History

Seventy-first
Sandra was promoted to command of the rebuilt Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment in 3055. She proved herself an able commander, but the heavy losses her unit suffered during the Battle of Coventry eroded her confidence.[4] Unknown to the rest of the ELH command, witnessing the brutal death of Daniel Umsont caused her to suffer from PTSD.[5]
During a Trial of Possession for a battalion of the 71st, the Star League Embassy on Strana Mechty, and the Star League enclave of Lootera on Huntress, the 71st reduced a Clan Goliath Scorpion force led by Galaxy Commander Rik Myers to a Binary of troops. Colonel Barclay offered Galaxy Commander Myers hegira. Myers refused, and soon Barclay faced Myers' Fire Scorpion in her Cerberus. She sent a Gauss rifle round into his cockpit, killing him. Star Colonel Malachi Posavatz then accepted Barclay's offer of hegira.[3]
She was taken as bondsman by Clan Goliath Scorpion with the rest of her unit on 10 July 3068 following a Trial of Possession.[3] Sandra became abtakha and became a Goliath Scorpion Warrior.[6] At one point, she was promoted to Star Colonel and assigned command of the 1st Eridani Lancers.[7]
According to Khan Ariel Suvorov in February of 3075, all of the Scorpions' warriors who originated as abtakha taken from the Eridani Light Horse were dead.[8]
Sandra Barclay would posthumously be honored with the creation of the Barclay Bloodname.[9]
