History

The SLS Enterprise was a modified McKenna class battleship and was one of six McKennas in service with the SLDF navy that had been the subject of special modifications to allow them to service as specialized command ships,[1][2] each capable of acting as a mobile headquarters for either the First Lord or members of the High Command.[3]

In 2764 the Star League was under the command of Vice Admiral Santiago Mroczkiewicz[1] and was the command ship of the High Command squadron within the First Fleet;[3] the Enterprise typically spent most of its time above Terra or deployed within the borders of the Terran Hegemony.[1]

During Stefan Amaris' coup on Terra in late December 2766 the Enterprise and its squadron were responsible for destroying the Rim Worlds Republic flagship, the RWS Stefan Amaris along with numerous other Republican WarShips, as well as covering the evacuation of the surviving SLDF High Command staff from Terra before being destroyed by surface to orbit fire from defences on Terra under the control of the Republican forces.[4]

Notes

The other sister command ships to the SLS Enterprise were the SLS Caph, SLS McKenna's Pride, SLS New Earth, SLS Star League and SLS Terra.
