History[edit]
Star Colonel Sidney Nevversan was an Elemental and commander of the Seventh Jaguar Dragoons in 3059.[1]
She was the leader of the Cluster during Operation REVIVAL
In May 3050, she bid her own Command Trinary, along with Trinary Assault and Binary Elemental, in the attack on Garstedt. The defending troops of the Third Alshain Regulars had taken up defensive positions in the Cordivas Grotto. The Dragoons chose to wait instead of attempting a near-suicidal assault on the Grotto. Tai-sa Albert Brookhaven, commander of the Regulars, realized she had a choice between starving and fighting. The Regulars made a dash for their DropShips situated to the south on the Filmore Steppes. In the running battle that ensued, the Dragoons used a series of fast, mobile strikes to pin the Regulars before Trinary Assault arrived. The Seventh drove the Third Regulars off-world with heavy losses, destroying an entire battalion of 'Mechs before the Regulars could escape to Schuyler.[2][1]
The Dragoons followed the Third Alshain Regulars to Schuyler and bid the same forces in the attack in June 3050. Unknown to the Dragoons, the Regulars had been resupplied and were not going to be caught out twice. The Regulars moved from point to point, fighting a series of battles across the planet, forcing the Dragoons to expend energy and supplies chasing them. After a week of fighting, including a notable engagement fought at Olasin Fjord, Sidney Nevversan was forced to break her bid and call in an additional Trinary. After a battle in the Mitsuhama Ridge the Third Alshain Regulars were once again driven off-world, this time with moderate losses.[3]
Nevversan participated in Tukayyid with the rest of the unit, surviving because they followed the order to retreat.[4]
Assigned to defend Tarazed, she offered safcon to the Second Star League forces that arrived in-system, not realizing how large a force they faced. As the First St. Ives Lancers, the Second Genyosha and the Third Donegal Guards RCT landed in the Krychek Mountains, Sidney Nevversan realized the situation her command was in and moved towards the Mosaikan Canyon Preserve in the hope of utilizing the network of canyons as defensive terrain. Light elements of the Second Genyosha saw the movement and reacted quicker than Nevversan thought possible, hitting the Dragoons supply convoys hard while they were on the move. The Third Donegal Guards RCT also reacted quickly, arriving at the canyons before the Dragoons and cutting them off from the Preserve. As the First St. Ives Lancers advanced, they caught an isolated Star of OmniMechs. Kai Allard-Liao, the Lancers commander, challenged the Star Captain to a Trial of Possession for her command, which Allard-Liao duly won. The Lancers then continued their assault and the Seventh was completely destroyed.[5][6] However, their JumpShip and two of their DropShips managed to flee the system.[1]
Nevversan died with the rest of her unit.
