After Captain [[Colin Campbell]] of First Company was killed by artillery fire, Sinclair volunteered to take over command of his company and hold the defensive line against incoming [[AFFS]] 'Mechs. Realizing that only 'Mechs with [[jump jet]]s stood a chance of escape through the dense jungle terrain, she switched machines with one of First Company's ''[[Commando]]'' pilots, giving him her ''Javelin''. She led the rearguard action while the remainder of the Highlander force pulled out.<ref>''BattleTechnology'' 0203, pp. 36-37, ''Sinclair's last radio exchange with Major Fraser''</ref>{{Quote|'''''Let ‘em know they're up against the Northwind!''''' –Cassandra Sinclair rallies her rearguard to face the Davion ‘Mechs. <ref>''BattleTechnology'' 0203, pp. 37</ref>}}

Sinclair's final disposition is unknown, but it is likely that AFFS garrison forces killed her when First Company was overwhelmed.
