Appearances[edit | edit source]
- Mission 5: August 15, 2160, McGann and his outfit, the Cobras, participate in a critical supply run meant to bolster the ailing alliance. However, the Cobras and McGann soon go rogue, absconding with the transports and starting to prey on Alliance and Coalition shipping lanes.
- Mission 13: April 15, 2161. McGann and the rogue Cobras are duped into hijacking a tracked cargo carrier, leading the Tigers and the Pumas to Fort Vanguard, their headquarters. There, the ex-Colonel makes his last stand together with his pirates.
