The Battle of Coventry (scenario pack)

After the deaths of Khans Vandervahn Chistu and Elias Crichell, Marthe Pryde ordered Clan Jade Falcon to attack the Lyran Alliance in order to both train her new warriors and demonstrate to the other Clans that the Falcons were not easy prey. She saw this as vital because the Jade Falcon touman was still recovering from the Refusal War. By sending her newest troops against the Spheroids, she would provide them with considerable real-world experience and forestall any takeover attempts by other Clans. Ultimately they landed on Coventry, an important Lyran world.

To force them off the planet, Katherine Steiner-Davion hired several mercenary units, including the Waco Rangers, Wolf's Dragoons Delta and Gamma regiments, and the Eridani Light Horse's 71st Light Horse regiment. These units were pinned on the world until Victor Steiner-Davion led a multi-national task force to break the Jade Falcon's hold on the world. Ultimately the Harloc Raiders, Knights of the Inner Sphere, 11th Lyran Guards, Wolf's Dragoons Alpha, Beta, and Epsilon regiments, 1st Genyosha, 1st St. Ives Lancers, ComStar's Invader Galaxy, and the Davion Heavy Guards RCT all landed on the planet and pushed the Falcons off-world.
