Type | Battleship / WarShip |
Class | McKenna |
Equipped as a specialized 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 specialized vessels to survive the Amaris Civil War.[1] It was the flagship of Aleksandr Kerensky,[2][3] and the lead ship in Operation EXODUS.[4]
Contents
History
Star League Era
The McKenna's Pride was present at Kerensky's final assault on Terra.[5] After the Amaris Civil War ended, medics aboard the McKenna's Pride treated Jerome Blake. Aleksandr Kerensky met Blake at this time and they became friendly.[6] The ship also housed the remains of Stefan Amaris before his body was donated to a medical school.[7]
Exodus and Founding of the Clans
During the Prinz Eugen Rebellion, the McKenna's Pride led the task force that ran down the rebel ships. During Operation KLONDIKE the ship served as Nicholas Kerensky's flagship.[8]
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.[9] Every year it would do a flyby of Strana Mechty's capital city on Founding Day (August 24).[8]
In 2823, the McKenna was the place of a meeting between the Wolverine Khan Sarah McEvedy and Nicholas Kerensky, in which the first attempted to prevent his Clan imminent's Absorption, without success.[10] The same year, during the Trial of Annihilation against Clan Wolverine, saKhan Franklin Hallis commandeered the McKenna's Pride and performed an orbital bombardment on opposing Clan forces, freeing trapped Wolverine forces from their enclave. He then proceeded to bombard the Clan halls of Widowmaker, Smoke Jaguar, Ghost Bear, Snow Raven, and Jade Falcon, as well as the Grand Council hall itself. After the Wolverine forces were safely offworld, Hallis abandoned the McKenna's Pride and returned to the SLS Michigan.[11]
Wars of Reaving
In the early months of 3075, due to the heavy damage suffered by the Hall of Khans, the Grand Council moved to the McKenna's Pride while the building was rebuilt. It was onboard the McKenna than the Bloody Ilkhan Brett Andrews was killed. And right after, the warship 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.
