History
The McKenna's Honor - was an Lion-class DropShip in Strana Mechty, which was stolen and destroyed in 3076 by the members of Operation Spatha II, part of the Wolf Operation DAMOCLES II.
Operational History
The Honor was the supply ship of the WarShip McKenna's Pride. The 5 April 3076, was being loaded in the dropport of Katyusha City when its crew was captured by a group of Dark Caste warriors. His leader, who declared himself to be Wulfgar, a member of the annihilated Clan Steel Viper, and his men closed every crewmember in a bunker, and soon, a new crew manned the Honor, who take off. The truth, however, was very different: Wulfgar was , in reality, Garmen Kerensky, an [Elemental]] of Clan Wolf. He had been tasked, five years ago, by his Khan Vlad Ward, to lead Operation Spatha, an secret operation to board the McKenna's Pride and stole Aleksandr Kerensky's body. However, his mission failed when his first DropShip, the Botany Bay (DropShip) was destroyed in aerospace attack.[1] Allied with Satinka, the Winter Lady, an important Dark Caste leader, Garmen's men have been preparing his next attempt, Spatha II, for five years. The same day, the Honor successfully docked with the Pride, and Garmen's men boarded it. Using the Blanket, a jamming communication device, they take all key points of the ship without raising any alarm.[2]
Destruction
However, Spatha II also began having problems: the boarders assault was discovered, and Aleksandr's body was too much difficult to retrieve. For this, Garmen was forced to change of plan, and decided to stole the Pride too. In hours, they were followed and attacked by several WarShips, assault DropShips, and aerospace fighters. One of the WarShips, the Absolute Truth was approaching fast to the Pride, when, unexpectedly, the Honor detached from the last.[3] The Honor, it is unknown if crewed by some valiant crewmembers or in remote control, did a suicide run against the Truth. The unnamed heroes achieved the success: the WarShip's fire cannot stop the suicide DropShip: it destroyed it, smashing into the Truth's bow.[4] The DropShip's sacrifice was a success: the Absolute Truth was heavily damaged and cannot continue the Pride's persecution, and the last ship managed to escape: Spatha II was a total success, and the Home Clans even ignored who was the responsible of it.[5]
Notes
- The Honor's name may suggest than the DropShip was the regular Pride's supply ship.
