==Description==
 
==Description==
After the deaths of [[Khan]]s [[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 [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|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 multinational 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.

''In early [[3058]], following the disastrous [[Trial of Refusal]] with [[Clan Wolf]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] launches a brutal campaign against the [[Lyran Alliance]] to regain its status among the invading Clans. As the Lyran Alliance tries desperately to marshal the necessary troops to stop this invasion at [[Coventry]], military forces from all the major powers in the Inner Sphere converge on the war-torn planet. With massive troops poised on both sides of the conflict, the battle for Coventry threatens to explode into an all-out war with the [[Clans]] once again! Will the [[Truce of Tukayyid]] hold?''
