Description
Amongst the 280 strong McKenna class there was a small subclass, only six were built and these would serve as Command Ships for not only entire fleets but the SLDF itself, operating much like Airforce One does today as a command post from which the Commanding General of the SLDF could direct an entire campaign. Whilst identical in terms of armament and protection (and dropship and fighter capacity) the hull of the sub class was significantly different. They featured enhanced facilities and quarters for senior staff as well as a pair of HPG's for interstellar communication. There was also a heavily reinforced 'bunker' that could double as a lfeboat for any senior staff on board.Of this sub class, only one would survive the Amaris War, the flagship of the SLDF, the SLS McKenna's Pride. This ship took General Kerensky, commander of the SLDF into exile and serves as his tomb and a central piece in the Clan Founders Day Celebrations where the ship remains in constant orbit over the Clan's Capital World of Strana Mechty.

This also happens to be the design they used for the Clan refits of the Mckenna when they introduced that :/ I prefer the one Colorbrand did, mainly cause its the original.

Yep, I thought it looked quite good and was one of the few base designs I liked, but instead of having it as the main ship, its an incredibly rare command variant.
