of Aleksandr Kerensky, and the lead ship in Operation Exodus.
During the Prinz Eugen Rebellion, the McKenna's Pride led the task force that ran down the rebel ships.
Following the founding of the Clans, the vessel was kept in orbit around Strana Mechty and maintained by all of the Clans, serving as Aleksandr Kerensky's tomb.[2]
It was reactivated in 3075 during the Wars of Reaving, partaking in a multi-Clan action to annihilate Clan Steel Viper at the head of the fleet attacking New Kent in December. On 22 December its batteries opened up on the city of New Kent City from orbit, eradicating the last Clan Steel Viper holding and concluding that Clan's annihilation.
