General Larry Godson was a Lyran Commonwealth infantry commander on Garrison during the early thirty-first century.[1]
History[edit]
The then Commander Godson commanded the infantry forces on the Lyran world of Garrison, who defended against a raid by the Draconis Combine, during the reign of Archon Katrina Steiner. The planet's 'Mech forces had been withdrawn to defend more important worlds, when 15 lances of Combine 'Mechs landed, opposed only by Godson's 15 companies of infantry. On facing a charge by several lances of 'Mechs, the dug-in infantry held their fire even while taking heavy losses in accordance with Godson's order that they "Don't fire till you see the glow of their control panels!".
Finally ordering they open fire at point-blank range, the Godson's infantry destroyed several of the attacking 'Mech via cockpit strikes, throwing the remainder of the Combine forces into confusion at the infantry's perseverance. Godson's force took advantage of this confusion, destroying the remaining 'Mechs in a fierce 20 minute battle. Godson then ordered his troops to their Armored Personnel Carriers, retreating to nearby hills to await the remainder of the Combine raiding force. When these arrived two hours later, cautiously surveying the carnage, Godson again attacked destroying a further five 'Mechs and driving the rest to retreat off-world.
Following this engagement, and before 3025, Godson was promoted to General.[1][2]
