During this time, the unit was able to secure a Division's worth of production runs of [[BattleMechs]] and other equipment from the CMW complex. The two Level IIIs along with the limited Aerospace forces from the ''Immortal Spirit'' continued to blockade the planet until [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] Coalition Force arrived in [[3073|mid-3073]].

During the Coalition's battle for the planet, the 30th Division was isolated in both the capital city and CMW production complex. The Level III entrenched at the complex fought a pitched battle against coalition forces which included [[Clan Jade Falcon]] troops. However, both forces were utterly shattered in process of the liberation of the planet by the Coalition.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 38 - "Internal Report # 02172/74" - Liberation of Coventry aftermath.</ref>

During the Coventry operations, expatriates were assigned to the 30th Division. These individuals filled the ranks of the Division and were assigned to conduct strikes in the [[Draconis Combine]]. Many of these new troops appear to have come from training camps in the [[Circinus Federation]].  This was indicated as new Division elements struck Combine worlds of [[Alya]] and [[Kessel]]. The Circinus troops were noted for their brutality by using neutron bombs on world of Kessel.  Reports of the Combine's [[WarShip]], [[Kirishima#Named_Vessels|DCS ''Siriwan'']] that was in the system, did not detect these Blakist forces.

In [[3071]] the entire division was relocated to the Free Worlds League world of [[Loyalty]].  It became part of the Blakist operating theater's defense forces in the [[Duchy of Graham-Marik]].  The 30th lost a Level III to one of the many raids conducted by the newly independent [[Duchy of Tamarind]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 98 - "30th Division" - Unit Brief history.</ref>

The 30th Division's Circinus recruits have given the unit a reputation for being aggressive and brutal.  When an element of the 30th is adjacent to the enemy, it receives a negative modifier to its piloting or anti-'Mech skill rolls.  These include melee to-hit rolls when doing physical attacks in the same turn.  However, the unit suffers a positive modifier to its gunnery skill when this ability is in effect.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 141, "Rules Annex"</ref>
