− In the closing years of the [[Age of War]], Captain [[Kossandra Centrella (26th c.)|Kossandra Centrella]] was a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] with the [[Defenders of Andurien]] when her unit was part of an attack against the [[Capellan Confederation]] world of [[Highspire]]. However, when the order to withdraw from the world was given, a combination of poor communications and ineptitude by her senior commanders resulted in Captain Centrella and her unit of two [[BattleMech]] [[lance]]s being left behind while the rest of the [[Free Worlds League]] forces escaped. Centrella was able to save her unit from total destruction and, disguising themselves as merchants, hijack a Capellan [[JumpShip]] to return to Free Worlds territory. The captain's unexpected return and daring escape from Highspire made her a state hero within the Free Worlds, bestowing upon her great honor and promotions.<ref name=TP22>''The Periphery'', p. 22</ref> + In the closing years of the [[Age of War]], Captain [[Kossandra Centrella]] was a [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] with the [[Defenders of Andurien]] when her unit was part of an attack against the [[Capellan Confederation]] world of [[Highspire]].
